Si los estudiantes de las Escuelas Europeas no son capaces, primero, de desarrollar su identidad nacional a través del uso de su lengua materna y cultura, pienso que no tendrán una buena base para crear su identidad europea.
If students studying in European Schools are not able first to develop their national identity through the use of their mother tongue and culture, I believe that they will not have a strong basis to build their European identity.
