My multi-lingual self: Children's language self-portraits

3. 'HEART VS BRAIN'


One boy is from Morocco. He lives in Italy.

He draws a heart for Morocco and writes:

Arabic is the language of my heart. … It is the official language of my country, Morocco. ...”

He draws a brain for Italy and writes:

Italian is the language I speak at school, with friends and teachers. It is the language I use to speak, to write, and to think. And it is the language of the country I was born in.”
