Why I want to learn Spanish...
I want to learn Spanish because it will help further my career in the future. According to the article “Why English is No Longer Enough” by Chris Cummings “In health care, bilinguals doctors and nurses are better equipped to attend to their patients,” meaning that being bilingual would give me a better chance of receiving a job along with earning 5-20% more per hour compared to my monolingual associates. Also, being bilingual will increase my cognitive skills which include problem solving and and help ward off dementia at an older age according to “Why Bilinguals Are Smarter” by Yudhijit Bhattacharjee. Being bilingual will give me a chance to communicate with a larger group of people, will make it easier to learn more languages, and will increase my likeliness of getting a good job.
