The study of a foreign language, its literature and culture expands your cultural
horizon, sharpens your linguistic skills, and offers you the excitement of intercultural
communication. In addition, by learning another language, you will arrive at a deeper
understanding of your very own culture. Business, entertainment, media, tourism, education,
politics, and many more areas demand cultural sophistication that includes foreign
languages, intercultural communication skills and a well-rounded education in the
humanities.
