    Sure, learning spanish can make your travel experiences a lot more fun, help you expand your social life, and hey maybe even your love life too but lets be a little more realistic on a normal daily or weekly level thats when spanish speaking jobs come to place.

    I am fluent in French, but that's not going to do me any good. I can read the handwriting on the wall. Mexicans are prouder of their heritage than Americans are which means English will soon become a dead language. So next week I'm going out to San Diego State and see if I can enroll in just one class for starters - Spanish 101. I'm telling you, if you've got kids get them into Spanish classes…

    The persistent inflow of Hispanic immigrants threatens to divide the United States into two peoples, two cultures, and two languages. Unlike past immigrant groups, Mexicans and other Latinos have not assimilated into mainstream U.S. culture, forming instead their own political and linguistic enclaves—from Los Angeles to Miami—and rejecting the AngloProtestant values that built the American dream. The United States ignores this challenge at its peril.…

    My opinion in the topic “should different languages be taught in school” I believe that we should be able to learn different languages in school because people want to experience, and challenge themselves learning a new language. They also can appear competitive when applying to college since they will see that you challenge yourself with a course that you had no idea how it was spoken or even written. Students should have the privilege to learn more than one language and get out of there comfort zone.…
