"English is so much easier!" This is a quote that most people who are native English speakers have shouted in frustration while trying to learn another language. However, people who are learning English as a second language understand just how ridiculously difficult English really is.
Consider the following sentences:
- The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.
- The bandage was wound around the wound.
- A seamstress and a sewer fell down the sewer.
- There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger and neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
- You park in the driveway and drive on the parkway.
- When the stars are out, they are visible but when the lights are out, they are invisible.
The exceptions are in the thousands with plurals like tooth and teeth and cactus and cacti, and past tenses like eat becoming ate and lose becoming lost! Spelling in English feels nearly impossible for so many people because of those mysterious silent letters and the multiple sounds made by those not so simple English vowels.
English is anything but EASY!!! Of course it is easy to speak a language that you already speak!!! THAT is why people who speak English think that it is so easy!
Even though it is anything but easy, many people in other countries do learn English in addition to their native language and sometimes even a third language. So why learn a foreign language??? More specifically, why learn Spanish?
Check out these videos and come up with some reasons of your own for learning a foreign language.

ReplyDeleteLearning a foreign language is important. Speaking multiple languages can create many opportunities in future careers. If you go to visit or live in a foreign country, it is easier to talk to people in their native language since most of those people know that language. It also leaves the possibility to become a teacher and pass on language skills to the next generation. It can also be important because if you have family members that speak a certain language, you can learn that language to be able to talk to them.

ReplyDeleteLearning a foreign language can be very important, whether it is Arabic, Spanish, Hebrew, or even sign. It's a way to connect with other people that don't speak your native tongue. In the USA it's very good to know or understand even a little Spanish, because it is our second language after all.

ReplyDeleteLearning a new language, especially one as common as Spanish, is very beneficial to a person to allow them to communicate with people who speak Spanish, which can help when traveling, or if you meet somebody new who's original language is Spanish. Where we live in the Unites States, it is very common that we will meet many Spanish speaking people in our lives, and learning their language will help them to feel more connected, and may help you if you are in a Spanish speaking country.
Some people may think that they are taking Spanish or a foreign language because people are forcing them to. Although this may be true, there are a lot benefits of learning Spanish. For example, if you travel to another country, you will have the opportunity to actually talk to people who live in that country and not just no understand what they are saying. Also, if someone doesn't understand Spanish, some jobs require you to maybe speak a certain language. Therefore, even if you are being forced to speak a different language you should still put in the best effort.
ReplyDeleteI want to learn Spanish because I will mostly likely perform my dream job sometimes in mexico. I also want to communicate with my friend who like to speak Spanish.
ReplyDeleteI think learning a foreign language is important because if you go to a foreign country you will be able to speak to new people. Also, you'll have a better experience if you go to a country where you can speak the language. Another benefit from speaking a foreign language is that you can become friends with people you meet from a new country because if you don't speak their language you won't be able to talk with them and get to know them. If you can speak a foreign language you can go to a foreign country and understand their culture.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth G. D1P3
ReplyDeleteThe reason why I am learning a foreign language is for me to broaden my horizon and learn more about the world. There is a whole big wide world out there and I feel that I should learn as much as I can. Other countries normally have to learn English and another language for school but we only have to learn one so I feel that knowing more with help me live my life. I am also learning Spanish because it will help me on job applications and in college.
Jaiden T p:3 learning another language is vital for communication with other people from different countries. I take Spanish to hopefully get into a good college and have a good background in a foreign language. Also learning another language will bridge language barriers and help save lives
ReplyDeleteLearning a language is really important in many ways. For example, learning a language is required for most colleges and so it shows that colleges want their students who come to their schools to know at least one different language. Another reason why it's so important is because everyone in the world speaks different languages and only staying with your native language could make it more difficult if you ever get to talk to someone who doesn't really know your native language or who speaks a different language. Furthermore, some jobs would like their employees to know a foreign language. Although it's not required for the job, it would help you get the job if you add in that you know another language. Finally, the last reason is that if you ever want to visit a foreign country, although people there might speak your native language anyways, it would help you get the most out of your trip if you know their countries main language.

ReplyDeleteThere are many reasons why any given person might want to learn a foreign language such as Spanish. Whether or not it´s a class you need to graduate or your just longing to go visit a Spanish speaking country half way across the world, adding another skill to your plate of talents can benefit you in so many ways. In my case, I might not be a master at this new found hobby, I might not even be able to say one word with out making native Spanish speakers cringe but in the future this romantic language can help me to communicate with other colleges. It can allow me to meet new people I would have never talked to before if it was not for Spanish. Most importantly, it can allow me to travel the world, explore and understand millions of rich cultures. So the real question is, why not learn Spanish?

If you were dating someone who's first language isn't English, it would bring you two a lot closer to each other and their family if you attempted to learn their language. It's also a romantic language and it sounds pretty, also fun to argue in. From Samantha Murphy day 2 p3
