ascincoquinas is right that this re-arrangement is the only good answer. In addition, you need "of" before "foreign languages" whether you keep the original word order or not. If you absolutely must keep the given word order (and adding the necessary word "of"), you could say, "Not many people know the learning of foreign languages has importance." Or, you could replace "the" with "that", giving "Not many people know that learning foreign languages has importance." Bruce |

You may also say: Not many people know (that) learning foreign languages is of (paramount )importance. |
