Most People Are Multilingual

Here’s my comment I submitted a couple of minutes ago at Climb to the Stars on Most People Are Multilingual (cos I’m not sure if my comment wasn’t gobbled):

In southern Africa (Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, SA) most people are multi-lingual with varying levels of language competency in at least 3 languages.

For example in Malawi, children learn English and Chichewa from the first class onwards. Their mother tongue being Chitumbuka or Chisena or Chilomwe. At secondary school level, nearly all subjects are taught in English.

    I added mine to that, if it’s ok. 😉

  2. No worry, it wasn’t gobbled! Just held in moderation. I need a template that indicates that, sorry. I know it’s not very clear.

    Thanks a lot for your comment, by the way!
