In America, we are used to the world wanting to speak English. After all, the United States is a leader in the world economy, and it is a benefit for many throughout the world to learn English. This creates an attitude in this country where many think that learning languages outside of English isn’t important.
However, learning multiple languages is a benefit for everyone, including Americans, and I believe our schools should focus on teaching dual-language emersion, and, specifically, we should be teaching English alongside Spanish.
