Heritage language programs

Heritage language programs are educational initiatives designed to help individuals maintain and develop their ancestral language skills. These programs often target people who grew up speaking a particular language at home but might not be fully proficient or fluent. They aim to strengthen language abilities, preserve cultural identity, and connect learners to their heritage and community. Typically offered through schools, community centers, or cultural organizations, these programs include speaking, listening, reading, and writing activities, fostering pride and continuity of linguistic and cultural traditions.
