A man who knows two language is worth two men.

The French proverb goes, “A man who knows two languages is worth two men.” Those of us who have ever stepped into the waters of second language learning know this to be true. A second language gives an individual a whole new set of experiences and expressions of those experiences.

Ignorance is lifted, knowledge is gained, another life is born.

We’ve compiled this quote along with 100 others to create a free ebook of 101 quotes to inspire each of us on our language learning journeys. As an English as a Second Language teacher, I know how key motivation is to language learning. The stronger the motivation in the learner, the faster acquisition tends to happen.

My hope is that these quotes fan the flame of motivation inside each one of us to

  •  Cross borders
  •  Take risks
  •  Communicate boldly

I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed putting them together.

Happy learning!
