I was thinking about the discussion we had in class on Tuesday about learning different languages. When I go to appointments at the dental clinic on Central Avenue in Dunkirk, I notice there are many Hispanic or Latino people that primarily speak Spanish, not English. The clinic also has signs or notices in both the English and Spanish language, and there is at least one person working at the front desk that speaks Spanish fluently. I think it is beneficial to learn a language besides English, and it would behoove of people who speak Spanish or any other foreign language to learn ours as well. I took four and a half years of Spanish (half of a year in Junior High and the rest in High School) and enjoyed learning it, but I think it would have been great had I been exposed to it at an earlier age.
