"There is a fallacy in this country that we don't have to learn other languages
because everyone else is learning English,
and that view profoundly misunderstands the value of foreign language learning...
In today's world we must be able to understand
other people, their countries, their cultures, and their aspirations. 
And we do that through langauges. 
If we cannot communicate with poeple in their own language,
our understanding of them will always be limited. 
We are, in many ways, blind to what is really going on in other countries
where we cannot communicate in their own language." 
(Richard W. Riley, former U.S. Secretary of Education)
