Learning
a new languages have many advantages, you can be more efficient in the work
place and the company may pay you more! On my personal experience learning a
second language has been a great opportunity for me. Why? Because I can communicate
with more people! I’m bilingual, I can get a better job; especially here in the
U.S. where Spanish has become one of the most popular languages lately. I don’t
understand when Hispanic families don’t want their kids to learn Spanish, it
really bugs me! They can teach it for free when they are little because once
they get older is more difficult for them to learn it, their parents don’t even
know all the opportunities they take away from their kids. When I was in high
school I did the AP Spanish test and I scored 4 points, the maximum were 5, but
I got 12 college credits for free, and GCC count them as my foreign language credits;
and with those credits I will be getting my certificate in language. Another
reason to learn a language is that you think very differently! You can have
more perspectives and you develop more criteria, less prejudice about the
people who speak that specific language you are learning, you learn different
cultures, learning a new language stimulates your brain, global market appreciates
more people who is efficient in two or more languages, your creativity
increases, recently I was reading that it can help you improving your decision
making skills, and you can develop new long term friendships. Learning a new
language is kind of hard at the beginning but then it will get easy and then
you will enjoy all the benefits of knowing that language! Check out this video! ☺
