Focus words UNDERSTANDING 1 Explain the words Read the text: Icelandic is my mother tongue, but I learn other languages in school. I have a friend who is bilingual. Her mother is from Poland, so they speak both Icelandic and Polish at home. When we grow up we will need to communicate with people who don’t speak our language. If you can’t understand a language, for example when you travel abroad, you need an interpreter who can translate for you. a) The focus words are marked in the text. Work with a partner and explain the meaning of these focus words to each other. If you get stuck, try to explain the meaning of the words in Icelandic first. b) Write a short explanation in English for each word.
