Our Vision
![divide_red](https://www.americathebilingual.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/divide_red.png)
We envision an America
…where it’s just normal to be bilingual, and where most people are.
…more capable of listening to people outside of our borders—in their native languages—and connecting with them at a deeper level.
…where monolingualism, like illiteracy in the 19th and 20th centuries, is viewed as something to be reduced and eventually eliminated.
…where universal bilingualism and biliteracy is the next step in the long arc of American educational attainment.

OUR MISSION: TO INFORM AND INSPIRE
Just as our national parks are prized features of our physical landscape, America’s languages are prized features of our linguistic landscape.
Maybe you’re simply curious about bilingualism. Perhaps, like me, you wish to become bilingual. Or you may already speak several languages.
Wherever you fit in this panorama, we welcome you to America the Bilingual.
