Wow. I’m a bit speechless but can’t say I was all that suprised. With growing population, it’s only a matter of time that the Hispanics become the biggest demographic and political power.
I tell my wife not to worry about Spanish because it’s easy to learn and our kids can learn it if there’s a need when they grow up. I’d like them to learn the eastern languages like Mandarin and Japanese because: 1) Spanish and the other Roman languages are useless from a practical point of view (no offense please). If you ever go there just speak English!; 2)Mandarin and Japanese are 100X more difficult to learn for an English speaker, especially adults(the opposite is true too for native speakers of those languages to learn English); 3) China and Japan are where the future opportunities are (kinda like the Chinese coming to America now to find opportunities).
