Why foreign language & culture calendars? Calendars are a great gift that can be used throughout the year. Various kinds of calendars might be of interest to those with a love of foreign languages and cultures. Daily calendars that teach a new word or phrase each day and which often contain useful cultural information are especially appropriate for beginning language learners. Monthly wall calendars or engagement calendars with scenes of a particular country are a great way to enjoy and appreciate the sights and traditions of other cultures throughout the year.
