Sorry guys, had a middle-aged moment. My eyes didn't catch the mistake but my brain kept bugging me about it. Checked and sure enough I was wrong and made a fix. I drank a full package of vitamin milk this morning. If you see a mistake- call me out on it. Thanks~
More Days of the Week cognates.... You can see that nearly every day is a close to true cognate on this list.
Saturday and Sunday are slightly different , but I have underlined some similarities. I hope this helps you . And I hope this helps you consider learning more than one foreign language.
More often than not, I believe most of us were forced to learn a foreign language because we only had one or maybe two options to pick from in public school. We really didn't get to pick WHICH language we wanted to learn. That hinders learning imho. Homeschool kids have more options. Period.
Just this last week, I have had two adult friends start learning new foreign languages. Brava!
As we get older, we have more choices. The Internet helps us have more choices also. Lots of free ways to learn on the web. My local school district ONLY offers Spanish as a foreign language option.
The way things have been politically, regarding illegal aliens in the US, I'm thinking it's about time to offer more choices.
Yes, I believe Spanish is a good choice if that's the language you're most likely to use for your workplace. I chose it over French because I thought I'd never have an opportunity to use it. I should have looked forward and MADE an opportunity for French. Anyway, when I had a CHOICE, I picked the German language to learn. Don't get me wrong, I happened to love learning Spanish. I just wish more schools would give options to their future world travelers.
