2.b

V klasičnem 2.B smo pri latinščini z dijaki obravnavali antično Emono: umestili smo jo v kontekst sodobne Ljubljane, jo povezali s prizadevanji arhitekta Jožeta Plečnika in se ob tem dotaknili tudi vprašanja tradicije, ki se nadaljuje in živi v sedanjosti. Dijaki so tudi obiskali stara emonska najdišča in jih oživeli v sodobnih in priljubljenih selfijih.

Languages and personality

Languages have always played a vital role in my life. As a child I was exposed to many cultures since I attended an international kindergarten in Vienna. In a manner of speaking, I was forced to learn German otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to communicate and fit in with the other kids. I admit it was a struggle at the beginning but I got through it with the help of my parents. At one point I was actually better at German than my parents.

After four years of living in Vienna it was time to return to Slovenia and adapt to my mother tongue once again. Since I spoke Slovenian with my parents at home it didn't make such a big difference, however, I still felt like I couldn't express myself properly, meaning that phrases I wanted to use in German wouldn’t have the same meaning in Slovenian or just made no sense at all.

After five years in Slovenia it was time to move countries again, this time to Belgium. My English had always been somewhat OK since I had always been in touch with it almost every day at school or on the Internet. In Belgium I grew accustomed to speaking English every day as well as hearing French and Flemish in stores and public places. The thing is that French was never really forced upon me. I could live and do everything I needed to do with just English. It reached a point where I started thinking and dreaming in English.

This tendency slowly became so routine that it caused me to forget my mother tongue little by little. I knew that after another four years I would have to re-adapt to using

10

Slovene so I took some courses to revise Slovene grammar. Again it felt as if I couldn’t express myself and couldn’t find all the words I needed. For me, languages are a very important means of expressing yourself and can also change your personality to a certain degree. It is intriguing to think about the fact that you can sort of switch personalities when speaking another language. When you have created good memories in a specific linguistic environment, it is nice to think about and relive those memories by speaking that specific language.
