Spain would argue with you.
And China is going to be coming apart at the seams soon.
You would be better off learning Hindi.
Latin is good for a number of reason. She will have a much easier time with any science or legal class because of it.
China is going to be coming apart at the seams soon?
On what, perchance, do you base that prediction?
It seems to this poster, that China is TAKING US APART at the seams. And we seem incapable of even taking the first steps, to doing even one single thing, to stop the process.
We are being outworked. Outflanked. Outinvested. Outmanuvered. And we sit and predict (other) countries are on the wrong track???
BTW: If you are to study a foreign language, I would recommend Mandarin and Spanish over French, which for some odd reason is usually the language “other” than Spanish offerred by our schools. French is a useless language, unless you want to read wine labels.
LOL! Spain is why most of South America, Central America, the Caribbean, and part of North America use Spanish.
I think Spanish is a beautiful language, and I'm looking forward to using it again when my children start learning it. Our family has been asked to help with music for our church's Spanish-language ministry, and that will be fun, too.
Have a gripe about immigration if you want to - I have some, too - but that has nothing to do with the basic concept of learning Spanish. I studied Spanish in school for many years, long before illegal immigration was a big issue.
Our high school offers Latin. I think my son wants to take it next year. Of course, my brother teaches Latin at a Catholic prep school...
Money to China is like waving catnip in front of a cat. They’ll regroup and come back stronger. They like $$$ and willing to work for it.
India is another country to watch - they’ve got a good future - Hindi is a language to also learn.
