I'm Sam. And I'm Rob. In this programme, we'll be hearing about an issue experienced by many child refugees who are forced to leave their home, the loss遗失 of their first native language, or mother tongue, as they start a new life learning to speak a new language in a new country. Julie Tadevi and her family left their home in what was then Czechoslovakia and is now the Czech Republic during the Cold War when Julie was a small child.
After several years travelling through Europe, they arrived in Canada as political refugees with no English. We'll be hearing about Julie's childhood when Learning English started to replace her native language Czech. And as usual, we'll be learning some new vocabulary as well. But first, I have a question, Rob. Julie's family left their home as political refugees, but every year millions of people are also displaced because of war, persecution迫害, or the damaging effects of climate气候 change. So, according to the United Nations, how many people around the world are currently当前 living as displaced refugees?
