More Languages!!!
Maria Luísa F
I'm from Brazil, a country with a problem in education equity, and while i am fluent in English, a lot of people that could really benefit from free tutoring are not. This way, I think it would be really cool and important to add more languages to Schoolhouse, possibly making Subworlds for subjects in different languages, like "Algebra I - Portuguese". I know this isn't an easy implementation, and that it requires new mod teams and everything, but i really hope this could happen in the future.

Yeah I think that it would help alot of ppl
Thanks for suggesting
And if the Portuguese thing works fabulously, they can always do Spanish and then next we decide, either Arabic, Hindi or smth else

I agree with Jack R - I feel like the "More Languages!!!" post is different from the previous ones that it merged with. The previous posts are advocating for a separate subworld for learning languages/offering live help for languages, while the most recent one is advocating for accessibility and offering Schoolhouse in more languages. Both ideas are really good - I just don't want them to be simplified and merged together, as they are very different ideas.

Could the suggestions for more lanaguages please be seperated from the suggestions for a language Subworld since they are technically different?

Spanish/Foreign Language Subworld

Muchas personas en el mundo hablan español, and I think that it would be a great idea to introduce a separate subworld for it - or foreign languages in general, if it helps! Currently, there is no area to ask or discuss these topics, and I would strongly advocate for this to change. :)

Hey Maria Luísa, thanks for sharing this. Segmenting out each subject based on language would be a massive undertaking, which is why we've decided to start with focusing on supporting English. To your point though, we are a global community and while sessions should be in English, if you and all of the learners in your session prefer to use a different language then you're more than welcome to switch to that language (check out this help article for support: https://schoolhouse.world/faq/en/article/what-language-can-i-take-sessions-in-8zfa24/).
Hopefully in the future we can better support different languages across subworlds!

Foreign Language Subworld

I believe that having a foreign language subworld would provide a wonderful space for various schoolhouse tutors to share their knowledge in a fun and mutually beneficial environment. For example, there are various AP foreign language courses such as AP French, AP Japanese, AP Chinese, AP Italian, AP Latin, AP Spanish (Lang and Lit), etc. that are offered globally/in the U.S. In addition, for students who do take French, Spanish, ASL, etc., at their school, tutoring would be offered from a specific and well-qualified community on schoolhouse. Qualifications may be evaluated through certifications in addition to tutor request approvals (ex: submitting world language transcripts, grades, and course history || AP world language course history). Other tutors have suggested similar ideas for foreign language certifications.
