Speaking one language helps you discover additional.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;When you understand how to speak Spanish, you will merely open up the  doors to alternative languages, French and Italian getting the most  similar. You might also dramatically improve your English skills,  whether English is your mother tongue or not. The reason for that is  because you'll find yourself understanding a great deal about grammar  for the most part. As soon as you learn one language, understanding an  additional just becomes even a lot easier.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3. You can become very knowledgeable about the Spanish customs.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Spanish culture, is one more a single from the benefits of studying  Spanish. Not only are you going to learn Spanish, but you can also get a  better comprehension with the diversity from the arts and culture on  the Spanish speaking population. Believe about the extreme varieties of  food and &lt;a href="http://www.selfgrowth.com/cooking.html"&gt;recipes&lt;/a&gt;.  Considering the several Spanish speaking countries out there, there's  almost too significantly Spanish food to discuss. Discover&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4. Understand some Spanish music&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;How about all of individuals Spanish singers out there who  incorporate Spanish into their English vocals, or merely sing a  beautiful song in Spanish? You may have the ability to realize them.  Performers like, Gloria Estefan from Cuba, Enrique Iglesias from Spain,  Shakira from Columbia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5. Understand Spanish Movies&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Spanish speaking actors like Penelope Cruz from Spain, Antonio  Banderas from Spain, and Salma Hayak from Mexico the list goes on.  Penelope Cruz did a fantastic movie called Volver, all in Spanish,  wouldn't it be wonderful to shut off the subtitles?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;6. Guide other people&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Very little seems much better as to able to support somebody else who  is struggling. Say you're in a restaurant in Puerto Rico and there can  be a tourist who's having a hard time ordering her food since the waiter  speaks Spanish and she does not. You can now walk over to her in  confidence and say ¿puedo ayudar usted? (may I assist you?)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;7. Improve your memory&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;Studies have shown those who know yet another language actually  improve their memory in time. It also expands your thought processes as  any language is composed different expressions, causing you to believe  more often.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;8. Spanish is not a complete stranger.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;You will discover so many words in the Spanish vocabulary that are  either identical as the English translation, or at least exceptionally  synonymous and have the same meanings.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: large;"&gt;You can find a substantial range of words in Spanish that are either  exceptionally similar to those in English, whether they're spelled the  identical or a tiny bit various. Having said that, you currently know  quite a lot of Spanish. The term for this really is cognates. There are  pure, true and false Spanish cognates, the pure and the true cognates  are the words you'll already recognize.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="adsense adsense_managed"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ins style="border: medium none; display: inline-table; height: 60px; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt; position: relative; visibility: visible; width: 468px;"&gt;&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ins id="aswift_3_anchor" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-bottom-width: medium; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-left-width: medium; border-right-style: none; border-right-width: medium; border-top-style: none; border-top-width: medium; display: block; height: 60px; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0pt; margin-right: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding-bottom: 0pt; padding-left: 0pt; padding-right: 0pt; padding-top: 0pt; position: relative; text-align: justify; visibility: visible; width: 468px;"&gt;&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4211158617831479290-8956500101049274631?l=jmjspanish.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.selfgrowth.com/articles/8_wonderful_benefits_of_learning_spanish' title='8 Wonderful Benefits Of Learning Spanish'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4211158617831479290/posts/default/8956500101049274631'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4211158617831479290/posts/default/8956500101049274631'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jmjspanish.blogspot.com/2011/05/8-wonderful-benefits-of-learning.html' title='8 Wonderful Benefits Of Learning Spanish'/><author><name>Maestra Gina</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='25' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7BcMkLiIsbw/SN1MRT8b3NI/AAAAAAAAAak/DpsrLFfcvbQ/S220/CIMG2227.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-GsgoH51A3V4/TeBhcVADpJI/AAAAAAAADMc/MRl9bpINxRo/s72-c/IMG_1938.JPG' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211158617831479290.post-6607702980553155198</id><published>2011-05-27T20:31:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2011-05-27T20:31:03.325-04:00</updated><title type='text'>My number video</title><content type='html'>&lt;iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/2MQ5u9pJCOE" width="425"&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4211158617831479290-6607702980553155198?l=jmjspanish.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4211158617831479290/posts/default/6607702980553155198'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4211158617831479290/posts/default/6607702980553155198'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jmjspanish.blogspot.com/2011/05/my-number-video.html' title='My number video'/><author><name>Maestra Gina</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='25' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7BcMkLiIsbw/SN1MRT8b3NI/AAAAAAAAAak/DpsrLFfcvbQ/S220/CIMG2227.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://img.youtube.com/vi/2MQ5u9pJCOE/default.jpg' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4211158617831479290.post-5524587665562420514</id><published>2010-09-16T18:23:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2010-09-16T18:23:03.716-04:00</updated><title type='text'>More benefits of learning Spanish</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: transparent; border: medium none; color: black; overflow: hidden; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"&gt;While anyone can &lt;a class="kLink" href="http://www.hollywoodchicago.com/blogs/11730/should-your-kids-learn-spanish#" id="KonaLink3" style="position: static; text-decoration: underline !

Studies have shown that native English speakers who study a foreign language when young do not fall behind in their native language development. In fact, children enrolled in foreign language programs score statistically higher on standardized tests conducted in English. A number of reports have demonstrated that children who have learned a second language earn higher SAT scores, particularly on the verbal section of the test. One study showed that by the fifth year of an immersion program students outperform all comparison groups and remain high academic achievers throughout their schooling. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4211158617831479290-7816427961422278157?l=jmjspanish.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://learn-spanish-software-review.toptenreviews.com/when-should-a-child-learn-another-language.html' title='When Should A Child Learn Another Language?'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4211158617831479290/posts/default/7816427961422278157'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4211158617831479290/posts/default/7816427961422278157'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jmjspanish.blogspot.com/2010/09/when-should-child-learn-another.html' title='When Should A Child Learn Another Language?'/><author><name>Maestra Gina</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='25' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_7BcMkLiIsbw/SN1MRT8b3NI/AAAAAAAAAak/DpsrLFfcvbQ/S220/CIMG2227.JPG'/></author></entry></feed>
