I just started my second year of living and working in Japan. I came here in March, 2007, without knowing any Japanese. It has been an interesting journey of classes and learning, and I really should be studying harder to get the language down.
I am a student at what is considered (by us at least) to be one of the best prep schools in the state. We have the third highest average SAT score in the state of Massachusetts and typically send anywhere from four to six students of our graduating class of 60 to Harvard.
Consider language.
I've been reading a lot about how every American should learn a foreign language and about the English/Spanish national language debate. English is the only national language. Our Founding Fathers spoke English. They wrote the laws in English. Our country's language is none other than ENGLISH. Period.
