I picked this article because it is interesting to see how people who join a former exchange program helps them to learn a different language. I found it interesting that the top 20 languages worldwide are Chinese, Spanish, English, Hindi, Arabic Portuguese, Bengali, Russian, Japanese, Javanese, German, Lahnda, Telugu, Marathi, Tamil, French, Vietnamese, Korean, Urdu, Italian, Malay, Persian, Turkish, and Oriya. The Student Exchange Program is helpful because students who are learning a foreign language can get hands on experience with what they are learning. I agree with this article because it gives a student the ability to experience culture, history and it makes the student respect the language. The Student Language Exchange Program is beneficial to our community because it reinforces student's ability to learn a foreign language.

  1. I also find it interesting how that many people go to former exchange programs. For a chance I would not mind doing it, the only thing that might be off is that you are at a place where you don't know anyone. It's kinda scary.
