How come many white Americans feal the need to learn Spanish due to the number of mexican immigants invading?

Question

I mean we don't have to but it seems more and more importent for us to learn Spanish since they are coming from the south and pushing North. I'm kind of learning the language right now so. But I'm wondering why should we teach ourselves spanish. Why son't they just learn english if they want to come here so bad. If I was going to Latin America for what ever reason I'd just learn spanish for my own and their benifit. Immigration needs to be controlled before America is destroyed.

I agree Crystal, it's too bad political corectness keeps people from even voiceing their opinion

the reason why the number of spanish speaking people has grown is becuase over the last 2 decades they jumped the borders and all had 40 kids.

we should all listen to shelton he's a smart guy

I blame employers also for using jobs as bate for them to run over here. Everyone wants a worker for half price. These people need to either learn english or leave.

Answer 1

I'm not learning a bit of Spanish, if those ****.s wanna come here, they better learn he flippin language.

Answer 2

I'd like to learn Spanish just because I'm missing out on a lot by not being able to communicate with a huge number of people in my country. I know that a lot of them would like to speak better English for the same reason! Learning a new language, ESPECIALLY as an adult, is not an easy or quick process. If you're trying to learn a new language while working full time and taking care of kids, it's going to take you more than a year and you will always have an accent. What's worse is that if the native speakers of English are constantly telling you that you're stupid and inferior for not being born speaking the language like they do, you're probably going to lose your motivation to learn it. Who would want to spend so much time and energy to communicate with people who think they're too good to talk to you? I hope that everyone who speaks English, lives near a Spanish-speaking community, and has even the slightest desire to teach will consider offering low-cost English lessons. The desire to learn is there. If the desire to learn Spanish was strong among speakers of English in the area, then low-cost Spanish classes could also be arranged. Give and take.

Answer 3

Who's pointing a gun at your head? I doubt any Mexican immigrants are force feeding you Spanish vocabulary and grammar.

And why do you make it seem like we're at war with Mexico?

"...Mexican immigrants invading"

"...before America is destroyed."

A little extravagant, don't you think?

First of all, learning a language is difficult. Especially a Germanic language like... hm, I don't know, English? Have you ever tried learning German? Difficult ****, really.

I agree that if you are planning to live in a country, try to learn the native tongue. But, at the same time, give immigrants (in general, not just Mexicans) a fighting chance to learn. A lot of immigrants don't have the immediate resources, money, or time to take classes or buy over-the-top, 20 CD/DVD English courses.

Spanish is spoken by 500 million people who are both native and non-native.

There are 32 million Spanish speakers in America alone.

Mexicans want 'to come here so bad' because they live in an impoverished country with a corrupt government. They know just as good as anyone that America has more opportunity for themselves and their family.

(Just to clarify, they don't hate their country, just the system that runs it.)

Nobody is telling you that you must learn Spanish.

I live in Southern California (born and raised), I speak some Spanish, but hardly do I ever use it. If I do, it's with friends or at small restaurants. I use English nearly 99% of the time.

Therefore, your fear of a Mexican invasion where they rip Americans of their 'culture' and make us learn Spanish has led me to believe that you are utterly delusional.

Answer 4

These days you can learn how to speak Spanish over the internet. Check out this online course, it's voted as the best Spanish online course of all time: http://www.rocketlearner.com/spanish The course is very easy to follow, I was able to learn Spanish in just 3 months.

I live in New York City, I wanted to go to a Spanish language teacher but that would have cost me over $800 per month. Good thing with this internet, $800 it's a lot of money for me.

Answer 5

A larger percentage of Mexicans are learning English than Americans are learning Spanish.

Answer 6

I don't feel like I need to learn Spanish because of immigration. I would take lessons just to expand my horizons. Immigration is good for our country. ALL Americans have family who have came to this country in search of a better life. At the turn of the century, when my family came here from Ireland, they were considered the scum of the earth. Give immigrants a break. It's OK to be proud of where your from and most assimilate into American culture anyway.

Answer 7

I just have fun speaking Spanish. Most Mexicans I know speak lots more English than I do Spanish.

Answer 8

It's not because of the "number of Mexicans invading," it's because of the number of Spanish-speaking people already in the US and the fact that it's a bigger language than even English.

Answer 9

Why is it bad to learn another language that a large portion of the world speaks, when so many other countries are ahead of us when it comes to multilingual skills? "America will be destroyed"? Aren't you getting a little dramatic? This is what people said in the late 19th, early 20th century when all the Irish, southern and Eastern Europeans immigrated to the U.S. America is an immigrant country, and while I support enforcing the law, it's not Latin Americans who will destroy this country, it is bigots like you who alienate large portions of our population (including legal citizens) who will do it.

Answer 10

I'm learning Spanish - for fun !

It's easier than French & German & don't even get me started about learning Russian - try pronouncing words with 5 consecutive consonants.

Answer 11

it's for the american citizens already here. also there are alot of companies that do business with other companies across the border. so, if you want a bigger paycheck learn another language and shut the hell up
