UPDATE 30th of March 23:
I have placed a message about what we have done with the postcards.
UPDATE:
We have received so many beautiful and educational cards! Thank you so much everyone who took the time and effort to send us a card. I have removed our address in the message below. I will place one more update if all of our groups have worked with our cards.
Greetings Sabrine
Hello fellow postcrossers!
My name is Sabrine en my colleagues and I teach (gifted) children aged 6 to 12 in Zaandam, the Netherlands.
We will start our language project in January. Itās called: āLanguage is really our cup of teaā. Among other things, we are talking about proverbs and sayings.
When we introduced the topic, many children asked if they were going to learn another language. But why limit ourselfs to one language? The Dutch are known for speaking many languages, look at Louis van Gaal
Our request is: who wants to send us a card with a proverb or saying from the country where you live? Please first in the āoriginalā language, then literally translated into English and the meaning of the proverb or saying.
We want to collect all cards on our large map and marvel at the richness of language all over the world.
Who wants to help us by sending us a card? It would be so appreciated!
We would love to hear from you!
Happy postcrossing!
What kind of postcards would them like?
Do you prefer proverbs that are interesting to children?
Can I write one proverb on each postcard and send several postcards together in an envelope?
I am wondering which proverb to introduce and would be glad to get your advice
Of course can you ask a question. Iām so happy to see that there people on the world who take the time and effort to send us a postcard!
Are there proverbs that are really common in your country? A proverb everybody knows? Or a proverb with an animal in it? Dutch really like animals in there proverbs, there are many of them.
And on your question what kind of postcard, something touristic? A map of your country or village? We like all kinds of cards, as long they are suitable for childern
