Our planet has over 6 billion people who speak between 6000 and 7000 different languages Not everyone speaks English – it’s a multicultural and a multilingual world!
A little language can make a lot of difference
David Beckham: “If I can conquer Spanish, it will have been a  great achievement!”
By the age of 21, you will have spoken about 50 million words!!!
German is the most  widely  spoken  first language in Europe
People who can speak another  language can earn up to £5000 more  than colleagues who do not!
At the age of 18 months you can speak about fifty words. At the age of five you can  speak several  thousand!
If you have learnt a second language, it is easier to learn a third, fourth…….. fifth…!
In London, more than  300  languages are spoken at home.
70, 000 volunteers are needed for the London 2012 Olympics – Especially people who can speak other languages!
