Learning another language is important because it opens up new opportunities to better understand and see the world. Learning Spanish as a second language is especially useful today because the number of Spanish-speakers around the world is exponentially expanding. It is important to be able to communicate with people and learn about their culture, which is the experience students get in Spanish class. Spanish class opens the door to the Spanish-speaking world and can lead to unique experiences and career opportunities.
