Re: Foreign Languages?
actually... yes, Chinese (Mandarin) is spoken by most people, but is mainly confined to China.Re: Foreign Languages?
Yes, I think Spanish would be my first choice of foreign language if I lived in the USA. I firmly believe ALL children should learn at last one foreign language because it increases their understanding of their own language, and if taught properly in the context of the culture too, it increases inter-cultural understanding.Re: Foreign Languages?
I worked with a man from Belgium years ago who told me that in his country it was a requirement in schools that kids learn a minimum of two languages. Spanish has been taught in schools since I was a child. I took four years of French in high school. The Spanish population has become huge in the United States so lots of Anglo-Americans learn Spanish to interact with Latins in the workplace.Re: Foreign Languages?
