[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I studied Spanish and loved it. But I learned French while working abroad as an adult. I wish I'd learned French first. French is so much harder. My adult brain could only get so far. In comparison you could pick up Spanish in your sleep. [/quote]

Spanish is an easy language to learn badly -- like English, which is also an easy language to learn badly. Learning Spanish well is not easy.[/quote]

Absolutely true! My point is Spanish -- in my opinion -- is easier to learn than French. I would suggest having a child start with French and learn Spanish afterwards.  And why are we discussing learning French OR Spanish. I truly hope my child learns French AND Spanish AND something else. Outside of the U.S. people are multilingual not just bilingual.

Then how come every immigrant from Central America can't speak English? Why do we have ESOL. Why do we have "For English, press 1" in our own country?  Give me a break on most people are multilingual. Maybe in a few rich areas of the world but it is not the norm.  [/quote]

It is possible to be multilingual and not speak English. True fact.

Also, I'm laughing at the idea that "every immigrant from Central America can't speak English". Every immigrant, huh? I'll have to tell that (in English) to my co-worker from El Salvador.[/quote]
