THE POWER OF LEARNING
 10 A   A NEW LANGUAGE

        Imagine  flying  to  France  for  the
        Olympics  and  arriving  at  Charles  de
        Gaulle  Airport.  You  grab  a  cab  after
        collecting  your  luggage  and  inform
        the  driver  of  the  name  of  your
        destination.   Many   problems   may
        happen here, such as mispronouncing
        the  destination  and  the  driver  not
        understanding and you being unable
        to  clarify  since  you  do  not  speak
        French.                                         Alaya Mohindru                   Amaira Mohindru
        If only you knew French, imagine how
        different  the  Olympic  experience
        might be. In the words of Muhammad                                   L'AMOUR MATERNEL D'UNE
        Rumi, 'Speak a new language so that                                            ÉLÉPHANTE
        the  world  will  be  a  new  world.'  As
        you've heard, learning a language can                                Dans la grande savane, sous le ciel doré,
