Here I have collected a series of photographs “stolen” during the word collection activities for the DiM dictionary. For several afternoons in the school of Quindici (Avellino), the teachers and the students worked on the construction of the dictionary. It was a matter of recording the pronunciation of a word as it is translated into their mother tongue, of building a digital archive, appropriately classifying and naming all the files containing the data collected. The students responded with interest to the activities, proud to show the qualities and characteristics of their language, happy with the interest in the culture of their country of origin.
