Today at dinner ( my first night in Berlin) I met a girl that is learning 6 languages right now. She is learning Turkish and Arabic at home from her parents, and them English, Chinese, French, and German in the classroom. Next year she starts Spanish as well. Sure she goes to a private school, but that's amazing. This girl is also just in the second grade. When someone is that young it is so easy to learn more languages. I wish the US would do the same. This is why if I have kids they will not go to school in the US. They will be learning languages that will help them get ahead in life. When talking to this little girl all I could think about is all the opportunities she will have when she's older just because she knows 6 languages and maybe even more by the time she is done with school. It's so neat that someone so young can speak so many languages!
