It has already become the tradition that in middle of April in Petropavlovsk, under aegis of Regional management of development of languages, passes city competition "Ush bakytym". Competition - on knowledge of the Kazakh and native languages. All branches of Petropavlovsk School of National Revival have taken part in this year in it. Including the Jewish cultural centre.

Children prepared beforehand: learned verses, proverb in Kazakh language and Hebrew. The Jewish branch adequately was presented by Semen Guretsky. Though he has appeared the younger participant of competition, but acted perfectly, with feeling in his voice having read on the Kazakh language poem by Iskakov "Otan" ("Motherland"), and in Hebrew "Golden Jerusalem". And more Semen simply has struck jury by knowledge of proverbs and sayings. The judges unanimously have accepted the decision to bring in his name to number of the best, having awarded with the letter and magnificent gift. Mazal Tov!

It is wonderful, that our children with such persistence and large desire aspire as much more and better as possible to know language of the state, thus, not forgetting and about the native language - language of the ancestors.
