“Language is what our life on earth begins with. It helps us understand who we are and why we are here. Each of us listened to fairy tales and lullabies in the folk language in childhood. From an early age, we are imbued with love for our native language, and today our teachers continue to share their knowledge of their language, which they have been improving over the years,”  Deputy Minister Artem Zhuravel said.
