One of the best investments in yourself today is to learn Spanish. It doesn’t matter if you’re going on a trip to a Spanish speaking country, looking for a new job, or are a business owner. All will benefit tremendously who learn to speak Spanish. Knowing a second language is a prized and sought-after skill.
The first reason for learning Spanish language or any foreign language is that it presents the opportunity to earn more money and opens the door to better job opportunities. Here’s on example: If you work in a hospital with many Spanish speaking patients, how can you accurately communicate with them in administering care? Lack of precise communication can lead to lawsuits. Here’s another example: What if you are up for promotion in your company but one of the requirements is that you have the ability to speak to a group of Spanish speaking employees in order to manage them?
The second reason is that of the perception of increased intelligence. It’s socially accepted that a person who speaks a second language is perceived to be more intelligent than those who do not have this skill. The majority of Europeans not only speaks their native language but also speak English as well as other foreign languages. That’s one reason why Americans are perceived to be less intelligent than Europeans.
The third reason to learn how to speak Spanish is that you will have more opportunities socially. You’ll make new friends which will expand your opportunities for business and you’ll be invited to more social and business activities.
The last reason to learn beginner Spanish is the increased enjoyment and opportunities you’ll get when traveling. For instance, if you go to Cancun, you can more effectively barter with vendors to get better deals on products that you want to bring home. What if you have a medical emergency? The medical staff would greatly benefit if you could speak their language. Also, you’ll get much better service in restaurants and stores when you can read menus, signs, and other directions.
So here are the four reasons to learn Spanish that we just covered:

My friends are mexican and philipino and i want to be able to comunicate with them(not that i can’t they speak english)in spanish and philipino. I want to learn those languges easy, how do i learn them?
I just want to learn japanese because I think it is cool.
Well firstly you need to ask yourself how you learn best.
A lot of people say they learnt Japanese better through a tutor rather than learning on their own, but for me that wasn’t the case. You can get a tutor if you want to, but i’ll tell you how i am learning it.
There are two sites i familiarised myself with at first.
The first site was http://www.learn-japanese.info/ or ‘Nihongo o Narau’ as it’s otherwise known. Obviously, learning the alphabet would be your first priority (just the hirigana and katakana… ignore the kanji for now) Make sure you can read and write the alphabet before you go on to the rest of your studies. I ignored the vocabulary section at first and went straight into the grammer section. I learnt from that section, how to structure my sentences and use sentence particles. After that, i used the vocabulary part of the site to build up on my list of known japanese words. Once i did that i used a slightly more complex site which you can access here: http://www.guidetojapanese.org/learn/grammar
This site is full of grammer too, but it’s more complex. It tells you how to make bigger sentences and elaborate things in more detail. This site however, uses Katakana and Hirigana, so make sure you can read those before you move on to the intermediate site. By the way, the Kanji used on this site is everywhere! But to see the words in hirigana or katakana, just hover your mouse pointer over the kanji and it will translate for you.
Once you know everything on those two sites and can structure your own sentences, it’s a case from then on, of building up your vocabulary and Kanji (the chinese characters).
There are also things you can do in your spare time to inhance your learning:
1 – Watch anime, this will help your Japanese when it comes to speaking and abbreviating words. If you have a wide knowlege of Japanese words, it can also help with your sentence structure… on top of that, it’s fun.
2 – Read japanese Manga, i’ll give you the link to a site the offers this freely, if you ask for it. This can help you build up your reading skills and even earn you a few ideas of how words are written in kanji.
3 – Actually want to learn it. If you don’t then you will lose faith in picking up the language because it is difficult. Also, make sure you surround yourself with it, either through posters, books or a daily dose of anime… just make sure it’s a part of your EVERYDAY life, and you should be able to learn it with focused ease.
im wanting to become a cop and am trying to be bilingual, u guys know any sites?
Rosetta Stone is considered pretty good, but you have to pay a small amount/Good Luck and congratulations.
