Imagine a country where people speak two or more languages, just like how you might know both English and Spanish. Some countries have one language because they were all from the same group of people, but others had different groups with their own languages join together over time. That’s why multilingual countries exist today.
Examples
- In Switzerland, some people speak German, French, Italian, or Romansh depending on where they live.
- A girl in Canada writes her homework in English but reads it aloud in French.
