Time for another #FunFactFriday! In many cultures, children are told to keep their baby teeth under their pillow and the Tooth Fairy will give them money in exchange for their teeth. But Greek children are told to toss their tooth onto their roofs. This cultural tradition is meant for the child to have a healthy tooth as well as good luck for the family.#culture #culturaltradition

In 2021, one of the world's biggest Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) firms - and one of our biggest clients - was getting ready to transition a major Japanese corporation's accounting operations to the Philippines. They needed their Filipino accountants to learn to speak, read, and write Japanese. According to the U.S. Department of Foreign Service Institute (FSI), to reach "general professional proficiency" in Japanese it takes 88 weeks (about 20 months) or 2,200 class hours. We only had 9 months to make that happen. Read the incredible story about how we delivered on that deadline here: https://lnkd.in/gQqcKnFp #languagelearning #Japanese #BPO
There's nothing quite like the atmosphere of the airport - different people from all walks of life going in every direction as they're just getting off a flight or about to board one. But what happens if a flight is delayed or canceled and some of those people don't speak the local language? Chaos. Our Director of Program Design, Curriculum, and Instruction got to witness this very thing happen during her recent travels. After 4 hours of sitting on the plane, the flight was eventually canceled, and #language barriers between passengers and employees only made the stressful situation worse. In our latest blog, our Director covers the impact of miscommunication, the benefits of investing in language and #interculturaltraining, and so much more.

It's #FunFactFriday! German World Children's Day is the official children's day of #Germany, one of two children's days recognized in Germany every year. While two children's days are recognized in Germany, both days are celebrated but not by everyone. This day was first established in Germany in 1954 and is now celebrated around the world as a way to promote children's rights and well-being. It's a time to focus on the future of our world and recognize the importance of nurturing and supporting our youth.
What does it really take to learn a new #language? Turns out, confidence plays a bigger role in second language acquisition than you may think. Hear from our Chief Learning Officer as he explains why confidence and "faking it until you make it" are the keys to successful #languagelearning.

Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhongqiu Jie in Chinese, also known as the Mooncake Festival or Moon Festival, is one of China's biggest holidays, on par with the popularity of Chinese New Year. The history of the festival dates back over 3,000 years. The festival is held on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese lunisolar calendar with a full moon at night, corresponding to mid-September to early October of the Gregorian calendar. On this day, the Chinese believe that the moon is at its brightest and fullest size, coinciding with harvest time in the middle of autumn. Families get together under the full moon and light lanterns to symbolically illuminate the path to success for the rest of the year.
