Russia is a multinational country. In it, besides Russians, Chuvashs, Tatars, Bashkirs, etc. live. The task of representatives of each nationality is to preserve their native language.
Traditions and customs of peoples
The native language lives in the culture of every nation. Traditions, customs, literature, art and the history of a single nation are passed down from generation to generation from father to son through language. One of the most important moments in the activity to preserve it is to study the history and culture of its people, read native literature in the original, visit national museums, theaters, libraries, etc. Quite interesting and original are national performances, ballet and other stage work. However, if the purpose of their visit is to instill a love of native speech, then it is better not to use headphones with translation.
From generation to generation
An equally important point in preserving the native language is the transfer of knowledge and valuable experience to the younger generation. The very first teachers in a child’s life are his parents. It is that speech that is constantly heard in the family circle that is best remembered by a child. Years later, even after living a long time in a foreign country and returning, this language will be easiest to remember. Therefore, it is very important for national families to speak their native language at home. This, incidentally, is urgently required by some grandparents when grandchildren come to them on vacation in the village. Adults are very indignant at the fact that the younger generation does not know their native language well.
Native language at school
In a number of regional schools, lessons have long been introduced aimed at learning the national language. Hours, of course, are relatively few, but if the teacher is a professional in his field and is fluent in both Russian and the native language for the overwhelming majority of residents of a certain region, then this will give its result. It is important to present the material interestingly. For example, for younger students in the lessons of their native language, the teacher reads out small, but interesting tales in their native language, and a joint study of the national costume is conducted. Very often at such lessons memorize poems of famous national poets in their native language. Also, students on the instructions of the teacher and under his strict guidance can occasionally cook simple national dishes.
