Huayi: I’m happy to be here, Spiffy! As our world becomes more and more connected, it is becoming important to be able to communicate with people from different cultures. So many children are learning to speak two languages! Being bilingual also helps children in a lot of ways. For example, they might do better in school, learn about different cultures, and have more job choices when they grow up. By providing multicultural, diverse education, we can teach children to be multilingual global citizens and also help bridge the cultural and language gap among people.
Javier: Glad to be with you, Spiffy! We're looking to address loneliness among adults across the country.
