Interesting. Some of the kids at school think they're not in English anyway ....

This is great news. It is nice to see other cultures enjoy the work of Shakespeare in thier native language.

Wow Shakespeare in all of those languages. The school where my children go, is multicultural and they have so many different languages that attend the school, my child is always coming home with a different word, I think language is a wonderful thing and we all should be encouraged to learn a little more.
