10 Benefits Of Teaching Your Child Spanish By Julia Pimsleur

Espanol es Bueno!

Imagine being able to work at your dream job just because of a clean record and being able to speak a foreign language. About 17 million people in this country are hispanic and speak no English, so being able to speak their language is a tremendous asset and necessity so we can interact with them. Most jobs require someone who can speak Spanish because of the increasing population of Hispanics. Some jobs include a translator, a customer service representative, a police officer, a social worker, and more. Because of all of the aforementioned reasons, I think the school subject that will benefit me most later in life is Spanish. On the other hand, some people may say that Spanish is useless because you forget it upon graduation

In the article, “ 10 Benefits of Teaching Your Child Spanish,” by Julia Pimsleur, one of the listed reasons is because of job opportunities. It states, “ Knowing Spanish is always a bonus when looking for a job. The earlier children start learning, the easier it will be for them to become fluent.” This supports my argument because it supports my reason on how the sky's the limit for jobs in a child’s future if he is fluent in Spanish. Onward, another key reason on why Spanish is important is because of the cultural horizons in the United States of America. In the same article, another listed reason by Pimsleur is how giving your child access to Spanish films, music, and literature will become a lot easier. World-renowned singers like Juanes and Gloria Estefan, filmmakers such as Pedro Almodovar, and writers like Gabriel Garcia Marquez are all native Spanish speakers. Because of this, knowing Spanish will help your child understand and appreciate other cultures and Hispanic cultural contributions. On the other hand, another reason on why Spanish is a necessity is because not only is it important, it is also fun and easy to learn about the culture of Hispanics. To conclude, another reason on why Spanish is the most important is because of how many Hispanics you need to deal with in life. With all of the immigrants moved to the United States, and a bunch in New Jersey, we need to give them a chance and learn their culture and language if they need to get to know
