In FL - Spanish is a mandatory subject that has to be taken in in order to graduate high school. Lots of laborers; roofers, plumbers, electricians, pest control, lawn maintenance, are predominately Spanish speaking. Whether or not they are here ILLEGALLY is unknown. I used to flat out ask the contractor if all of his employees were here legally. Now I just wait to see who they send out. If I call a company and the receptionist has a Spanish accent, I pass. I have had people come to my door after I've hired them, expecting English speaking workers only to find them speaking Spanish and unable to communicate in English. I have had to call a few companies and fire them.
Maybe I am too crass but this is America. We speak English. If you come to work on my property, you need to be able to communicate. :patriot:

French is a beautiful language and I took it in high school. I used to be fairly fluent; reading and understanding better than being able to speak the language.

Hi @libertybele
I had 4 years of Spanish in HS- and one year in College. In grad school I had to pass a translation exam in Spanish to graduate.
I thought I would go to Paris in 2020- obviously I didn't. I just got comfortable doing 15-30 minutes a day learning French it's become almost automatic now.
I don't think I will be going to Europe anytime soon but a girl can hope, right ?

@Gefn Wow. I am very impressed. You are fluent in Spanish and now learning French as well. That's awesome! What language program are you using to learn French??
You have inspired me to take up either learning Spanish or continuing to learn French (it's been a really long time though). I have been telling myself for years that I need to learn another language and just have kept putting it off.
As for your trip to Europe -- yes, absolutely there's always hope. happy77
