LEARN A NEW LANGUAGE IN JACKSON

Jackson is Mississippi’s capital and largest city. Jackson is the anchor for the Jackson, Mississippi Metropolitan Statistical Area. It is the state’s 2nd largest metropolitan area, because four counties in northern Mississippi are part of the Memphis metropolitan area. With a 2019 population estimated at 595,000, metropolitan Jackson is home to about one-fifth of Mississippi’s population. Jackson, which was chosen by AAA Southern Traveler Magazine as the Best City in Mississippi, is noted for its beautiful architecture – from the magnificent Capitol building that dates back to 1903 to the modest home of Medgar Evers, a slain civil rights worker.Known as the “Best of the New South,” Jackson is a major business force in Mississippi. Its diversity of business and industry and its position as the state capital help insulate the metropolitan area from the economic downturns experienced by other cities. Since 1990, Jackson has experienced notable demographic growth and transformation—driven mostly by an increase in the African American and Latino populations. Jackson’s success in drawing high-paying industrial operations is attributed to the city’s combination of an attractive labor pool and a good quality of life. The Jackson metropolitan area is home to 16 banks, 4 of which are headquartered in the city of Jackson.Life in this city pulses with music – gospel, blues, rock, jazz, classical and everything in between – born from a tradition steeped in the arts. Jackson is also home to the world famous Malaco Records recording studio, where many notable musicians got their start. The city hosts a number of cultural events including CelticFest Mississippi, Crossroads Film Festival, Jubilee Jam, Mississippi State Fair and the USA International Ballet Competition. Learning a new language in a city with deep roots in positive expansion can be a wonderful experience for personal growth. With a wide range of entertainment, careers, and people, learning a language is a way to connect to the diverse community!
