re: #1 Kragar
I’ve been waiting for something like this for years.
There’s really no stopping it now.
There are a couple of Latino children in my g-grandson’s preschool class.
And a teaching assistant who is also Latino. She and the mothers speak Spanish with each other which doesn’t bother me at all. I had them laughing when I told my grandson, “Besame mucho” when I was leaving one day.
I’m going to encourage my g-grandson to learn a few words/phrases and perhaps do some Spanish immersion at a later date (assuming I’m still around), and maybe other languages, too. Why do Americans resist other languages so much?
I have hope, though, and it’s with the kids. : )
