Why Study Foreign Languages

Think about how many more movies you could see and the newspapers and books you could read if you learned another language!  Give yourself a competitive edge in the global job market and expand your horizons as you learn about other cultures.

"The limits of my language mean the limits of my world." Ludwig Wittgenstein
“Those who know nothing of foreign languages know nothing of their own.”
Goethe
"Internationalism does not mean the end of individual nations. Orchestras don't mean the end of violins." Golda Meir
"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeing new lands but in seeing with new eyes."    
Marcel Proust
