You can't imagine what a great experience that is. Of course, it doesn't happen overnight. Like math, English, or other subjects, language learning takes time. Stick with it. Use your second language on the job, seek out opportunities to use it in your community, or, in college, take more courses, study abroad at intercession or for a summer, a semester, or a year.
Some programs teach languages in conjunction with engineering, business, nursing, or journalism.
And you might decide to start still another language when you study Language, you learn about how to learn languages, so learning the next one is easier. There's no one answer. At Belmont University, in the Department of Literature and Language, we offer Chinese, French, German, Italian, Latin, Russian, and Spanish. Whatever language you choose, learning it will make a difference in how you see the world and in how the world sees you. Illustrations by Elisha Cooper are for this brochure only.
