Minneapolis

The primary business hub between Chicago and Seattle, Minneapolis is the largest city in the state of Minnesota. The three prime factors of business contacts, population size and diverse waves of immigration combine to make Minneapolis an ideal location to embrace learning a new language! The history of immigration to Minneapolis is unquestionably rich. Mid-nineteenth century arrivals originated from the Scandinavian nations of Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway, and later an abundance of immigrants settled in Minneapolis from Greece, Italy, Poland and Germany. The city now hosts a sizeable population of Russian, Chinese, Filipino, Japanese and Korean communities, as well as groups from Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and throughout Africa. Talk about ethnic diversity - and just think what this means for the possibility of talking another language!
