“Understanding a modern foreign language helps you understand English better. The process of becoming fluent in a foreign language reinforces your fluency and understanding of grammar, syntax, sentence structure, verbal precision. There is no one who is fluent in a foreign language who isn’t a masterful user of their own language.”
