I live in quebec and a few weeks ago I heard on the radio that spanish is now the #1 language in terms of growth, and that many high schools in Quebec are running out of spanish teachers beacuse the demand is very high. Do you thinks the growth will continue?

Yes, because of NAFTA you will see Spanish become more common for business because of dealing with Mexico. Also, with the large number of temp. workers coming to Canada from South America, Spanish is becoming a need to know language.
I foresee Spanish, Chinese and Japanese to continue to grow especially in schools now that the University requirements are for a second language (not just French). Outside of Quebec and small pockets of Canada, one of those 3 languages is far more useful to a Canadian then French is.

Yes I believe so....also Québec is a French speaking province and French is quite similar to Spanish it makes it easy to learn as a second or third language.

Who cares? Quebec won't be part of Canada much longer.

I think it will continue to spread everywhere, not just in Canada.
