July 11th, 2011 at 6:30 amElla, thanks for pointing out the critical concepts. I need to go back and re-view the videos. Agree that it’s the attitude the one has in order to embrace the language minority community. Thanks for clarifying up and helping me to “Pah – light up” in my head. Take care, Kim
