Language is a Channel to Understanding
As the fighting in Iraq begins to settle down, the much larger task of restoration and reconstruction is still at hand. Communication will be key for these tasks, and of course, language issues will be a constant challenge for all involved.
A recent item in the press tells how one soldier who knew how to speak Arabic was inundated with lines of Iraqi citizens asking him questions and trying to gain information from him. In another instance, an Iraqi family cheerfully greeted and served lunch to three soldiers once they realized that one of those soldiers spoke Iraqi Arabic. In these cases, knowledge of the language produced positive results. Another story tells of how not knowing simple Iraqi phrases such as "stop" (wugaf) may have contributed to the shooting of a civilian and the injury of a soldier.
These cases illustrate how language can either be a barrier to understanding of a channel to understanding. Along with learning a foreign language, one also gains the knowledge of a culture that will further broaden ones views and ideas.
The increased interest in the Arabic language alone is apparent in our top sellers here at Multilingual Books. Other languages such as Spanish, Thai and Portuguese are always popular, too. It does not necessarily require world events to spark language interest. Some people are inquiring about language to be more in touch with their respective heritages (Latvian, Finnish and Twi are perfect examples). Now more than ever, language and language learning are playing a vital role in everyone's life.

Tanikalang Ginto (Philippine Golden Links)
Tanikalang Ginto (Philippine Golden Links) claims to be "the Philippines' Most Comprehensive Web Directory", and I see no reason to doubt this. The site contains hundreds (perhaps thousands) of links to Philippine-related sites, most with short descriptions. Great for anyone interested in Filipino culture.
