Foreign Language Month

December is Foreign Language Month, an opportunity to learn another language and other cultures.  Learning another language can help you to speak with others who may not speak much English.  Learning a language can also help you while you speak with others in another country where English is not an official language.  Knowing another language can also help you to be selected for a job where it is good to be able to speak that language. 

Learning a language can also be good for the brain.  Here's an article on the subject from Cambridge University: How learning a new language changes your brain | Cambridge English
