Mind your language


















Tuesday began with an English lesson. With the World Cup and the Olympic Games on their way to Rio de Janeiro in the next few years more and more children are leaning English at school. We learnt the words for the colours Joel has been using on the murals and some of the objects that feature in them.


















When Joel came to the City of God for three months last year he spent his time teaching English at a local arts association so all this was second nature. However, it wasn´t so straightforward for the young people who had to cope not just with the differences between a British and an American accent but even several different ways of spelling words.
