The United States is so diverse and brings people of all nationalities and backgrounds in one country. In Europe, many students study more than one language early on in school. By the time they graduate high school, most students can speak two or three languages. If you are not one of those individuals who studied another language while in school, don't fret. There are plenty of courses that adults can take to learn another language. Here's a breakdown of some of the most popular courses:
