OBJECTIVE

Students will be able to recognize and say the greetings in different languages.

This activity will help students to have a cognitive flexibility. They would think about multiple concepts about it, also they live in a

globalized world, so it is necessary for them to be involved in learning new languages, and while learning them in classes or by themselves the

curiosity will start and then, students will make comparisons among the greetings in all the languages they are learning. Another point will be

making friends around the world, they would interchange information about the culture and learn new different ways to say hello.
