Write a four-paragraph essay on the topic, "Is it important to know more than one foreign language?"At least 300 words

Other arguments to
consider:

* If I speak only one language, I assume everyone
else in the world I may have contact or do business with to learn more than one, and to
learn English.  Europeans call this cultural arrogance.  Learning more than one language
makes us better world citizens.

* America is already a
multilingual place.  17 million households speak Spanish as the primary language in the
home.  Spanish is my second language (and I am not close to fluent yet) and I use it in
my work and the valley in which I live all the time.

* 
Learning a second language is difficult, especially if you are older.  But learning a
third language after that is easier, and a fourth even easier.  Learning a second
language makes you much more likely to learn a third or
fourth.

*  Learning a foreign language helps you understand
the roots of language, words, grammar, etc. and, depending on the language, can also
help you to better understand your native tongue, as there are often many similarities
in language families.
