63 Languages at Malden High School: Rachel Odillia Speaks Swahili

Malden is an incredibly diverse community, and there’s no greater display of that multiculturalism than the student body at Malden High School. Students at the school speak more than 63 different languages, reflecting their families' journeys from around the globe.

The "63 Languages” project will introduce viewers to bilingual Malden High School students. The students will tell you a little about themselves, what languages they can speak, where that language is spoken, and a key phrase or two you could use if you’re ever in their home countries.
