Answer 7

Taking Spanish in middle school will help you be better prepared for it in high school when you're REQUIRED to take foreign language.

Plus, nowadays knowing Spanish gets you a job over someone else who doesn't know how to speak it.  We have an increasing Hispanic population in the U.S. and it'll really help you and maybe someone else if you are bilingual in Spanish and English.

1)Spanish is the second most-common language in the United States after English. There are more Spanish speakers in the U.S. than there are speakers of French, Hawaiian, and the Native American languages combined. According to the 2006 American Community Survey conducted by the United States Census Bureau, Spanish is the primary language spoken at home by over 34 million people aged 5 or older.[1] The U.S. is home to more than 40 million Hispanics,

2)¿Entiende Ud. español? If your answer to, "Do you understand Spanish?" is "no," get ready to be left behind. With the surge over the past decade in the Hispanic population in the United States, speaking Spanish is becoming more of a necessity than a choice in many parts of the country. From feedlot managers in Nebraska to New York City stockbrokers, Americans are scrambling to learn a language that is now spoken by many of the35.3 million Hispanics in the United States.

3)Hispanics outnumber blacks as the largest minority group in the USA for the first time since the government began counting the nation's populatiGrowing marketon more than two centuries ago.How they're changing America ......."In 50 years, we'll probably be using different categories to classify the U.S. population," Passel,  demographer at the Urban Institute in Washington, says. "The boundaries are going to become much fuzzier. ... We don't know in that sense what it'll mean to be Hispanic in 50 years."

So, only in middle school? or prefer to move ...abroad ....to learn it?
