One of the most important tools today is our language. How can we speak without any words that come from our mouth? Well if we wanted to study our own languages and after that if we still want to know more about different languages then it’s a good idea for us. A foreign language aside from English language is a very interesting to learn since you will experience all the methods of a certain language. Like the Spanish language, it is a second common language which American people in United State use for there daily verbal communication. This is a language that sounds very interesting to study since it is very different from all languages we have. But don’t you know that Latin or Spanish language before is common language where Filipino people used for their daily communication? Yes it is true; in the past years Spanish people colonized the country of Philippines, and Spanish people are the first who discover the island of Philippines. And then after that Spanish decided to stay in the country for 333 years, and made a decision to educate native Filipino people about the Spanish\Latin language and other languages.. A language which Spanish taught for Filipino is their own language which we called it Latin a romance language. They educate Filipino people the accurate used of Latin language and also how to make a good life. And until now Filipino people still adapted some methods of living as well as the language which the Spaniards taught them.

Spanish language is a common dialect which most American uses for their second verbal language, because most Mexican people are now in United States for a reason that they decided to live permanently in this country. American government is now then deciding to teach Latin language in every school in America. Latin language is not difficult to learn with help and with our best effort we will be able to learn the correct Latin language. If you want to hear Latin words spoken by a native then try to visit the wonderful country of Spain. At first you will think that Latin is difficult to deliver in terms of communication but the truth is to learn Latin words is just like you are studying your own language.

Most of European countries are using the Spanish words. Spain is not a very huge country to explore but they own wonderful places which is one of the most visited tourist destination of all Europe. And a lot of American tourist are interested to visit the country of Spain for their summer vacation and at the same time learn the Latin words which is the Spanish people used for their daily communication. If you are one of those interested to learn then try to enroll in any Spanish school or online Spanish language. But before you decide make some research at any online Spanish language school so that you can choose the best school for you.

HERE in Spain, high school students are encouraged to learn a second language to be competitive in the regional world of Europe and the far wider scope of the globe in general. Spain, being a country with very diverse ethnicities, has its own share of dialects such as Castilian, Catalan and Basque to name a few. The Moroccan-Spanish here are also able to speak Moroccan and French. In the inland city of Salamanca, there are quite a few people who speak American English while in the coastal Mediterranean cities as well as in such islands as Las Palmas and Tenerife in the Canary archipelago and Ibiza and Palma de Mallorca here close to home, there are a few people who can speak British English and understand some Dutch or German. Other than that, especially in cities such as Madrid and Barcelona and a few rural regions like Garabandal, only mainstream Spanish is understood by the majority of the population.

How to rectify this anomaly? There is one such very unconventional answer – Internet and cable television. During the 1960s when Francisco Franco brought progress to Spain, a nationalistic fervor swept the nation. Then, people still believed that the Spanish are a supreme race and they did not like to learn another language. But with the onset of globalization at the end of the millennium also thankfully came cable television. Even to this day where majority of the stations in a cable network are dedicated solely to Spanish sports such as the battle between Real Madrid and the team from Almeria for example, cable channels from the United States and Britain have already invaded our home so to speak. If you do not want to churn out the extra time or the extra amount for tuition to acquire English at a conventional language school, then do it at home at no extra cost. Just watch English language programs the whole free time that you have. In summer, you can do it the whole two months but during school days, you still can though during weekends.

I’m flicking channels as of the moment so you’ll know what to learn. If you have a fair command of the English language at school where it is compulsory, then switching English channels serves as complement to your English education in school. I’m watching Sogecable as I’m writing and the first channel that I click is Nickelodeon. Right now, they’re showing the video of Vanesssa Hudgens’s latest track, Come Back to Me. And while watching these English programs, why not log on to the Internet as well? Search for the lyric of Vanessa Hudgens’s Come Back to Me and try to understand what message the character in the song is trying to send. If you have done so already, go back to your television remote and switch to the next channel. According to my cable decoder, the next English station after Nickelodeon is Bloomberg. Bloomberg is a television station dedicated to economic analysis and this is a good station to watch if you are planning to take up a degree in economics in college.

Other ideas for language learning are to involve yourself in online communities. You should pick a hobby which interests you and so you are motivated to go to the site and interact with its users. An example could be a poker online forum a cookery chat room - it’s a fun and interesting way to learn a language, much more so than grammar books!

THIS 2008, one of the hobbies you can probably have is learning various languages. Actually here in Salamanca, people here speak several languages aside from Spanish and the usual regional dialects. Of course, Salamanca is home to the pure unadulterated Castilian dialect which comprises the bulk of the Spanish language just like Tagalog comprises the bulk of the Filipino language and Nippongo comprises the bulk of the Japanese language. Yet people in Salamanca still desire to learn English with both accents (the rhotic and the non-rhotic) because there are a lot of English-speaking tourists here. The normal tourists come from Britain and they of course are the non-rhotic accented English speakers. But in 2007, a lot of Americans including such stars as Sigourney Weaver, Matthew Fox, William Hurt, Dennis Quaid and Zoe Saldana converge to Salamanca to shoot the movie Vantage Point. Of course, these American actors speak the English language with the rhotic accent, which is the letter r is pronounced. Aside from English, people here in Salamanca especially those working in the hospitality industry also manage to know a little bit of Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Finnish, Icelandic and German because most of the non-English visitors and expats in this city come from countries where the aforementioned languages are used. Also, Portuguese is widely learned in Salamanca of course because it is used in their neighboring country which shares location in the Iberian Peninsula, Portugal.

In the United States, if you are a Hispanic, you are lucky because you will be learning two languages – Spanish and English. If you are from New England, you may be compelled to learn both the rhotic and non-rhotic form of English because New England is the only place in the United States where the non-rhotic form of English is used. In New Orleans, majority of the people speak French but to conform to the rest of the population in the United States, people again need to learn English. Offshore in Hawaii is a diverse population. Most people speak Hawaiian, however there are people there who are Japanese-Americans and who speak Niponggo as well as Filipino-Americans who speak Tagalog. But these diverse groups of people must still need to learn English which is the most widely used language in their nation. On the other hand in Canada, half of the population speaks English while the other half speaks French. The English-speaking population needs to learn French while the French-speaking population needs to speak English.

Now let’s discuss the etymology of each country in the world as well as the etymology of the languages therein. For instance, the Spanish language is a Romance language because it originated in Rome. But Roman in turn is influenced by two ancient European languages, Frankish and Germanic which become precursors to the present day German language. The English language used in Britain and in the United States across the Atlantic is likewise a Romance language. And so is French and German.
