Learning Spanish
Spanish is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, and knowing it is a great added bonus when you are, say, traveling in Europe or maybe Latin America. Even if you live in a city which has a large Spanish population and Spanish neighborhoods, restaurants and stores, like Chicago, you might feel impaired at one of these places if you don’t know the language.
