I hope you’ll find my forthcoming book, Babel No More, worth reading. It’s about a search for the answer to the question, how many languages can humans learn? Along the way, I meet and discuss many different sorts of language learners in various parts of the world. I also take up some of the issues you blog about here. The book will be published in January of 2012 by Free Press/Simon & Schuster; there’s a website at http://www.babelnomore.com.
Thank you for taking the time to compile these resources for those of us who fight for the study of foreign languages and cultures. Excellent resource.

I appreciate your support and will continue to promote foreign language study through this site.
I just found this site – are you including American Sign Language (ASL)? They’re suffering cuts too.
No, I have not included any but if you have some pertinent ones to suggest . . .
In the wake of a deficit, Clarion University of Pennsylvania is completely eliminating French and German. There is an online petition in favor of keeping them and music education:
