Foreign Language

As I said in the introduction, the benefits for learning another language are infinite. For me, the opportunity to have access to an even greater amount of knowledge and information is too tempting. Take a look, for example, at the Spanish language. Spanish is spoken by over a billion people worldwide. That's more than 15% of Earth's population, and a lot of people to talk to.

Learning a foreign language gives me the power and ability to speak with each and every one of these people, to learn their knowledge and take part in their culture and traditions.

The world is a global environment, a global economy, and a global community. Learning a foreign language allows me to become a global citizen of a global world.

The United States is no longer a nation of one language. Spanish is rapidly becoming a part of the nation, and it won't be long before it is necessary to learn Spanish in order to live a daily life. The same is true with other languages. Whether the citizens of America like it or not, the country is becoming a global America; a nation of many peoples and languages.

This change is even happening right now. In areas of high Spanish-speaking populations, such as Los Angeles and Miami, it is required for job-seekers to speak Spanish. It won't be too long before this same need creeps upward into the rest of the nation.
