Learning A New Language

Around the world, there are 6,000 different languages that people talk in. Things we say in English, for instance, sound different in Spanish...

Every year, more young Americans are learning a foreign language. Knowing a second language lets you talk with people in other countries.

Whether you go there, or just trade letters or e-mail. You can talk to visitors and newcomers in this country who don't speak English.

But some kids have a sneakier reason to speak a second language, it's a great way to keep secrets from kids or parents who don't speak that language.
