Chicago Now – Aimee Thompson
“…what should drive us to determine which language our children should learn to speak?…Yes, you can look at the languages spoken by the most people. Yes, you can look at the language used most within a particular industry. And, yes, of course, you can look at the language spoken by the people around you and the ones you most want to communicate and connect with via words. But, for me, it really all comes down to the language you want yourself or your children to learn and that will serve as a springboard to learn more languages to help you (or your children) excel in our increasingly globally connected world.”(more)
