What an amazing voice

I always love Rooq programs but this subject about Mother Language sits in my heart. I have worked as a Mother language teacher in Sweden about 25 years. I am so proud of this country which validates Farsi or any other language as Swedish. They invests in language because it helps children to learn Swedish. I am so proud of my students who continued to learn Farsi in 12 years, starting school until last year in high school. Good luck with your fine programs🙏😍
