“
Hablo español. That is to say, I speak Spanish. Like having the choice of friends despite being stuck with your family, learning a foreign language is the same situation. You can’t pick what you’ll speak at birth, but you’ve got a choice as to what you’ll learn second. I chose Spanish.

Spanish is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world and is becoming increasingly prevalent in the United States.

But its usefulness wasn’t why I chose to learn it. That choice stemmed from watching “The Mask of Zorro” in middle school and an infatuation with Antonio Banderas.”*
