Sure! But since English appears to be the dominant language in the international community, especially business, it would probably be even smarter for every Spaniard to learn English.

However, since the population of Hispanics is growing at such a fast rate, wouldn't it be smarter for them to stick to Spanish and just pretend to NOT speak Engilsh??? eek!

In the UK you get to learn German, French and sometimes Italian, Spanish, Dutch, Portuguese, and so-on. raver Uni = Any. Including Greek and Latin.

I think that learning other languages is a great idea. It's good for your brain, actually. Besides, Spanish is a fairly easy language in comparison to English. Those of us who are fluent in English don't like to hear of that, but it's true. English is a difficult language. Granted, Spanish can be difficult as well, but that's generally due to ignorance or a lack of will to learn. I love Spanish. It's a great language, and fluency in it is one of my goals before I finish college, earlier, if possible.

Because my teacher liked me and did not want to see me die, maybe that is why she cried.
There's no point in learning any foreign language, especially if you will not be taking any trips where that specific language is used. We're required to take French 1 and 2 in High School (I'm almost out of French 2 now), but I see no point in it. I'm never going to freaking France or Quebec, Canada! People should have the option to stick with their native language UNLESS they know that they will be traveling elsewhere where that language is used fluently.

Study of forgien languages can be a very rewarding subject. Not only does it show collages that you have the intelligence and drive to succeed but it is also very handy to have on hand.

To bring up another point, it's also not a very good thing to learn a foreign language especially if you are NOT going to college. Let me put it this way, if you're not doing anything related to anything foreign, I see no point in it--let's just put it that way. wink

Learning other languages is always a good thing but it shouldn't be required. English should be the official language of the US.

And as for it being "their land" (Mexicans), what a crock. What is now the southwest US was only part of Mexico for a very few years. Before that it was a Spanish colony. Before that it was Indian land. Is Mexico going to give the Indians back "their land"?

docb77
I agree it's ours now, we won it fair and square. Y no me importa lo que piensan los emigres ilegales.

As for the mexicans ever killing the people who don't speak spanish to take it back.... Well, I don't think that Mexico will ever be in a position to even think about a full scale war with the States.

Of course it shouldn't be required, since English is the language of the land. But it wouldn't be a bad idea at all, since it's the #2 language in the US. Job opportunities are better if you're bilingual, so it certainly would be a plus for your benefit.

Renamon you cannot learn from a translator... the translator more often than not screws up the sentence structure. If you wish to learn Spanish take classes like I did.

there are people in america who dont know spanish? shock


*is from a 70% mexican town* no expression So my opinion doesnt count.

NineCoronas
No, I don't. I don't believe we should be forced to learn Spanish because a huge group of whiny, bitching illegal immigrants invaded my country.

That said, it's a good idea to learn it because you'll inevitably be working with a Mexican or Spanish speaking person in your lifetime, if you live in the US... or anywhere else for that matter.
