Baltimore
An independent city in Maryland State, the city of Baltimore is home to around 650,000 people and was the second city in the USA (after New York) to reach 100,000 inhabitants. Baltimore is often referred to as a 'city of neighborhoods', thanks to the 300 or so individual districts that historically were inhabited by members of different ethnicities. Baltimore remains a multi-cultural society - the burgeoning Hispanic community adds to the rich mixture of African and Asian neighborhoods, meaning that Baltimore has plenty of scope to be a truly satisfying city for those wishing to pick up a foreign language.
