Each week No Borders News recommends a few articles in world languages we didn’t have time to translate but wish we had, as well as noting noteworthy pieces in English. For those who speak multiple languages, we encourage you to send suggestions for Multilingual Picks of the Week to editor@nobordersnews.org. And for those of you who are learning a new language, working your way through political analysis and commentary not only gives you greater insights into international struggles, it’s a great way to build up your vocabulary! Political pieces are often heavy on words that are very similar in multiple languages, so don’t be intimidated. Pick out a language and spend an hour reading one article a week. After a few months, you’ll be amazed how much you can understand.
