I see languages, multilingual learners.

1:29:25

What are the languages?

1:29:26

I don't know if my colleagues already asked that question, and I'm sorry that I'm late because this traffic was bad for me.

1:29:31

So the language what are the languages you're offering?

Angela Faloye

1:29:47

So in terms of the languages, what we strive to do is understand the needs of the students and provide the appropriate services.

1:29:58

In terms of data, that's something that we can get to you.

1:30:01

I don't have that information right now.

1:30:04

But, again, what we do do is assess the needs of students, we provide that information in our databases for principles to understand the need and who to hire.

1:30:14

And based on the need of the students, we provide the services.

1:30:18
