It would be cool to know a second language I guess. I could use Spanish pretty much every day here in Houston.

Puerto Rico, while not technically foreign is a great place to visit. Dominican Republic, Cuba and much of Caribbean if they are not speaking French, your Spanish can go a long way.

Might want to reread my post. I said they speak Spanish in Europe but that is a different type of Spanish.

I know the Spanish they speak in Mexico is not the same Spanish they speak in Europe.

That sounds really exotic and exciting. Speaking Spanish three hours down the road in an English speaking country.

I think maybe 1 or top 20 GDP countries speaks Spanish. Brazil is Portuguese speaking.
Basically, a bunch of shithole countries speak Spanish. Plus, nearly all educated people speak English if work for multi national company.
This whole foreign language push is a waste of time.

TIL you have to be a world traveler if you learn a second language.

Old French is different than modern day French.
Old English is different that modern day English.
They speak old Spanish in Mexico.

Exactly. I would rather visit Europe than Mexico or south Texas.

So you don't know Spanish and you're going to be the gatekeeper on how the language works around the world? Damn, you are an idiot. Would you like me to call you an idiot in Spanish as well?

You ignored the first part of my post, but yeah I’m sure some of them are. Do you know how much more of an attractive job candidate you are if you are bilingual with Spanish?

are you under the impression that a person from Mexico would not be able to communicate with a person from Spain?
please say yes
