Sólo una corrección. (Por lo demás: ¡Muy bien!)

I had to take a foreign language in college and Spanish is both practical and beautiful. It is a subject I never get tired of studying.

[Sancho Panther]

In 1970 I went with two friends to Lloret de Mar on the Costa Brava for two weeks. We shared a table in the hotel dining room with two lads from Manchester. One day one of them made the remark "We British are very ignorant - we travel everywhere and expect everybody to speak English!". I was outraged at this and resolved to remedy it.

On my return I began to follow the BBC's imaginatively named radio course "Starting Spanish". I got on well with this, it was a good course.

The next year we went to the Costa Blanca and I was pleased how well I managed with my fairly limited Spanish. So I continued studying.

The following couple of years we went to Sitges near Barcelona and I couldn't understand a word in spite of my advancing studies! Then on my third visit I learned they weren't speaking Spanish at all, but Catalán!

On a later visit to Sitges I was on the beach and met a charming señorita, and two years later we were married and soon after we had a daughter who herself lived for fourteen years in Spain.

She is now back in the UK and has just made us grandparents.

AND ALL BECAUSE OF AN OFF-THE-CUFF REMARK IN A SPANISH HOTEL FORTY-TWO YEARS AGO!

A mi me gusta porque, aunque hablo mejor ingles que español, el español es mi primer lenguaje. Me hace falta hablar con otra gente latina.

La mayoría de los padres de mis estudiantes hablan Español solamente. Es muy importante por mi trabajo. También creo que es bueno saber otro idioma.

También es una diversión.

This is exactly the same for me. I think it's a bit pathetic how so many people in loads of other countries are bilingual and yet in England we only speak English, I don't know any English people who can speak another language.

Cuando era más pequeña, tenía un profesor de Colombia que era la persona más sincera y amable que conocí (hasta hoy ). Empecé con los estudios para encontrar personas parecidas

[Asma]

Estoy aprendiendo el español porque yo estudio los idiomas en la universidad y hace 2 años tuve que elegir dos idiomas para estudiar ..me gusta el español muchísimo xD porque tenía muchos amigos de Colombia,México y España ..me hicieron gustarlo y por eso elegí el español como el primer idioma y ruso como el segundo xD y ahora estoy aprendiendo Español y ruso pero todavía no puedo hablar bien xD

[El Gato]

I'm trying to learn Spanish because I've always wanted to learn another language and Spanish is practical, it is more likely to open job opportunities. The experience of trying to learn Spanish has been both exhilarating and frustrating.

It was a toss up between Spanish and Italian for me. I took Spanish though because i love Afro-Cuban music.

I live in Texas. Im a collage student and I had a choice between art appreciation and spanish. One of those is actually useful in Texas. It seems like one semester probably wont be enough though...
