It's been said Australia is 'miles away' from where it should be when it comes to learning a language other than English.  With very few students choosing to study an additional language, many are concerned.  Maltese is also facing big problems. Now, experts, teachers and politicians are going to new lengths to ensure the next generation of Australians is more multilingual.

Issa esperti, għalliema u politikanti qegħdin jieħdu miżuri ġodda biex jiżguraw li l-ġenerazzjoni li jmiss tkun taf titkellem b’aktar minn lingwa waħda.
