last year was my last year in spanish and i will say it was well worth it! lol I sit and read spanish food products, and listen to spanish people talk on movies and on tv, and its exciting to know i know what they are saying, i know for certain i have not perfected this skill, but i know enough it will help in my life for sure. So to anyone who lives in the usa, or in a spanish speaking country learning spanish or better yet any other language always has its benefits! good luck!
