In my household, the main language is of course, American (no, not English, we live in America and our version of English is different than the English spoken in England, thank you) but my stepmother is German so my half siblings are bilingual. I took Spanish for 4 years and now learning German. In most high schools (like mine), the languages offered are Spanish, French, and Latin. I wish there were more like Italian, German, Chinese and Japanese. I know it takes money to do that and to hire new teachers, but I think it would greater the diversity and help our school systems by being more likeable. Offering languages as early as elementary level greatly helps kids learn more. A new language brings them to a new level of intelligence that no amount of math or science can do. It widens their perspective of the world and creates a more thoughtful process in life.
