1. Planning a trip to a Spanish speaking country.There is certainly no
shortage of exotic and fun places to travel to, where Spanish is a
popular language. Mexico, Spain, Cuba, Panama, and Argentina are just
a few. Just imagine how much more enjoyable a vacation in any of these
countries would be if you could converse with the locals in their
native tongue. Possibly even discover some secrets not revealed in the
generic travel brochures.
2. Falling in love with someone who speaks Spanish.They say you can't
pick your family, but you can pick your friends . . . and lovers.
Maybe that cute Spanish speaking guy or girl you ride next to on the
bus every day, would really be impressed, if you were able to use a
introductory line with a few Spanish words. Careful with the
translations here though. First impressions are important.
3. Career advancement in a job that favors bilingualism.Perhaps your
company has some great opportunities, but only for bilingual speaking
employees. Or maybe you just like a transfer to another corporate
office, that happens to be in South America for a while. I'm sure
speaking Spanish would a great advantage there....
