According
with the Linguistic Society of America (LSA) “In some countries, nearly
everybody is bilingual or multilingual. In parts of
India, for example, a
small child usually knows several languages. In many European countries,
children are encouraged to learn a second language - typically English. In
fact, the U.S. is quite unusual among the countries of the world in that many
of its citizens speak only English, and they are rarely encouraged to become
fluent in any other language.”
“..for people of any age or profession, knowing a second language encourages
cross-cultural awareness and understanding.” (LSA)
"The limits of my language are the limits of my universe". Ludwig
Wittgenstein
Learning Spanish will transform and
expand the horizons of your own personal universe.
