I travel the world as part of my job. With out exception, citizens of every other country I travel to speak at least 2 languages, their own and either Englis, most, or the language of their neighbor. It is only Americans that cannot speak multiple languages and even expect others to accommodate us.
In Scandinavia, children start their first foreign language at 4 and their second at 7. Can't we just teach one at 10 or 11.
Yes, Most Definitely
