while he is most certainley a *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**E dited*, he does bring up a valid point....

It is a pretty useful skill to learn other languagues...especially if its started at a young age. speaking bits and peices of several languages has certainley helped me over the years, and im not really fluent in anything (though i can read german to some degree)...the better basis of understanding a young mind has will only improve it in later years.

But hes still a *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**E dited*.

[300rman]

yes....learning a different language can be useful. but that isnt why he wants people to learn it.......

[herdfandave]

Tell us why he wants our children to learn it then please?

[Kilborg]

Typical political move....Great way to secure votes... especially minority votes. Moves like this will also make others notice....kids education is a big deal and alot of people listen. Is he actually going to make a difference or is this simply a ploy to gain support?

Probably both.

[herdfandave]

"typical political move".. yes education is a big deal, but i think learnin a 2nd language would be a good move, especially at a young age.. Can you honestly not see the benefits?

[ATC-Eric]

I wish I spoke another language...........

[The Goat]

exactly eric...i hate the guy. but every kid in america needs to grow up at least bilingual.

the average belgium citizen speaks 4...fluently.

idk, i think we should just aspire to be more.

he's gaining mexican voters, and why spanish? why not french? german?

it should be A good reason for some one to learn spanish,french,german, but it is because of the increase of immagrants from diarea land....

[ATC-Eric]

I wont argue about not liking the guy, he's a freakin tool shed!



But I can shed some light right here

and why spanish? why not french? german?

....

If you learn German, when are you going to get the chance to use it? I would like to learn german for the hell of it, but in all reality if your going to learn another language, make it something you can use once in a while.

With the way the country is filling up with mexicans, it makes sense to say learn spanish over french.

[300rman]

press 1 for english........go piss off it should automatically be english and give the option for spanish at the very end of the options menu.

[200x newby]

Why make our kids learn Spanish? How bout make the Mexicans learn English? They came to OUR country to change THEIR lives for the BETTER! Not to change OUR'S for the WORSE!

[3Razors]

I 2nd that! We speak english here! You wanna come to americe then you learn english, if you feel the need to move to mexico for some reason then learn spanish.
