America is full of diversity, and this is one of the reasons why there are several languages taught in US schools and universities.
Many students can speak a second language in America due to the diversity of cultures present within the country.
Many Americans dive into a new language during their university years, but what are the most common languages taught in US schools?
From Chinese to Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Italian, Arabic, and American Sign Language, students learn a wide range of new languages during their university years.
While people think Americans are monolingual and do not have any interest in learning a new language at all, this isn't true! On the contrary, several popular languages are taught to students all over America.
