December is National Learn A Foreign Language Month. But what does that mean?
Does it mean being able to order dessert in a restaurant? Or engage in a conversation? Or give a speech to a group of people?
ASU News talked to Danko Sikpa, a professor of Slavic languages and applied linguistics in the School of International Letters and Cultures, about the benefits of learning a second language and how to go about it.
Sipka is proficient in English, Russian, Polish, Serbo-Croatian and Macedonian, and also knows some Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, Spanish and French.
