Americans Need to Step Up to the Plate and Learn Spanish Today

Learning Spanish is becoming the fastest growing language trend in terms of numbers of students and its search popularity on the internet, the reason for this is simple, please allow me to explain;
The Spanish speaking world has grown greatly over the past four decades not only in number but also in area; the US for example now has the fifth largest Spanish speaking population in the world, yet still does not recognize Spanish as an official language.
The mother country, Spain has become an economic power in its own right having moved on since the end of Franco’s days in the 70′s and now has a greater GNP than Russia, India or Canada. It is unbelievable to think that the English speaking world has not really tapped into this Spanish speaking market with any great vigor as yet, but that might be changing..
Unless you have been stuck down a mineshaft for the last 12 months or have just awaken from a coma you should be aware of the economic turmoil the world is currently in the midst of. This financial meltdown hasn’t JUST affected the English speaking world but it has certainly had the greater impact upon countries like the US and the UK.
The smarter companies have now started investing in Spanish language training for their staff as the Spanish speaking consumer is being seen as the savior to this crisis and this need for bi-lingual speakers has opened up new opportunities in an employment market that has been void of good news for some time with job losses being reported on a daily basis it seems.
So my advice to you is to speak to your employer, see if they offer help with the cost of language training or if they are looking at recruiting to enter Spanish markets you may be pleasantly surprised with their answer.
Even if this isn’t an option open to you, learning Spanish is still easy enough to do under your own steam, and the easiest and most cost effective way to do so is by using a good interactive online course, which are easy enough to source on the internet.
So, to conclude:

1. Companies are beginning to wake up and realize that there are millions of potential customers out there that they’ve simply ignored because they were concentrating solely on an English speaking consumer.
2. Many companies have concentrated their dealings with fellow English speaking or highly developed countries and have not looked into trading with Spanish or Latin American companies.
3. Increased job opportunities both at home and abroad through linguistic training
I’m sure this list could keep growing with the reasons why Americans (and English speakers in general) need to learn Spanish, but it will stop at these three for now.
So, there you have it, you may now understand why certain high profile individuals, (mentioning no names, Mr. President) have verbally gesticulated recently about the need to learn Spanish so, don’t make excuses and don’t wait…Americans, step up to the plate and start to learn Spanish today.

!Hola, Amigos! $41.29 Latinos are the fastest growing population in the United States, and are creating a large bilingual market. Librarians are often eager to attract, serve, and retain Latino patrons, and library services are sorely needed by the Latino community; but it takes more than adding a few Spanish-language books to the collection to meet those needs. Besides the cultural and language barriers library personnel encounter when interacting with this community, libraries generally lack the funding to engage in multicultural advertising as well as the time and specialized personnel to do it. This book provides a practical, easy-to-follow guide to creating a bilingual-friendly facility that will attracts Latino users. Hola, amigos!: A Plan for Latino Outreach offers users a systematic, orderly plan that directs outreach activity with worksheets, discussion reports, and easy-to-follow schedules, and more than 100 marketing ideas, tips, and examples from libraries around the country that can easily be incorporated into day-to-day activities. Many of the strategies can be applied to outreach of other minorities as well.

1898 $15.95 In this remarkable evocation of the American past, David Traxel chronicles the extraordinary events of 1898 — a year without rival in United States history for its extravagant adventure and far-reaching significance. Traxel’s account centers upon his vivid portrayal of America’s first foray into international military affairs, the Spanish-American War. Spurred on by the yellow journalism of Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst, the United States entered the war that garnered the nation Puerto Rico and the Philippines and initiated the ascension of a little-known assistant secretary of the navy, Theodore Roosevelt.But while the Rough Riders were capturing the nation’s attention abroad, bloody battles were occurring within the nation’s own borders. Coal workers and company guards fought in lllinois, while racial conflict led to bloodshed in North Carolina, and in Minnesota the last battle between Native Americans and the U.S. Army resulted in the defeat of government troops. Radical advances in technology led to less violent but equally important changes as the production of the first gasoline-powered car heralded a new era, and the first million-dollar advertising campaign (for Uneeda Biscuits) revealed the growing importance of marketing to a country in the midst of urbanization. An important contribution to the nation’s cultural history, 1898 is a fascinating account of the definitive year that foretold the American Century.
