I think that it is important to learn Spanish in today's society because there are so many Spanish speaking people in the United States today. I also think that its is important to learn Spanish today because in today's work force it gives you a competative advantage to be bilingual.

I think it is important to learn foreigne language, especially spanish because our neighboring country speaks spanish. Also, there are multiple countries around the would that speak Spanish, and it is always helpful to know a foreigne language no matter what you plan to do, or where you plan to go in life.

I think that it is important to learn a foreign language in today's society because so many new people are coming the the United States that don't speak English. Also I think that one day you might encounter having to work or speak with someone who speaks a foreign language and it would be great to know what they were saying. :) It;s a great advantage to put on a college application that you know different languages because they look at what all you have done.

I think it is very important to learn a foreign language in today's society because there are so many foreign people in the United States. There are many Spanish speaking individuals and it is always helpful to be able to understand what they are saying or what is going on. It will also be an advantage to me in the job force because the United States is always teaming up with other countries to better our technology.

I think it is important to learn a foreign language (Spanish) because we depend on our neighbors for trade. In order to communicate with other countries, we should know how to speak their native language. Afterall, most of the world at least trys to learn some English! Many other countries teach their students at least one other if not more languages starting in kindergarten.

I think that it is important to learn Spanish today in the United States because there are so many foreigners that live and work in our society. If I at least know a little bit of Spanish I can at least understand some of what they are saying, rather than being completely lost. I also think that since there are so many Spanish speaking people in America that a job is more likely to hire you with a little bit of background in Spanish compared to having none at all.
