USA Today reports that sign language is close to surpassing German as the third most studied language at colleges across the country. The standings as of right now have Spanish in the top slot as being the most studied by university students, than French, German, and surprisingly, Sign Language comes in, in the number four spot.
I think this is pretty great for all languages! Studying different languages gives you a broader sense of worldliness, and it definitely makes a person appear more cultured and well-rounded. I just find it surprising that Sign Language was number four when Italian is so readily available to most students in colleges across the country.
