"Learning
a foreign language not only reveals how other societies think and feel,
what they have experienced and value, and how they express themselves,
it also provides a cultural mirror in which we can more clearly see our
own society."
-- Chancellor Edward Lee Gorsuch

Each year choose a language to focus on. You can choose a foreign language, or just study English to improve your first language. Here are some suggestions: Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, German, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Korean, Russian, Danish, Welsh, English Grammar etc. Depending on the language you choose, there are many LDS resources to help you with your study. If you are just starting to learn a language you may wish to begin with the Mountaineer level only. Continue studying the same language till you reach your goal for that language. You can move up a level each year for the next 4 years. Learning a language takes time. Mountaineer:Get from the library or purchase a dictionary that is in English and the language of your choice.
