Languages Promote World Understanding Many Northites will never forget the year that they returned to fundamentals of language — a foreign language — and once again had to learn to pronounce, read, and form simple sen- tences. They will also remember, of course, the feeling of satisfaction that they experienced when they realized that they had actually learned the basics of another language and, perhaps, had the chance to read entire books, see movies, have telephone conversations, or put on plays in that language. The American Field Service and International Christian Youth Exchange foreign student programs also gave the students a better opportunity to understand foreign cultures, languages, and people. —16—
