Language opportunities for communities
Having lived in a London borough for several years, having moved here from Scotland with my now six year old daughter, I found language could create a barrier within local communities. Whilst my daughter attended nursery, I noticed immediately the difficulty faced by families where English was not their first language. This in turn made matters complicated when addressing form filling for example or fully being able to participate. For some this can create exclusion.
I currently have my daughter enrolled in a language school learning a secondary language (Spanish) as I feel it’s important to learn cultures other than our own. These classes come at a cost as she is taught privately. A cost I’m aware is not affordable to all. I would like to see language schools affordable or free to all in community hubs.
