Why Should We Study a New Language?
"Our world is increasingly interconnected. We interact, collaborate and exchange ideas on a global scale every day. As our economies and policies become more intertwined, our cultures are inevitably linked together too. When we learn a world language, we are able to communicate more effectively with our global partners. In turn, this allows us the opportunity to understand and participate in the cultures to which we are connected. When we learn a world language, we explore the world!"
