Foreign Cultures"As an American, I'm appalled that my countrymen are so uninterested in learning other languages. It seems like everyone else in the world speaks at least two. Maybe this site will help lazy Americans learn foreign languages instead of watching wrestling. Language Box is the perfect hub for any language lover. They provide links to all the best sites for learning about foreign countries and their languages. They'll soon have online language courses, but for now they have links to other exceptional language sites.
