Hi ghasemkiani,

It should be either "a foreign language" or "foreign languages"

What do you say? Is that singular or plural?

Hello, lilian canale

Thanks for the suggestion. You're right. I prefer the plural form, noting the original German quote: "Wer fremde Sprachen nicht kennt, weiß nichts von seiner eigenen." I have edited my translaton, using the plural form.
