Actually, there are a couple of things I like about Spanish:

1. The languange is a fairly phonetic language, which means what you write down on paper is close to what you pronounce in the language. This is definitely NOT true of French.

2. Much of Spanish grammar is not impossible to understand to English speakers, thanks to that Norman invasion in 1066 that infused English with a strong Romance (French/Spanish/Italian) language influence.

Now, if we can just convince those illegal Mexican immigrants to actually LEARN Spanish to at least 10th grade level; a lot of those illegals can't even READ a Spanish-language newspaper or periodical!

How marvellous it must be, to promote the language of maids and janitors.

Americans learning Spanish, suppress the immigrant population...how can they become acedemics,scientists, politicans,and buisness leaders without the ability to communicate effectively and grasp the fundementals of
education. For God's sake, Spanish cannot differentiate between a rat and a mouse.

No, French is phonetic. It's just that the phonemes are not what we are used to.
