Be Multilingual! No More Excuses (Language Club)

You should be tired of your own excuses about not learning a new language.
 

"I'm too old". 

"They speak too quickly". 

"Everyone in the world speaks English". 

I wish there was a way to translate your excuses because they make just as much sense as whispering does to a person with headphones on. 

If you need some motivation, here are a few reasons why you should learn a new language:

* 80% of Americans speak only one language
According to the NY Times, about 4 out of 5 Americans only speak one language. While some would argue that English is the official language of the United States, it is still important to know other languages for personal and professional advancement. 

*Foreign language keeps the mind sharp
Studies have shown that learning a foreign language delays dementia. 

* Foreign languages can open the door for new experiences and save one money
If a person is traveling abroad, the knowledge of foreign languages can help them meet new people, save money, and explore more places.
