The World in Words 5: Americans’ language-learning adventures abroad and the linguistic sensitives of a Eurotrashy song contest
The Bush Administration now offers grants for Americans to study languages such as Arabic. We travel to Cairo where language schools are full of American students. Also, a conversation with self-described language fanatic Elizabeth Little. And a journey through the linguistic politics – and just plain silliness – of the Eurovision Song Contest.
