Spanish=espaƱol
We have decided to learn Spanish as a family. Just trying to be patriotic. You know what Obama says..."make sure your child speaks Spanish." Ha! Actually, many general authorities at the Church are asked to learn a second language to aid them in their callings and most often it's Spanish or Portuguese. In the August 2007 issue of the New Era magazine, it lists the top ten languages spoken by church members. At #1, of course, is English with 5,828,000 members. Next is Spanish with 3,681,000 members, followed by Portuguese with 907,000 members. Right now I'm spending a lot of time researching language learning methods for different age groups. I'm even shopping for a method that Rob and I can use. If any of you are interested, now's the time to join the band wagon! We could all hablamos espanol together!
