We the undersigned pledge to encourage and support language learning

Learning a language is SO MUCH MORE than it seems. Learn it for any reason: improved job opportunties, higher pay, finely honed personal skills, the experience of living abroad and fitting in more easily, watching films or reading books in the original, increased social circles, more creative thinking, fewer health...
problems, or just knowing you can live life in another language! In fact, it's SUCH a good idea we should really talk it up...
