"I'm rich and I can speak two languages" can often get the resounding "Wow!" Or the flattering "Impressive!" But when it comes to people from lower classes or those from the global majority, bilingualism is often looked down on - especially in our Western world. What is it about elevating the languages of the rich and judging the languages of the poor?
Grab a seat and hang out with Hostion and Andrea as we explore the societal implications of bilingualism, highlighting how it is often celebrated in high-status individuals like Princess Charlotte, while immigrant children face negative stereotypes. We'll highlight how the majority of countries around the globe can speak many languages, revealing how pervasive it is in many regions yet overlooked in Western countries. We'll examine our own bias and our own judgement of others who may not have the grasp of one language over the other. We must examine our biases and assumptions tied to language proficiency, and value all people for who they are instead of what languages they speak or don't speak. Enjoy a bit of trivia about Canadian bilingual provinces and a surprising fact about the world's most multilingual person.
