The Collegiate Times – Marcus Lewis
Bilingualism, the ability to speak more than one language, is a trait shared by between 60% and 75% of all people in the world. In the United States, however, this number is far fewer, with only around 20% of Americans knowing a foreign language, according to the Center for Immigration studies. There are a multitude of benefits to speaking at least one foreign language, and more students should take advantage of the language classes offered at Virginia Tech.
