There are an estimated one billion trilingual speakers worldwide. If that sounds like a lot, keep in mind that it is just 13 percent of everyone on earth. RIC alumna Daiely Rodríguez ’21 is one in a billion. She was almost destined to speak multiple languages since she was a baby.
“American Sign Language (ASL) was my first language, because both my parents are deaf and mute. I had to learn sign language in order to communicate with them,” she explains. “Then, I learned Spanish and later English.” (In the photos above, she is spelling R-I-C in ASL.)
