你知道吗，美国政府资助了数个项目供美国学生学习中文，包括关键语言奖学金 、博伦奖学金和青年国家安全语言倡议。学习一门外语可以为文化交流、海外学习和未来就业打开很多新机会。

为鼓励美国学生学习普通话和其他语言，上周美国国务院推出一个新网站（https://languages.state.gov），汇集了现有的美国政府语言项目、奖学金、实习等信息，让有兴趣学习普通话和其他100多门语言的美国学生能够了解符合自己的兴趣和目标的语言培训项目。

你为什么选择学习一门外语？如果你能学习一门新语言，会是什么语言？

Did you know that the U.S. government sponsors several programs for American students to study Chinese, including the Critical Language Scholarship, the Boren Fellowship, and the National Security Language Initiative for Youth? Studying a foreign language can open many new opportunities for cultural exchange, overseas study, and future employment.

To encourage American students to study Mandarin and other languages, last week the State Department launched a new website (https://languages.state.gov) that centralizes information on existing U.S. government language programs, scholarships, internships and more, so that American students interested in learning Mandarin and more than 100 other languages can learn about language-training programs that fit their own personal interests and goals.

Why did you choose to study a foreign language? If you could study a new language, which language would it be?
