What is more important for Americans? To learn Spanish as Second Language or, Hebrew as second language?

Question

Is it more important to learn Latino Culture, Spanish Language and Catholic faith...
or
Hebrew language, zionist politics, and atheist doctrines?

Is the USA a Christian country?
Do they follow JesusChrist or the Devil ?

Answer 1

I think it should be illegal to speak Spanish or any other foreign language in the U.S. except for the purpose of learning it for other countries. So you speak it in your class but once you leave it's only English. Why, because America is supposed to be a mixing pot, not several pots. All culture needs to assimilate to the Amerian culture if your going to live in America. A diverse culture is a good thing but diversity in general is bad.

Answer 2

I fail to find any correlation between the questions you asked.

1) I don't think that either language is more important for Americans to learn. Americans should speak a fair English; other than that (second, third or forth languages)- it is all up to each individual personally and may serve different purposes. Jewish Americans may be more interested in Hebrew, while Latin Americans may be more interested in Spanish.

2) Again, neither (and I say "neither" while I really don't understand the weird division of two possibilities) is "more important". Each American should learn whatever he wants.

3) The USA is not a Christian country:

4) Most of the Americans are Christian, so I'd say Jesus (unless there's some kind of a catch in this question?).

Answer 3

Ther are many more latin speakers in the world; they are from many different geographies and cultures... they hold great promise... we are America... of the America's the next imporant languages here are Spanish, Portugues, and French.

Hebrew I'm sure is a very lovely ancient language with limited modern usage. No doubt it is important to understanding and also learning Arabic. Semetic languages in philology must be related. If one doesnt have an extreme religious need for Hebrew or Arabic, these become important languages only to the extent that we as America have business, and diplomatic contacts with these regions. Afterall it is also 2007, not only are there human translators but there are computer translations as well.

Peace,Paz, Shalom, Salom

Answer 4

Learning Spanish is definitely more important for many Americans than learning Hebrew. This is probably because Jews only account for 3-4% of America's population (that is an accurate statistic). The US is a Christian country in the sense that it was founded by Christians and its laws, principles, and moral beliefs are rooted in the Christian faith. However, the US is not exclusively Christian and is inclusive to all faiths. I don't understand the last question, but i guess the answer is no, the US does not encourage devil worship.

Answer 5

Spanish is more practical, since our neighbors to the south speak that language, and far more people speak it than Hebrew.
It is important to learn all of it, so that you may understand many people.
More people in the USA identify with Christianity than any other religion.

Answer 6

Why are you insulting? I'm catholic, Spaniard and I keep living in Spain. So I'm fond of some American people want to learn my native language. But I don' understand the motive why you say the Hebrew are followers of the Devil. Besides learning any language is fantastic

Answer 7

If you're going to learn a second language, it's usually out of need. Sorry, but I had no real need to learn Spanish, but I had a need to learn German (a good portion of older scientific journals are in German, whereas almost no scientific publications are in Spanish).

Answer 8

I agree with Marianne. Totally stupid questions. First Americans should learn English. Second who cares about religion as a basis for a Country. Religion is a personal right and our nation was founded on the basis of personal religious freedom. As such it makes no difference how a person chooses to form beliefs that can not be supported by absolute fact and are basically supported by personal faith.

Answer 9

Just a little hateful today aren't we?
Its not an either/or situation, and you can keep your Catholic faith, and your Latino culture without making it the only way to go, since a good many Baptists, Episcopalians, Lutherans, Unitarians, Anglicans, Calvinists who also feel that this country and its English language are all we need.
No one has ever asked us to learn Hebrew or follow Jewish culture or Zionist politics. No one has ever asked us to become Atheistic either.
Why should we learn the Catholic faith just because you follow it, no wonder we look at the influx of those of Latino extraction with a question mark, you don't want to join us, you want us to join you. And cloaking that in a mix of anti Jewish, anti Israel nonsense manages to overlook the fact that the Arabs the Jews are fighting are also our enemies, Its Arab Muslims who are doing the bombing of Americans and others here and abroad not your much hated Israelis.
Who do you follow? The Muslims?

Answer 10

The American people learn what they want. It is called America (Last time I checked) If you dont want to learn English then get out. I hate waiting extra time at McD's to get my food cause Hector cant speak MY COUNTRIES native language.

Second we were founded as a christen/catholic country but the job of fredom of religion is you can worship whatever you would like. So Worship whatever you want and have a nice day :)
