Multilingwiżmu Malti

January 29, 2021 · Adrian Grima ·

F’seklu li fih il-kelma saret aktar importanti u kultant aktar irħisa minn qatt qabel, l-użu attent, mirqum tal-lingwa sar investiment importanti. Minkejja l-geġwiġija ta’ diskors li nisimgħu u naqraw il-ħin kollu fuq it-tagħmir elettroniku tagħna, dawk li kapaċi jużaw il-lingwa b’mod effettiv u sabiħ jispikkaw.
