They can also learn to say in Spanish, “If I learned your language, you can learn mine.”

**They can also learn to say in Spanish, “If I learned your language, you can learn mine.”**

If I were to make an effort to learn Spanish, it would be more for verbal self defense than anything else.

I speak 4 Languages with varying levels of fluency, and can be polite (and find a bathroom) in 8 others.

I drive a taxi in a very “International” college town.. it’s amazing that I’ve increased tips by 250% just by being able to say thank you in several languages.
