Why learn another language?
The Laguna Beach Coastline Pilot went to Laguna Beach High School and
asked Spanish class students the question, ‘What’s important about
learning another language?’
“Learning about other people’s culture and how they act in a
family situation.”
KATY MANEE, 16
“It’s pretty interesting, it helps to know about other people, the
way other people speak, instead of being some guy who doesn’t know
anything. Plus it’s pretty fun.”
J.P. OLSON, 15
“Under- standing it, you have to understand certain things,
different ways to say things -- it’s nice to know all of them. You
need to understand if you go somewhere the different cultures, need
to understand how to interpret things and how to treat them with
respect to their culture; it’s really important.
ROXY MCKNIGHT, 16
