I live in the US Southwest. There are a lot of job opportunities that open up if you’re bilingual.  When I’ve worked with crews of workers, most of the time there may be only one or two people that speak English. If I knew enough to help out, give directions or be able to participate in the conversation, that would be great.

It doesn’t matter what part of the country, not only southern California, but almost everywhere including Chicago and New Jersey have increasing numbers of Spanish speaking populations.

I drive for hours and hours and learning something would be a great use of the time while I was driving.

Like my other post mentioned, sometimes I’m in an area that only receives Spanish speaking stations and I’ll be able to at least partially understand what’s on TV.
