The native Mexicans had to learn Spanish when the Spaniards invaded ;)

Are we being invaded?

Answer me this: How would knowing two languages hurt you? Thnk of all the opportunities that would open up for you. Where I work I make almost $5 more per hour because I can speak Spanish. I am not saying they shouldn't learn English. That is one of my pet peeves. But, as long as they are going to be here, it would behoove you to learn Spanish. I am thinking about learning French because we some clients that service areas in Canada that speak French. If I can learn the language I would get even more per hour.

It wouldn't hurt at all. That was not my point. However, I don't want to argue...there are pro's and con's to just about everything.

God Bless

I did not realize we were arguing. I thought we were discussing. LOL! The same thing happened to me the other day with StMatt. I thought we were on the verge of having a spat and he wasn't' the least bit upset! LOL!
