Unlocking the Magic of Language: Discovering Indo-European Connections with Le Frehindi

Have you ever felt a sense of déjà vu when hearing a word in a different language? It’s as if that word has traveled across time and space, carrying with it a familiar sound and meaning. At Le Frehindi, we turn these fascinating linguistic connections into a journey of discovery! Our workshops bring to life the magic of words that look and sound similar across Indo-European languages, sparking curiosity and excitement among students and teachers alike.

Starting with the Words We Know

Mother – A Word That Feels Like Home

English: Mother
Spanish: Madre
French: Mère
German: Mutter
Italian: Madre
Portuguese: Mãe
Russian: Мать (Mat’)
Dutch: Moeder
Swedish: Mor
Greek: Μητέρα (Mitéra)
Hindi: माँ (Maa)

Across these languages, “mother” is more than just a word – it’s a connection that feels like home.

Friend – A Word That Brings People Together

English: Friend
Spanish: Amigo
French: Ami
German: Freund
Italian: Amico
Portuguese: Amigo
Russian: Друг (Drug)
Dutch: Vriend
Swedish: Vän
Greek: Φίλος (Fílos)
Hindi: मित्र (Mitra)

Wherever you go, “friend” carries a warm and familiar sound, like an open invitation to connect.

Look up, and you’ll see stars that speak to everyone in their own language, but always with a similar twinkle.

These are just starting points. Our workshops begin with these familiar connections, but they don’t stop there. We take learning far beyond these words, transforming the entire experience into something much more dynamic, engaging, and multi-dimensional.

A World of Activities Beyond Words

At Le Frehindi, we believe language is not just about vocabulary; it’s about expression, culture, emotion, and real-world application. Our workshops are designed to cover all these aspects and more, creating a vibrant environment where every student becomes an active participant in their own learning journey.

Interactive and Multi-Sensory Learning

We know that the best learning happens when all senses are engaged. That’s why our workshops incorporate a wide range of activities that appeal to different learning styles. Students might find themselves exploring language through music and rhythm, using their hands to create visual art projects related to cultural themes, or even preparing simple dishes from different countries to learn about food vocabulary in a fun, delicious way!

Building Communication Skills Through Real-Life Scenarios

Language is all about communication, and our workshops create countless opportunities for students to practice in real-life scenarios. They might role-play as travelers navigating a bustling foreign market, negotiating prices and asking for directions. Or they might imagine themselves at an international youth camp, introducing themselves and making new friends from around the world. These exercises are not only fun and engaging but also give students the confidence to use their language skills in practical situations.

Creative Storytelling and Expression

Storytelling is at the heart of human connection, and we use it extensively in our workshops. Students are encouraged to craft their own stories using words they’ve learned, drawing on their imagination to create tales that might feature characters from different cultures, or adventures that take place across continents. This helps them develop a deeper understanding of both the language and the cultures it represents, making the learning experience richer and more memorable.

Collaborative Learning Through Team Challenges

We believe that learning is more powerful when it happens together. That’s why our workshops are designed to foster collaboration and teamwork. Students participate in group challenges that might involve solving puzzles, creating skits, or completing quests that require them to use their language skills creatively and cooperatively. These activities build camaraderie, enhance communication skills, and teach students the value of working together towards a common goal.

Exploring Culture Through Fun Facts and Curiosities

Language cannot be separated from culture, and our workshops are filled with fascinating cultural nuggets that make the words come alive. Students learn not just what a word means, but why it matters. They might discover why the word for “star” (Estrella, Étoile, Stella) appears in so many folktales, or how the word for “bread” (Pain, Pan, Brot) is central to daily life and traditions in various cultures. These insights help students appreciate the richness of the languages they are learning, going beyond words to explore traditions, history, and social practices.

Combining Physical Movement with Language Learning

Learning doesn’t have to happen while sitting at a desk. Our workshops are designed to get students moving! Whether they’re engaging in a lively dance to learn action verbs, or playing games that require them to run, jump, or navigate an obstacle course while following instructions in a new language, they’re actively using their bodies to reinforce what they’re learning. This multi-sensory approach ensures that language learning is both memorable and fun.

Creating Lasting Memories Through Unique Experiences

At Le Frehindi, we don’t just teach languages; we create experiences that students will remember for years to come. By blending traditional learning with creative, interactive activities, we provide a holistic language experience that goes far beyond the classroom. Students don’t just learn words; they use them, play with them, and experience them in a way that makes learning feel natural and enjoyable.
