There are nearly 6500 distinct languages spoken in the world today. SchoolhouseTeachers.com can get you started on learning them. Join Sandra Heflin in her American Sign Language course. Since there are estimated to be over four million hearing-impaired people in the United States—many of them using ASL—it is an extremely useful language to know. Spanish is another language spoken by a large percentage of people in the U.S. Carol Henderson can help with an introduction to Spanish so that you can have a simple conversation if you meet a Spanish-speaking person or travel to another country where it is spoken. Speaking of traveling, have you ever thought about going to Paris? If it is a dream of yours or your kids, join Greg Shone for his French lessons so that you will be able to make your way around the city. Your travel plans might be years down the road, but the earlier you begin learning a language, the easier it will be. Another option available on SchoolhouseTeachers.com is Hands-On Hebrew with Evonne Mandella. Evonne has provided practical and simple lessons to learn this ancient language. She has also made it fun!
