Languages
for 2011
"Learning
a foreign language not only reveals how other societies think and feel,
what they have experienced and value, and how they express themselves,
it also provides a cultural mirror in which we can more clearly see our
own society."
-- Chancellor Edward Lee Gorsuch

Here are some suggestions: Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, German, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Russian, Danish, etc. Since most of our study will involve using church language materials, you may wish to choose a language in which you can do so.
