I wish Spanish had been offered back when I was in school (the 70’s).

German (what little I retained) helps me personally very little. Even here in PA Dutch country.

If these girls learn a second language through the Scouting program, good on ‘em!

Some people see "Spanish," and their hackles go up.

The word for that is "prejudice" or "bias."

I had 2 weeks of german. Couldn’t make sense of any of it. I can read german and figure out the basic idea. But the spoken german language might as well be martian to me.

3 years of french. French is way easier to pick up.
