I am looking for a program &/or resources that help teach #Somali to our children.

Like lots of 2nd gen ppl the #language our parents spoke is now firmly my 2nd language. I'm interested in ideas that promote #multilingualism, feel free to share & tag others. #online #clubs

@Poetic_Nomad @SomaliKids @thesailorsgirl @MohammedAArtan @numbiarts @AliAbdi_ @SamOfSomalia @HannaAli @Rooble2009 @Gulaid1 @robjama I sometimes feel that passing on a #language is harder for us 2nd & 3rd gen ppl. Although we were born & raised outside 'wadankii', the dynamics are different for our youth now. Interested to know what the educators think?

Thank Q #SomaliTwitter, I learned a lot about this today through conversations both on & offline. There is a lot of talent in our community, enough to design solutions to this & other challenges. My parents came to UK in the 60's, I grew up in the 80/90's. @WaaberiPhone 1/2

The landscape today is totally different. What cannot be denied is 2nd, 3rd & 4th gen kids largely adopt
the 'host' #language. We need to think out of the box, collaborate & up confidence. Looking 4wad to the resources you all suggested, waad mahadsantihin! @AbiraHussein 2/2

An interesting discussion between @SamOfSomalia and @ShahinRahmanUK talking about passing on languages more broadly. Different approaches, similar goals .. #Somali #Bangla

Thank Q @AzizFaarah, excellent summary of words for family members in #Somali. I'm sharing again, a great resource! #AfSoomaali #Reer #Qoys

An absolutely fascinating session today led by @MohammedAArtan. Thanks for shining a light on the history of the #Somali ppl, their culture, history & #roots of our language. Thank Q @AbiraHussein for hosting! #dhaqan #luqad #Af
