Via Seth Godin, some interesting statistics on second language attitudes in the US. Although it’s dangerous to make inferences or draw conclusions from these data, there are some interesting results.
For example, when asked to assess the importance of learning a second language for someone in business, 52% of the lowest income respondents answered “very important”, compared to 28% for the highest income respondents.
