What's the point in watching "Dora the Explorer"? Shouldn't kids be learning English instead?

We Answered:

Im not racist in any way, but shouldnt the Spanish speakers try to learn English? I work at a grocery store and there are some people that can only say hi in English and when the try to ask for help most of the employees don't understand them. It also goes for the other peoples too.

What is the effect of delayed learning of English on a child's development?

We Answered:

Presuming they are teaching the children to read and write in their tribal language, it shouldn't affect them at all. It is no different to English speaking children learning a second language when they get to high school. There are some studies that suggest that learning two languages actually can make you more intelligent. Parents have every right to choose what their children's first language should be.

Being bilingual is considered a great benefit these days, and can cause one to earn much more than monolingual English speakers. There are many, many Hispanic kids for whom being bilingual is a great benefit, and in no way a language handicap. What may appear to be a language handicap to you is more to do with lack of education in either language and interruptions to their education, both through changing schools and going between Spanish and English speaking schools.

Are most kids in Spain learning to speak English in school taught with a British or American accent?

We Answered:

The majority of foreign teachers in Spain teaching English are British. This is mainly due to visa regulations which make it harder for Americans and non-Europeans to get a work visa. There is also a significant number of Irish teachers there.

Seth Said:

Isn't it funny to see people so shocked at the idea of kids learning a different language?

We Answered:

It's a shame and ridiculous to not make learning a foreign language a requirement. I guess we're afraid our kids will talk about us in front of us and we won't know what they're saying.
