💚 Dear Language Experts and Volunteers, 

Thank YOU for all your help for this event. The event went very well 🎊  We are receiving a lot of wonderful feedback from those who participated in the event. The followings are some examples.

“It was really nice! It was very welcoming and everyone respected each others languages and cultures. I appreciated that they included ASL, I will 100% do this again”

“Good session ! I had the opportunity to meet many people from all the origines. We spoke together on Arabic language and culture as well as they were learning new words in Arabic. “

“The session was great! There was loads of interest in Portuguese. It was great talking to people about the similarities & differences between Portuguese & Spanish as well as learning how they are connected through friends, family or hobbies to Portuguese speakers. I appreciated the table set up, white boards & markers provided. I brought some helpful phrases print outs that were super helpful as well. I was impressed by the level of participation as well. I wish that I could have stayed longer. “
