Have you ever thought about learning a new language? How about Portuguese? The Impact of Second Language Education study shows the benefits of learning a second language are much broader than simply the ability to speak in another language. It affirms the importance of second language education on intellectual potential, scholastic achievement, first language skills, citizenship and the economy. Read more about the study here.
