Welcome to West Island School’s European Languages magazine! This is where you will receive updates for anything related to the European Languages within WIS, such as events, special occasions and so much more.
Typically, this magazine will be updated every two weeks, with articles, videos and other exciting things coming from the EU ambassadors.
For students, this is your launchpad. Forget the idea that language learning is just memorization. Here, Spanish and French connect to everything that matters to you: popular music, fun events, festivals, and more. We’ll help you move from "learning a language" to using it - to understand, to explore, and to stand out.
For parents, this is your window. Here, you’ll see how these languages evolve from school subjects into real-world superpowers. We’ll highlight the cognitive benefits, the academic advantages, and the future opportunities that fluency unlocks. Consider this a resource to support your child’s journey, with insights into cultural immersion, practical learning tips, and pathways where these languages lead - from university programs to global careers.
Together, you’ll discover more than vocabulary. You’ll discover the cultures, conversations, and confidence that come with every new word. Whether you're guiding from the sidelines or learning alongside your child, this journey promises growth, understanding, and a world of possibilities waiting to be explored.
Let's begin this beautiful, bilingual journey as a community.
¡Vamos! Allons-y!
Brought to you by the WIS European Language Faculty, and the EU Language Ambassadors.
