LANGUAGE IS BRIDGE TO UNDERSTANDING OTHERS Language is the bridge to understanding foreign peoples. It is a bridge that one of every two people must cross. We can ' t understand other people unless we have some way of com municating our thoughts. In other words, we need a common language Foreign language studies provide students with a chance to express themselves in a language that some non- English speaking person might understand. Language studies give students a chance to understand the ideas and customs of people in foreign lands.
