On Day 7 of #12jot15 I am sharing the joy of singing a Hungarian song together with my Year 5 pupils. They will perform it at the Christmas Carol night, the theme is "Christmas around the world", where every class will represent a different country, and I am so pleased that Year 5 have chosen Hungary!
It was such an emotional experience to be in the classroom practising the song... I really understand this quote now:
"If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart" (Nelson Mandela)
Update on 26 December: You can listen to them sing here: http://youtu.be/DFlXuoiqUF4
