Multilingual Stars and Our Students: Learning Languages for Life

In the worlds of entertainment, business, and sports, there’s a skill that shines just as brightly as any award or trophy: multilingualism.

From Hollywood actors to world-class athletes, many public figures impress not only with their talent but also with their ability to communicate across cultures and languages. At ITSW, we see this same potential in our students — beginning from their very first years of education. And it’s not just a matter of inspiration — science confirms that early language learning leads to lifelong benefits.

Celebrity and Athlete Multilinguals Who Inspire

Mila Kunis — Born in Ukraine, Mila grew up speaking Russian and English. Her bilingualism has given her confidence and cultural depth in both her career and personal life.

Salma Hayek — Fluent in Spanish, English, and conversational French and Arabic, Salma’s multilingual skills have enabled her to shine in international films and global campaigns.

Rami Malek — The Oscar-winning actor of Bohemian Rhapsody grew up speaking Arabic at home. His bilingualism has broadened his artistic range and cultural awareness.

Gemma Chan — Fluent in English and Cantonese, Gemma embodies the power of languages to bring authenticity to her roles and voice multicultural perspectives.

Cristiano Ronaldo — Beyond his football genius, Cristiano is fluent in Portuguese, Spanish, and English, and has learned Italian while playing for Juventus. His ability to communicate with teammates, coaches, and fans worldwide is part of what makes him a truly global icon.

José Mourinho — The world-renowned football manager speaks Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, English, and French. His legendary coaching career shows how communication skills in multiple languages can unite diverse teams and inspire players across continents.

Zlatan Ibrahimović — The Swedish football star speaks Swedish, Bosnian, English, Italian, Spanish, and some French. His mastery of languages has helped him adapt to different leagues, connect with international fans, and lead confidently on and off the field.

Why Communication Skills Matter in a Globalized World

For actors, business leaders, and athletes alike, language is more than words — it’s the foundation of communication, connection, and leadership. Whether it’s giving interviews, leading teams, or performing in another culture, multilingualism provides the tools to thrive in a globalized, interconnected world.

📌 Did you know? Studies show that multilingual individuals are more creative, flexible, and better at problem-solving. They are also more empathetic and culturally aware.

Many of these stars learned languages through necessity and effort later in life. But what if your child could start earlier — when it’s easier, more natural, and deeply intuitive?

The Power of Early Language Learning

At ITSW, we know that the earlier a child begins learning languages, the greater the benefits. Neuroscience confirms that early childhood is the golden window for language acquisition.

When children start young, languages don’t feel like “learning” — they become part of everyday life, absorbed effortlessly through play, songs, stories, and meaningful interaction.

Benefits of Early Multilingual Education

✔ Develop native-like pronunciation and natural fluency 🗣️
✔ Strengthen cognitive flexibility, memory, and problem-solving 🧠
✔ Build confidence in communication and social skills 🤝
✔ Gain a lifelong appreciation for cultural diversity 🌎
✔ Excel academically and personally — research shows bilingual kids outperform peers in many cognitive tasks.

That’s why by the end of preschool at ITSW, our students are already reading and writing in three languages. This isn’t just an academic milestone — it’s a lifelong foundation for the kind of communication skills that help leaders, athletes, and artists succeed on a global stage.

Language Immersion in Practice at ITSW

We don’t teach languages through isolated lessons. Instead, children experience **language immersion** — learning through real-life interactions with native speakers in English, French, Spanish, and other languages.

From singing a song in French during music class to discussing science topics in English or enjoying a Japanese story, children are exposed to languages in diverse, engaging contexts.

What Makes Our Multilingual Program Unique?

• Native-speaking teachers across all levels
• Language rotation in daily classroom activities
• Thematic projects in multiple languages
• Emotional and social learning supported in all languages
• Multicultural celebrations and international storytelling weeks

From ITSW Classrooms to the Global Stage

Just like Cristiano Ronaldo, José Mourinho, or Salma Hayek, our students are learning that languages open doors, build bridges, and create opportunities.

Some of the stars we admire had to work hard to learn languages later in life. But our children have the unique advantage of starting young — where multilingualism feels seamless, natural, and joyful.

🌟 Every day in our classrooms, our children are laying the groundwork for a future where the world truly belongs to them.

Lights, camera, action — our students are ready to shine! 🎬
