In the United States Languages ​​are a strategic issue in the fields of defense, commerce, diplomacy, however they are not always very well developed. Lobbying for languages ​​at the federal level goes hand in hand with the activism of parents and teachers locally who wish to maintain their linguistic heritage or to bring children out of a monolingualism that restricts their opportunities. The role that Bill Rivers plays is crucial and helps to reduce the linguistic deficit of the United States and to make our American friends more open to languages.
