[quote=Anonymous]I use Spanish often and many friends have had to scramble to learn as adults for various reasons (spouse gets a job in a south American country or Mexico, they get a job that is easier with some spanish, they have to train spanish speakers...). I will admit that speaking Spanish is getting more frequent than the past couple of decades but Im around more people. I never hear about someone getting an opportunity through speaking Mandarin and Ive known people who have to do business in China (more in Singapore or Malaysia) and they speak zero Mandarin. I speak a little Mandarin among other languages because languages are easier for me to learn (because I grew up bilingual). To me Spanish is of greater worth for a wider net of fields (energy, infrastructure...) that would do business with the U.S.. [/quote]
