“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language that goes to his heart.” ( Nelson Mandela )

Language learning was once considered nothing more than a hobby, but as the world continues to become increasingly connected, learning a language other than English is considered a necessity. Advancing technologies have afforded us the ability to communicate no matter where we are in the world, amplifying the importance of foreign language study. The great thing about languages is that, other than being a form of communication, they also serve as a means of relating to others on a cultural level.

 

In the same pace Amity University Rajasthan established School for language learning recognized as Amity School of Languages (ASL);  it was established under Faculty of Humanities,  Social Sciences and Liberal Arts.
