Are You Ready to Join In?

I came across a neat, short You Tube video on the history of the Spanish language. I want to give credit to PimsleurApproach who I assume created this video. Take a quick look . . .




There is one major error in it at around 00:59 where they say the Moors invaded Spain in the 18th century. That is incorrect. The Moors actually invaded near the start of the 8th century. Also, at about 01:45, the banner above the castle spells the Spanish city of Granada as Grenada. Besides these errors and the implication that Spanish was imposed on the regions they explored and took over, the video was well put together.

Knowing that Spanish is growing and will become widely spoken here in the United States, are you more or less likely to learn Spanish? What are your reasons for learning Spanish? Or, what are you not interested in learning Spanish? What obstacles are in your way to learning this beautiful language? Click on the Comment link below and add to the conversation.

¡Hasta luego!
