Title: Article about Irish Playgroup in London

How children in London are learning the Irish language through play
A playgroup is helping parents introduce Irish language to youngsters in a fun way
by Patrick Kelleher
June 19, 2018
Raising your child to be fluent in the Irish language isn’t an easy feat for most parents, let alone those living in London. However, the London Irish Playgroup aims to make that goal easier, with a regular opportunity for parents to get their children speaking the language.
This is thanks to James McDonald, who set up the playgroup in January 2017.
Originally from Gorey, Co Wexford, James has been living in London since 2005. He learned how to speak Irish as an adult by spending time in the Gaeltacht and doing some study in his own time.
...The group has now been in existence for over a year and is going from strength to strength. Some parents attend every month, and some are more occasional visitors. They also have new people coming all the time.
“The research into raising your kids bilingually is well accepted – there are many benefits,” says James. “Learning Irish is likely to make my son not only better at learning other languages, but it’s going to help him get better at English. It’s going to give him a deeper understanding of grammar and language and it’s going to improve his spelling, too.”

The Talking Statues of Rome
Since the 16th century, anonymous authors have been posting provocative political messages on or near these Roman statues.
by Allison Meier
June 18, 2018
In sixteenth-century Rome, an excavated third-century BCE Hellenistic statue began to “speak.” The statue, nicknamed Pasquino, openly mocked the oppressive papal government from his prominent intersection near the busy Piazza Navona. He was later joined by the half-man/half-goat Babuino, the barrel-carrying Il Facchino, the colossal Roman lady Madama Lucrezia, the toga-wearing Abbot Luigi, and the lounging river god Marforio. Known as the Congregation of Wits, the statues acted as places for public dialogue, when anonymous authors pasted short Latin verses satirizing the pope and other authority figures onto or beside their forms.
...The statues have kept talking. Indeed, in 2011, declarations like “Italy is not a brothel” and “The body of Italy is not for sale” manifested at Pasquino in response to the sex scandals around then Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. Recent clean-up efforts removed the graffiti behind Babuino and relegated the messages at Pasquino to an adjacent board. But, as Gilbert writes, during the restoration when the statue of Pasquino was wrapped up, “there appeared one day the following pasquinade: ‘Potete pure fasciarlo ma Pasquino non stara mai zitto’ (You can wrap Pasquino well but he will never shut up).”
