This 26th of September is the European Day of Languages and we will
be organising some activities with people of 4th DBH. One of them will
be a quiz about languages, asking them the different meanings of foreing
words or some curiosities about european languages or countries.
For example, some of them will be:
1-What's the language that has the longest word?(Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz)
2-Whats the language with the longest alphabet?
a-Chinese b-Greek c-Cambodian d-Indonesian
3-How many official languages are spoken in Europe?(24)
4-Which is the second most spoken language in the world?
5-In how many ways can we say "rain" in Hawaiian.
6-Some
words in both Spanish and English mean and are pronounced the same way
so, how many Spanish words would be able an English speaker to
understand? (about 3000)

T-shirt contest (Nahia and Ekhi)
As the European day of Languages is right behind us, we, the
audiovisual culture class, have come up with the idea of drawing
different designs for this year's competition. We, Ekhi and Nahia, will
be sharing this entry. Thus, we'll explain two different designs we have
doodled together:
The first though I had once I heard the topic was to draw a European map, and then add the different elements that communicating embraces, as hearing, talking, reading, and a bunch of physical information (smilling, pouting...).
As usual in this matter, the first two colors we have been using are light green and blue; and for the facial expression illustration we have been coloring them with both black and white (which we do not need at all, because we get it by just leaving the space in blank).
Later, we discussed the topic fiercely, starting with a brainstorm and getting rid of the scarce ideas. After that, we finally got the idea clearly pictured in our minds, and Nahia worked at home on it.
It's basically a similar idea but the map would be into an open book (because one of the most, if not the most, used way of comunicating is the written one), with the page marked by a blue bookmark and with little yellow stars on it.

The importance of audio visuals
Since the beginning of the Internet, we've been using it as a way to
communicate, entertain, work and a bunch of more things. We relay on it
at least 5 hours a day (in my case the average "slightly" increases to 8
hours). Thus, i can not imagine my daily rutine without my mobile
phone.
As soon as I wake up, I check the main social medias, where I use to spend quarter an hour, if not more, and I do not get a spare of it until I leave it in my bag. I would not use them as much when child, but guess they caught me.
Concerning to school time, I find them a catchy way of working, even though is still unbeknownst to us how to take advantage of them in the most efficient way.
To sum up what I have said, I'll emphasize the fact that I would find it nearly impossible to live without a mobile device or technological gadget which worked likewise.
