"How do people speak Spanish?"
The room got silent. The fifteen year old student wasn't joking.
I responded, "How do you speak English? You learned words and how to create sentences. It's no different with other languages."
He was confused by how our brains make words. But language can seem mysterious!
It was last year that I was especially saddened when a student was shocked that a regular person could make a web site. I told him it was really simple and he could do it.
Think of the potential out there if more students were inspired to learn! Smash the digital divide.
