Do I have to learn Spanish because of immigration?
InfraRed asked:
I have been speaking english and learning German in high school. I will be going to college soon. My teachers tell me that instead of German, I need to learn Spanish because massive amounts of hispanics are comming here every day. Should I switch over?

well, you dont have to but it will help… learning a new language that you’re more exposed to is definitely a plus
when i was in hawaii, i used to take japanese (coz there’s a lot of japanese tourists there)… but when i moved here in california, i learned that i should have taken spanish instead… but you know, im learning little by little from my surrounding ^_^ ….

unfortunately, you should switch as we are under attack.

No you shouldn’t be required to learn any language that you do not choose. You should however learn the language if you go to Mexico.

This has nothing to do with immigrants, you must make a choice of what language will benefit you more. If you plan on leaving the States to go live in Germany than I would say stick to German, if you plan to live in a heavily hispanic populated area than of course Spanish would be the better choice. It is true that immigrants regardless of where they come from should learn English, but that is very unrealistic considering immigrants usually end up in communities with large numbers of immigrants from the same country.

for you, possibly. for me HELL NO!!!

You don’t have to. It would be handy.
Personally I don’t want to, out of protest, and the fact that they should be learning English. I’d rather learn French since my husband and son speak French. (Actually it’s French Canadian for my son.)
I will probably learn. When I’m standing by so Hispanics that are being rude by talking in Spanish to themselves, so that people don’t understand them, I’ll know what they are saying. It might be interesting.

No,
You will have to learn Spanish because of Illegal invasion that our elected officials blithely ignore.
