Should English Speaking Americans Learn to Speak Spanish As a Second Language?
Learning Spanish as a second language is an important consideration within the rapidly evolving 21st century. You might find it surprising to see and witness the sheer number of Spanish speaking individuals relocating to the United States from Mexico. As of 2006, there are over 28 million native Spanish speaking people living in the United States. Spanish is quickly becoming the second most popular language spoken in the U.S. and the fourth most common language spoken on the planet. So is learning to speak Spanish of any importance? Well, it depends. If you are a person that is resistant to change and do not desire to be competitive in the 21st century, then learning Spanish will not be on your priority list. However, if you are a person that understands that the world is changing (especially the United States) and you want to be a part of that change as well as make yourself more marketable in your career of choice, then learning Spanish will keep you headed in the right direction.
