[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With every language there is a new culture to learn.  Which culture do you think your child is most interested in?[b] I took French over Spanish because I enjoyed a European culture more than Latin America. [/b] Although, Spanish would have been more useful in communicating with some workers we have had at the house.  Another family member learned Farsi (they were told it's more useful) and now gets sent to the Middle East all the time even though they request other parts of the world.  They wish they learned a different language because they dislike the Middle East and its culture.  Not to say it's bad, they just that they don't like it.  Think about which culture your child would enjoy more and they will enjoy learning that language more.  Sometimes learning languages is about usefulness, other times it's about what you enjoy.  With so many languages in the world, why not learn the one you would enjoy the most?[/quote]

You do realize that Spanish comes from... wait for this...Europe, right?[/quote]

The Spanish taught in public schools in the US is more often than not Latin American Spanish and culture. Thankfully they don’t teach Canadian French. [/quote]
