Alex, I seriously don't understand half of the stuff you type up. You need a new keyboard.
@Farq: I've been in Spanish for 6 years and it's helped me so much. I know it so well that when I visit Italian sites, I can also read them, too. I also have a strong grasp on Latin which, in turn, strengthens my English skills.
How would that be a waste of time to learn? I understand that some people may never use it but the percentage is very minute and would include people like game testers and people who won't ever socialize or get married. (AKA Nerds)

Well i read a article about how 4/5 people who learned spanish in high school completely forgot before their last year in college.
The reason i think its useless to learn a second language when you know english is because english is the universal language, it has well over 1 billion speakers and used for any business transaction.
Now you could make a very good case for learning spanish, but for me its a waste of time because as i said before i believe we could spend that same time learning science and technology which are much for relevant to our daily lives.

now i wont deny that learning a second language can lead to greater brain functionality, but i just think in todays society it is very useless if you already know english.
Well over 130 countries teach english in their school, even IN IRAN, WHERE THE GOVERNMENT DESPISES AMERICA THEY STILL REQUIRE YOU TAKE LEARN ENGLISH!!!
Imagine, in 50 years any other language will be irrelevant

Oh and English is important for u guys cause ur american... if a person was from an abroad country, then he should seriously learn his language...

ALSO : I believe that a person should learn the language of the country he staying in, cause otherwise he'd be making it a hall of a job for other people to understand him.

Welll, Alex, you can go eat a crumpet!!
@Farq: I understand that there could be more useful things to learn and I understand that you can forget the language, however, you still retain the rules and background to the lanuage. For Spanish and German, you learn to associate certain words with others and make these unconscious connections that cannot be forgotten unless you take a heavy trip on acid. These connections allow you to think more abstractly and create more vivid schemas for events, accounts, scenarios, and everything else. You create associations and use grouping a lot easier and faster- Therefore, you think more efficiently.
I would know. ;) I'm in College-level Psychology.
And 130 countries teach English? Well, way over 130 teach Spanish and Chinese. Chinese is the most spoken language. (Not widest, but most spoken.)

Well i know 2 language fluently and learning my third, and i completely agree with you.
But that still to me doesnt justify forcing students to learn it.
