<TBODY>My name is Sylejman Berisha and I am a mother-tongue teacher of Albanian. I work with children of all ages from elementary school to upper secondary school. We work with topics such as the history and the geography of the different cultures. I have upper secondary school pupils at Söderportskolan, Milnerskolan, Österäng och Wendes. The pupils can take 250-credit-courses. Learning a new language takes time and requires hard and careful work. You have to consider how closely is related the new language to your mother- tongue. The Albanian language is one of the oldest languages on the Balkan Peninsula belonging to the Indo-European language family. Albanian is derived from Illyrian which was spoken by the Illyrian peoples. The Illyrians lived approximately 3000 years ago in the eastern regions of the Balkan Pensinsula, from the river Sava in the north to the bay of Ambrakia in the south. Through their bilingualism the children become very important as intermediaries between people, in Sweden and people in their native country, who can speak only main language. </TBODY>
