I just don't see why spanish is so popular, or even still tought in highschools when it is virtually useless.


[quote:2ltqms2y]Mind-boggling.
Why ? IT IS USELESS. I can see why they might teach Turkish in swedish schools, because those countries have love affairs with each others sky resorts... But besides old people moving to mexico to retire... besides panama, i can't think of any major event (in the past few years) that has DIRECTLY affected a spanish speaking country and America.[/quote:2ltqms2y]

We... border... Mexico... so... we... should... learn... their... language... to... easily... communicate... with... them...

Name one country that doesn't teach the language of neighboring nations in their schools.
