I am the one to thank you for the invite. A wonderfully organised event, bravo to @languages_ie and full @langsconnect_ie team, and @PPLI_Nellie. I don't think I've ever seen 3000 students all in one place having such a great time before, fills me with pure joy. Well done again https://twitter.com/langsconnect_ie/status/1202897952534126594
Italian spoken being interpreted into English thanks to @eurireland interpreters and in ISL. Thanks @salvocacciato
Students will experience what it is like to take part in a conference and rely on interpreters (a job anyone has thought about?). #Erasmus has certainly contributed to creating a sense of belonging to Europe @salvocacciato @ftaire @atsirlanda @germanteachers @OVFLanguages @jctMFL
Proud,happy & grateful that #italian was chosen as the language for simultaneous interpretation #ThinkLanguages 2019.Excited that I'll be interviewed on how #Erasmus impacted my life both as a student first, a teacher later on @langsconnect_ie @ATI_Ireland @jctMFL @IICDublino https://twitter.com/langsconnect_ie/status/1199704763551617025
