Dear Yuliya:

I missed the show, but I know that On Point (on VPR) devoted an hour yesterday to the importance of foreign language education:"

I hope this helps.

Subject: [SEELANGS] our High School Russian program is in danger of being cut - need suggestions and ideas

Dear all,

I have to defend my small but productive Russian program (see below) to the school board this Thursday. I have a list of reasons as to why learning Russian is a great thing to do (not sure if this is the place to post it for those who'd willing to help to review), but am looking for more ideas...
Thank you!
