Do we really need to learn foreign language in the age of Google Translate? Spanish teacher, Heather Mattingly (once she stops laughing) argues it's never been more important to expose ourselves and our students to the many lessons foreign language and culture studies can teach us. As our businesses become more entwined with foreign nations and we all struggle together with massive challenges like climate change, we need the next generation to lead the way through productive and cooperative international relationships. We cover a lot of territory here from basics like apps and tools to help us all with language acquisition to reasons we don't seem to take our kids on as many foreign trips as we once did.
