 U.S. vs. Europe on Foreign Language Study
  July 16, 2015

The United States has no national policy on foreign language study in
elementary and secondary education, let alone in higher education. A new
study
<http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/07/13/learning-a-foreign-language-a-must-in-europe-not-so-in-america/>
by the Pew Research Center shows just how different European nations are in
this respect -- just about all require children going through schools to
learn one foreign language, while more than 20 require students to learn
two foreign languages.
