February is ACTFL's Discover Languages Month!

As part of the sustained public awareness campaign to promote language education, the ACTFL Board of Directors has designated the month of February as Discover Languages month.  This effort will be celebrated annually as a time when language educators can help to raise public awareness by focusing on language programs and the important benefits that people of all ages gain from learning languages.

In the spirit of this effort, ACTFL will be posting interesting language study based "Daily Facts" on their site and their Twitter page!

Here is today's Daily Fact:

"Did you know there are approx 6,500 languages spoken in the world? However, about 2,000 of those have fewer than 1,000 speakers."
