In this day and age, especially in this melting pot we call the United States, you can hardly walk down the street without hearing people speaking in different languages. I was at the grocery store the other day and a family was in front of me in the checkout line, and they were just jib-jabbering away, a mile a minute, in what language I don't know. But when it came time to pay, the matriarch of the group spoke better English to the cashier than I could. It was quite apparent that these people were fairly well educated, at least thats the impression I was left with. When you have the ability to speak more than one language, you certainly have the edge, in a way. Nowadays, if you are multi-lingual, you are highly sought after by many employers. International trade and doing business with a variety of different countries is everyday procedure anymore, and being able to communicate is a necessity. Its funny that most foreigners you run into always speak thier native toungue, definitely English, and then perhaps even a third language, like Spanish. As Americans, most of us only speak English, but it has become increasingly more popular to learn a second language these days, in fact it has become "Trendy". Learning a second language has never been easier. With the resources available today, you can learn just about any language you want, and have a grasp on it after just a few weeks of study. I have listed some of these Language Courses on the sidebar. Check it out.
