WHAT is IC?
Intercomprehension is:
- An idea for communication between people who recognize that linguistic and cultural diversity is a value and not an obstacle;
- An alternative method for the simultaneous study of different languages;
- A way for a person to speak his/her own language with people who speak a different language, and still be able to communicate;
- Keep in mind that the use of Romance languages (Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese) facilitates understanding, as these languages belong to the same linguistic family
WHY USE IC?
-Because it is easier to communicate when you express yourself in your own language, rather than in a second language
-Because, often, individuals would rather not speak at all than speak in public in a second language
WHERE TO USE IC?
