The quote for the day:
"Speaking multiple languages is not only a desirable skill in the global marketplace, but it also implies an understanding of multiculturalism, adaptability and flexibility. Make no mistake, these are critical skills in a world that is continually changing, and doing so faster and faster." Claudia Romo
