"No Matter What Your Language (No Importa Su Idioma)" is a Sesame Street song that first appeared on the show in Season 3. In the song, a Spanish speaker teaches an English speaker that anyone can learn a new language, if they take the time to learn.
The song has been sung by a number of pairs, including Rafael and Bob (EKA: Episode 0348) and Luis and Susan (EKA: Episode 0767).
The album version, first heard in 1974 on Big Bird Sings! and ¡Sesame Mucho!, features Luis and Big Bird.
Season 22 debuted a version at Birdland, with Duck Ellington, the Sesame Street All-Animal Jazz Ensemble, and Wynton Marsalis. (EKA: Episode 2874) Rosita also performed the song in a segment from Season 29 with the Anything Muppets.
