    I thinks its cool that we belive that english is the language mostly spoken in the world but we are blind to all the other languages that are also very frequently spoken. This really opened my eyes and goes to show how many different types of people live on earth.

    For the couple of minutes I was in class, I learned that there are a lot of Chinese Speakers in San Fransisco, California.

    There are an estimated 6,700 recognized languages in the world. Most of them are spoken by fewer than 1,000 people.
