Why Learn Another Language?
Give yourself a competitive edge

Did you know that studying a second language can improve your skills and grades in Math and English and can improve entrance exam scores - SATs, ACTs, GREs, MCATs and LSATs?

 
The job advantage in a global economy

More and more businesses work closely with companies in other countries.  They need many kinds of workers who communicate in different languages and understand other cultures.

There are lots of Americans who speak languages other than English.  If you've ever thought of being a nurse, a doctor, a police officer, a judge, an architect, a business person, a singer, a plumber, or a Web master, you will multiply your chances for success if you speak more than one language.

Learning other cultures:  Your world and beyond

Discover new worlds!  Get an insider's view of another culture and a new view of your own.

Connect with other cultures.  Knowledge of other cultures will help you expand your personal horizons and become a responsible citizen.  Your ability to talk to others and gather information beyond the world of English will contribute to your community and your country.

Go for the Excitement:  New Ways of Language Learning

What can you expect?  You will learn a second language in exciting new ways using technology and focusing on communication (speaking).  Learning a language is not just learning grammar and vocabulary.  It is learning new sounds, expressions, and ways of seeing things; it is learning how to function in another culture, how to know a new community from the inside out.

Which language should you learn?

There's no one answer.  At Pebblebrook, you can learn French, German, or Spanish.  Whatever language you choose, learning it will make a difference in how you see the world and in how the world sees you.
