What is the point in learning Spanish?
I'm in high school and I have to have 2 credits in a foreign language. What's the point? It's just more stress.

I found 'Si Te Vas' by Shakira while searching youtube last night
and I've been listening and watching it for past 6-7 hours, continuously.
though I only understand 20% of it
her melodious voice and the Spanish guitar, oh God !!
now the night is over and I'm still watching the same video
... till my eyes shuts down due to fatigue
am I writing a poetry? or is this just sleeplessness ?
I dunno, but She ROCKS !! [and she's killing me ]
My advice is to learne languages as young as you can...it gets harder to do with age...I regret that I spent most of my time in languages classes goofing off...now I have to work twice as hard! I would love to be able to talk with my friends in their native languages.
Don't waste your time learning spanish if you don't have at least one personal reason other than they make you. I couldn't have learned spanish in high school with the learning habits I had then. (now it's easier because I don't have all those other classes that you have to study) Also in high school I never thought I was going to ever be friends with any of the mexicans at my school. Now I work at a restaurant and interact with mexican american cooks everyday. (now that I have learned some spanish I wouldn't want to go back to being in the dark) but... If you don't have the ability to 100% open yourself to the entire culture (tv, movies, news, radio, attempt to read every sign and label you see in spanish) then your kind of wasting your time. (also if you're a shy or quite person I would recommend taking sign language) Oh... flashcards flashcards flashcards. (I will say that even if you don't understand how to use spanish grammar wise you should still learn as many words as you can.) (the ironic thing is at our jr.college you don't get credit if you already have taken and passed spanish 1-2 in high school)(I didn't pass spanish in high school so I got to get college credit for taking 1-2 there)
Hola bm
Bienvenido a SpanishDict.
When you can say "Hello" (and a few other words in another language) your stress level will fall.
To get 2 credits would not take too much effort.
Chau for now.
