This is an article from New York Times. It is an article talking about how schools all over the country are cutting foreign language classes this school year because of budget cuts.
Learning foreign language is a very important thing in today's world. With hundreds of language spoken worldwide, its a great asset for a person to be able to speak different languages and communicate with people around the world. Especially now since the business worlds are crossing into business of foreign countries. I speak two languages fluently, Chinese and English. I also speak a little bit of Spanish, its not too great though. I can see these skills helping me out a lot in my future when I travel the world or need to have a meeting with foreign businessmen. I think they should make foreign language just as important in school as any other major subject.
I speak Greek and English fluently, and I'm taking Armenian as my foreign language in school. I'm not too great at it, but l want to learn it because it is part of my culture and the more I learn, the more it will help me in the future.
ReplyDeleteI agree! I think students should learn other languages.
