I’m saddened by the short sightedness of shutdowns of language programs in schools. Usually to divert money to stem. I’m glad I had the experience of learning languages, even if only to schoolboy levels.
I have a calculator can I skip maths class?
A better question might be how to leverage MT (& other tools) in learning languages.
It’s also a bit rich coming from a native English speaker. A dominant language that most of the world is expected to learn.
