Why Is Spanish Important To Learn?
Significance
- Spanish is the most logical choice to learn as a second language for most people in the United States. We border Mexico and are geographically close to Latin America, where Spanish is the primary language. Not to mention that Spanish-speaking Latinos are the largest-growing minority group in the country, not far from becoming as large a population as the majority.
- Jobs in today's market are becoming more and more geared toward bilingual candidates. More and more bilingual candidates are required in almost all fields such as medical, law, business, etc., just to mention a few. Consider education, where states are having to recruit from other countries to find people who are fluent in both Spanish and English. However, if they can find the same type of qualified candidates here, those people can be assured long-term jobs paid at a higher rate than their monolingual counterparts.
