How much money do you spend on videogames? What happens when a country bans flights? How can languages help save nature?

The majority of the world’s languages are dissapearing, and saving both the languages and the environments are greatly linked. This is something that I have a great personal interest in, so I hope you all find it interesting too!

As usual, there is a collection of different topics for this week’s sources. All of these topics can cause great debate, so try to think for arguments that people may have on these.

Here are the articles for this week’s conversation classes. Of course, you can still use these even if you are not taking conversation classes. I look forward to hearing what you have to say. Please let me know if you have any issues accessing these.

Try to note some new or interesting language that you see or hear in the articles or video and bring it to the class.
