Why
Learn Another Language?
In this
VFLA advocacy film for language programs, learn Jake Burton
Carpenter's secret for success in international business!
According to Jake, founder and CEO of Burton Snowboards, a
business leader must "be a good corporate citizen in
every country, respecting customs and languages."
The film also gives valuable information about why knowing
another language is an especially valuable skill in Vermont.
For example, did you know that we are the biggest per capita
exporter in the US? Why Learn Another Language?
also gives the cognitive, social, and academic advantages
of language learning, but its economic arguments may be the
most compelling for some parents. And their kids will
love the snowboarding pictures!
