WHY ANOTHER LANGUAGE?
(Particularly Spanish)
Perhaps an old proverb puts it best: when you learn a new language, you "gain a new soul." Who could put a price on that? And certainly, knowing Spanish--the language with the second-highest number of native speakers (after Mandarin)--in addition to English opens up a world of job opportunities beyond Spanish teachers or translators (as a plus, you can better enjoy a world of fantastic Spanish-language music, movies, and literature). Your child may not know it yet, but that's something exciting to look forward to. I can assure you, they will thank you for it!
