Reasons to Learn English, Spanish, Mandarin, and Arabic

If you’re familiar with ReDefiners World Languages, you know that we’re passionate about providing foreign language opportunities. Language lessons offer more than the ability to communicate in another language, though. Being proficient in a second language benefits children and adults. Language learning can promote academic achievement, as well as social, cultural, and character development. All of these benefits lead to increased career opportunities as children become adults. Ultimately, we aim to create a better world by creating multicultural individuals who understand, value, and respect cultural differences.
