Title: Osage Taught at Pawhuska High School
Body: From http://www.pawhuskajournalcapital.com/articles/2009/11/04/news/news03.txt PHS new Osage Language program flourishes By BRUCE R. JACKSON November 19, 2009 The Osage Language is taught 1:35-2:20 p.m. five days per week at the Pawhuska High School by Tallee Redcorn. Fourteen highly motivated students show up daily to learn the nuances of the Wah-Zha-She language every week from Redcorn who is fluent in not only the oral tradition of the language, but also the newly developed written codification of the symbols. The program is a relatively new development and while the grammar of Osage is still a work in progress the sentences can be diagrammed and the spellings of words can be codified into western letters as well as newly invented cartouche symbols representing sounds.

Title: Italian Phonetic Alphabet Code
Body: From http://italian.about.com The Italian Phonetic Alphabet: N Come Napoli By Michael San Filippo Mention the phonetic alphabet to a native-English speaker, and the first phrase that comes to mind is: "Alpha Bravo Charlie." It stands for ABC, and is used in the military to avoid miscommunication. If it's necessary to sound out the spelling of a word in Italian, by convention certain cities (typically provincial capital cities)—or alternate terms—are most commonly used to refer to each letter of the alphabet.

Title: Article: Bilingual Kindergartens in Germany
Body: From http://www.germany.info A Head Start: Bilingual Kindergartens by Katja Hanke In most countries, children generally grow up with several languages but in Germany it is an exception. However, it has been scientifically demonstrated that bilingual children have better cognitive skills. “They can complete tasks demanding a great deal of attention better, learn to read more quickly and learn a third language more easily,” says Dr Claudia Riehl, Professor of Linguistics and Head of the Center for Language Diversity and Multilingualism at the University of Cologne.
