Meet Sophie and Salahuddin. They鈥檙e both bilingual 鈥 they speak English, but Sophie also speaks Mandarin, and Salahuddin speaks Arabic. In these three editions of 'Welcome to My World', we鈥檒l spend time with Sophie and Salahuddin and their families. We鈥檒l find out what it鈥檚 like to live in two cultures at once, and we鈥檒l learn a few words in Mandarin and Arabic. 1. We visit Sophie at home, and learn about her love of trampolining and smoothies! She teaches us a few of her favourite Mandarin words, and invites us to dinner in a Chinese restaurant with her family. 2. Salahuddin introduces us to his family and we learn how they switch from Arabic to English with ease. Salahuddin has a very busy week dashing from one activity to the next, going to school and music club, and even attending a school on Saturday. 3. As we鈥檝e heard, Sophie loves jumping on her trampoline and using her circus skills, so she鈥檚 very excited to visit the Chinese State Circus in Aberdeen. Speaking Mandarin comes in very handy when she interviews one of the performers after the show.
