President Barack Obama, July 2008 : “We should be emphasizing foreign languages in our schools from an early age. We should have every child speaking more than one language."

Education plays a role in fostering individuals' understanding of various languages and cultures in the world; not only understanding them, but appreciating and honoring them for their unique qualities and contributions to our global community.
Education plays a role in nurturing individuals' skills and values to work and to live cooperatively with a sense of mutual interest and respect for others in our community, nation and world.
Given that the world grows smaller and the need for greater collaboration among economies and nations increases, our efforts to add to our world language offerings and to increase students' understanding and respect for other cultures are vital.

Learn a new language and get a new soul. ~ Czech Proverb

He who does not know foreign languages does not know anything about his own.

Wolfgang von Goethe
