The new project starts as part of the Year of Native Languages ​​and National Unity. “This is the beginning of a lot of work, which we have identified as a priority,” said  Mayor. – I hope that all this will serve to preserve the native languages, including the Tatar language. We will set a good example for our children and youth and will do our best so that the languages ​​of all peoples of multinational Tatarstan not only survive, but also develop. ”

Thanks to the videos, the townspeople will be able to learn simple phrases in the Tatar language, in particular, they will learn new addresses, turns of speech. All videos are focused on the initial level of the Tatar language and will be of interest to both children and adults, the authors of the project assure.

The main goal of the videos is to present the Tatar language in an interesting, engaging format for the townspeople and guests of the city, explains one of the organizers of the project, the author of modern textbooks of the Tatar language “Sulam” Rashat Yakupov. “The main idea is for fellow citizens who do not know the Tatar language to be able to see its interesting aspects,” he adds.
