Happy International Mother Language Day!

superlinguo:

I hope you’re all having a great day and get the change to speak your own language at some point today!

If, like me, you’re an English native speaker it’s hard not to feel a little bit guilty on a day like today. I’ve never had to think about my future prospects being linked to a language test, rarely had to worry about whether people will speak my language when I travel and never had to face schooling in a foreign language.

There’s a great post over at Fully (Sic) today about Mother Language in Australia if you’re interested.
