The World Has Changed: Foreign Languages Make a Huge Difference
Is the title of the article in the Huff Post World online newspaper. It presents the perspective that because English is a global language is those who are monolingual really need to know another language– great concept and so true as I sat today in a meeting at work and I am 1 of 2 bilinguals in a group of 15 people and we are an international company.

There is also a great discussion at the end of the article that you can click on. The discussion board is entitled English is Global, So Why Learn Arabic?
