The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) was established in 1958 to run the American space program. It placed the first American satellites and astronauts in orbit, and it launched the Apollo spacecraft that landed men on the moon in 1969. Today, NASA conducts research aboard earth-orbiting satellites and interplanetary probes, explores new concepts in advanced aerospace technology, and operates the U.S. fleet of manned space shuttle orbiters.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) supports basic research and education in science and engineering in the United States through grants, contracts, and other agreements awarded to universities, colleges, and nonprofit and small business institutions. The NSF encourages cooperation among universities, industry, and government, and it promotes international cooperation through science and engineering.

eLanguageSchool.net is the largest website for learning multiple languages on the Internet. We have compiled the best resources from a variety of sources to make learning any of ten different languages as easy as possible. Select your language from above to get started.

Top 3 Reasons to Learn a Foriegn Language:

Improve Employment Potential

"[T]he English language alone is probably sufficient if all we need to do is buy our products abroad, if we need to purchase foreign goods and services. But when it comes to selling a product abroad, you have to understand the psychology and the belief structure of your client. If you are selling America abroad and telling America's story abroad [...] then you have to understand the value systems of that foreign public that you are speaking to." - Dr. Dan Davidson, President of the American Councils on International Education

Learning a foreign language is the first step to getting that job that pays seven figures and gives you two paid hawaii vacations a year.

Sharpens Cognitive Skills

"We have strong evidence today that studying a foreign language has a ripple effect, helping to improve student performance in other subjects." - Richard Riley, U.S. Secretary of Education under Bill Clinton

That means that learning a foreign language can make it easier for you to learn anything from advanced math to programming languages for laptop computers.

Improve Chances of Entry into College

If you are considering going to college, or even looking at online degrees, many colleges require a minimum of two years of foreign language instruction to be considered for admission. In many colleges it is considered part of a well rounded education and may be required if you have not taken it in high school. Even if it is not required, foreign language skills are looked upon favorably by colleges.
