Thank you.
It's an important question indeed. As I said earlier, you can't learn a language without the cultural content. It's simply impossible. Down in the classroom, the language teacher has to use the cultural content to convey the language and also to maintain the students' motivation. I fundamentally agree with you that the cultural aspect is important.
But at the same time, what we have is a situation, particularly among minority language communities, where that cultural content may become eroded as a result of contact with the other group, and that requires measures—cultural measures, if you will—that will counterbalance that situation.
That has been the reality that all minority language communities have been facing for years and years, not in an antagonistic manner, but really in a protective manner. One would hope that as a result of protecting that culture in a minority situation, those people will be able to go towards the other culture in a more assured manner and have links—positive links, harmonious links—with the majority groups.
