Spanish
is quickly becoming America's second language after English. Many businesses
and stores are taking the initiative to print information in Spanish as well as
English and even in other foreign language texts. Many jobs now require that
employees be bilingual in Spanish and English. And of course, there's a large
Hispanic and Latino population who speaks English as a second language. I'm a
former ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher. One of the best
conversational language activities was to role-play dialog games. I or the
students would begin in our native language and the other would respond in that
language, and back and forth. Needless to say I acquired a fair amount of
Espanol along the way.
