In today’s world, foreign languages are an essential skill that open up an incredible array of opportunities to students who master them.
Professionals who speak more than one language are in high demand and valued in every economic sphere.
Moreover, in the last decades, several studies have proved that multilingualism is a blessing for the human brain, as it strengthens the ability to empathize with others, it enhances communication skills, self confidence and multitasking, and it protects from early dementia and Alzheimer's (among other things).
“You can never understand one language until you understand at least two.”
