Comment: Do young people care about learning foreign languages?

Yes, they do.



But native language prove to be too difficult. Why not begin with Esperanto, which is recommended by UNESCO since 1954. It is listed as Poland intangible heritage and many Hungarian students are taking it.

If the ministers of education in the world are  wise enough, they would produce more confident citizens and at the same time, save more money in language learning.

Thus, if you want your child to have bilingual,vote carefully for the right education minister, who can list Esperanto as a subject in the school. Of course, this is a respect to the UNESCO resolutions.
