[quote=Anonymous]Our child is in a Spanish immersion program and we like that there are real opportunities in our neighborhood (Mount Pleasant, DC) for her to practice at many businesses on Mount Pleasant Street. But beyond the immediate opportunities in the DC region, we thought it would be helpful if she ever lived in South Florida, Texas or Southern California, Arizona and New Mexico where the percentage of Spanish speakers is even higher. And any look at demographic predictions makes it seem like an even more useful language for her to know when she is my age. That said, we'd have taken immersion in a different language if that was all that we could access for the cognitive and cultural benefits. Like the law school grad who doesn't end up practicing law, I think there are benefits to their brain even if they don't use the language that much later on.[/quote]
