your reason for learning spanish?

Question

Hello everyone!! So,temme why do you want to learn spanish? Is there a particular reason or is it just for fun?

Hi welcome to the forum. Don't forget people are learning English here too, you need to use capital letters for the beginning of sentences and for countries and languages. And what on earth is temme? - MaryMcc, Jan 18, 2012

Answer 1

Because I thought it was cool. Which turned out to be a good decision, because 2 years after I started learning Spanish my family moved to Venezuela. That worked out well.

Wow! Now that really worked out well for you! :) - snowyklutz, Jan 17, 2012

Answer 2

I hope to someday be a police detective in NYC, or an FBI agent, and in both of these jobs being bi- (or tri-!) lingual is very advantageous. Plus, I'd like to be able to publish fanfiction in Spanish as well as English and expand my audience. I chose Spanish because my dad spoke some to me as a kid, and I find myself remembering more of my childhood every time I learn more Spanish.

Great reasons. Buena suerte, and keep up the good work. - KevinB, Jan 17, 2012

Great reasons. So.we have a potential FBI agent here! ;) And about the publishing fanfiction thing- You're a writer? And if yes, then good luck with your book. :) - snowyklutz, Jan 17, 2012

Answer 3

I've always wanted to learn it, but never buckled down to do it. Now, the company that I work for is owned by a company in Monterrey, Mexico. I want to be able to communicate more effectively with the people that work in the main office. I was lucky and got to take a trip there in November, and that really helped my Spanish. I was only there for 1 week, but I felt that I progressed more in that week than in the prior 9 months studying. Of course, without the prior 9 months, I would have been totally lost there.

So, why are you learning Spanish?

I'm a student. There is actually no "need" for me to learn spanish. But I'm learning spanish just for the love of it. :) Anyway,it was nice knowing about your reason. Good day! :) - snowyklutz, Jan 17, 2012

Answer 4

I'm learning English. There's not a particular reason for me, but I can say some things: 1) Once upon a time I knew some American students who taught us (some friends and me) some English (these students were great people!), then I realized I really liked the language and I started to learn it by myself, using the internet and that stuff. 2) English as a second language is REALLY useful for getting a job. I mean, it's a great professional tool. 3) I'm studying engineering and, as you may know, there're a lot of texts and books that are only found in English. (I didn't have to read a book in English yet, but I have read many texts from the internet).

There're more reasons that I can't list now but I think those are enough to learn it, don't you think?

I knew* some...language* and...using the* internet and stuff...may know, there are*....(textbooks?)...*(I haven't had to read a book...) - Goldie_Miel, Jan 17, 2012

Answer 6

Learning a second language has always been one of my goals. I chose Spanish because it's a beautiful language, and also because offers the most opportunity for finding people with whom to practice.

I love reading the news in my local edition of El Mundo.

Even i have the same reason except that its not like i can practice spanish with people out here! ;) - snowyklutz, Jan 17, 2012
