Summary
A famous quote on language learning by Michael Gove, a British parliamentarian states that “It is literally the case that learning languages makes you smarter. The quotation can be a proven truth, but is it possible for every Indian child to get an opportunity to learn new or foreign languages? Foreign language learning remains a dream for these children as neither the MCD School system nor the child can afford.
