This is not about speaking Spanish, but it is about learning a language.
Once I thought I knew a lot of French. I was a junior in college and was spending the summer in France. My flight brought me to London, where I spent three days. When I called from there to comnnect with the family friends who would receive me in Paris, I thought I was speaking French, but the operator could not understand me, nor could I understand her. It was very frustrating that what I could read and write very well, I could not hear or say.
I want to study Spanish because it will be very useful later on in my life. I will be able to speak to people who speak Spanish and it will be easy to get a job. At my basketball practices a few of my teammates speak fluent Spanish and they would speak to each other in Spanish. They would also talk to their parents in Spanish. Our neighbor is also bilingual. My dad took Spanish at college and spoke to him sometimes.
Mostly I want to study Spanish because it’ll be easier to get a job being bilingual. It will set me up to possibly learn other languages and enable me to travel more places and converse with more people. It also sounds beautiful; it being one of the romance languages. As for experiences with fluent speakers; our next door neighbor speaks Spanish and my dad speaks some. Other than that though it is mostly just listening to people in a grocery store or the library slinging Spanish at each other.
