Se cree que los hablantes multilingües superan en número a los hablantes monolingües en la población mundial.

The evergreen container ship was finally un-stuck in the Suez Canal. The ship is so big, was if standing on its stern beside One World Trade Center in New York its bow would extend 45 feet above the top floor of our nation's tallest office tower.
