| Not exactly. Learning one language can help you when you learn another. For example, French, Portuguese, Spanish, and Italian are pretty close so you can learn one and get a gist of the others or learn them easier. Same can be said for Japanese and Korean. Not to mention concepts may be shared between multiple languages. |

No me gustan los objectivos directos y indirectos (I'm completely winging it, I forgot how to say indirect and direct object) y las formas para el pasado. Preterito y imperfecto... Ay dios mio... |

Spain speaks Spanish (usually referred to as European Spanish) and Central and South America heavily speaks Spanish. It is the official language of 21 countries, and each country has unique twists, especially with what words are/aren't acceptable. Argentina and Spain are two countries I'll hate visiting because of their takes on the language that I've learned about. |

@JH Your class will likely focus on Latino Spanish (Central/South America) with occasional European Spanish. The main difference is the terms you'll use (you'll have to remember 3 ways to say sandwich for example). The main stand out between Euro and Latino is that Euro spanish includes an extra subject/person which has its own verb rules.
Verbs in Spanish start out as an infinitive. Then depending on the subject/person (1st/2nd/3rd) you change the verb to the tense you need and to the right formation. Example: Hablar - to speak (this will be the first verb you learn, if you don't learn ser (to be, adjectives mostly instead of the other to be, estar)). CONJUGATIONS: Drop the -er, -ir, or -ar from the verb and add the appropriate conjugation for the present. YO (I) = o Tu (with an accent) (You) = as El/Ella/Usted (Him/Her/You (Formal)) = a Nosotros (us) = amos Vosotros (Euro Spanish only) (Y'all) = aís Ellos/Ellas/Ustedes (Them) Yo hablo. Tu hablas. El habla. Nosotros hablamos. Vosotros hablaís. Ellos hablan.
@TIW I'm not sure, we didn't get too much exposure to Castillian, though I have heard Castillian dubbed songs of anime I like and it sounds interesting. |

idk why a language is a requirement to graduate in the first place it should only be required for the job that you're focusing on in the future
and if you may not use a language in it, so idk why it's mandatory at your school! or at all! |

It's always good to pick up a second language, why limit yourself to the people you can talk to? Not to mention that Spanish isn't too difficult to pick up the basics of. |
