Why do colleges look for several years of a World Language?

<p>I don’t see how someone doesn’t see the benefit of knowing another language. This strengthens the argument on Americans being self centered and uninterested in any other culture than themselves. </p>

<p>I’ll provide you with some articles:

<p>There are many many articles of this nature online. </p>

<p>I don’t see why someone would not want to learn another language; especially, when they’re young and continually learning! In college, there are so many great experiences in college that you can get through studying abroad! I hope I’ll be able to go to Espana and Sudamerica at least twice throughout my four years. I hope to become fluent. And then lean another language. </p>

<p>Speaking in another language is fun! You get to learn about another culture! What’s not cool about that!?</p>
