The Importance Of Learning Spanish

As we approach the 21st century, as the concept of "global village" rapidly reaches the stage, we need to broaden our view of the world and understand and recognize the cultures of other countries sharing the earth. And we. As a cultural creature, we provide order to the world around us in some way. Shortly, these "cultural filters" allow you to understand reality, shape, become fixed, invisible and unconscious. They are part of our view of the world. .

In 2010, Nick Christoph wrote the New York Times column and pointed out the importance of learning Spanish. As a fluent Spanish spokesperson, I fully agree. But he thinks that the Chinese should be next. At the time, I objected. If I want a third language to be Arabic, I do not ask anyone to learn Spanish but write to anyone who has a desire to listen. Children who have just enrolled need to study Chinese. It does not deny that China does not have a big influence. I think that it is decades after they first reached an equilibrium of important forces with the United States, as I and most people are looking calmly.

For the next generation, learning a foreign language to catch up with today's global world is important, but why should it be in Spanish? There are many languages ​​that are more useful and learning value than Spanish, such as Chinese, Japanese, and German. These languages ​​are the language of economic and technical power of the world. In contrast, Spanish is used only in Third World countries except Spain. Why are we forced to learn this useless third world language?

I think that Spanish is easy to learn. It is also a door to a world of romantic languages. If you study Spanish you can learn Portuguese; Brazilian population is 200 million people. You can learn Italian, it is an extraordinary language with a lot of history behind it, and French. Spanish will take you to the world. So I think there is much motivation - there should be a lot of people to learn Spanish. If you are an American, more Hispanic, it is not just the reason that you may need Spanish to find a job at some point. I think these are small problems. Language learning is a long way. Just needing a working language is not enough and a deeper motivation is needed.
