English in my country
Nowadays English is too important to get a job, meet people from other countries and more, but are Spanish people learning this language as well as they should?
Until some years ago, Spanish children and teenagers only had one subject at school and highschool and the only learned reading and writing. They didn't listen and speak enough in English, but since more or less 2008 all of the lessons at a lot of schools and highschools are in English... is it good for our children?
On one hand, the learn a lot of English since they are little children and that's great because this is the best time to learn a secondary language and they would be able to speak of a lot of things in English.
On the other hand, if they are learning all the subjects in English maybe the won't know a lot of vocabulary in Spanish like for example vocabulary of the anamtomy, technology and others, so maybe the won't be improving their Spanish as well.
From my point of view it's really important to get by in English, but it's important to maintein the native language too.

English in my country
Nowadays English is VERY important IF YOU WANT TO GET a job, meet people from other countries and more, but are Spanish people learning this language as well as they should?
Until A FEW years ago, Spanish children and teenagers only had one subject at school and highschool, and the only learned reading and writing. They didn't listen and speak enough (delete:in)English, but since ABOUT 2008 all of the lessons at a lot of schools and highschools are in English... is it good for our children?
On THE one hand, THEY learn a lot of English FROM THE TIME THAT they are little children and that's great because THAT is the best time to learn a SECOND language and they would be able to speak ABOUT a lot of things in English.
On the other hand, if they are learning all the subjects in English, maybe the won't LEARN a lot of vocabulary in Spanish (delete:like) for example vocabulary of the anatomy, technology and others so maybe THEY won't IMPROVE their Spanish as well.
From my point of view it's really important to get by in English, but it's important to maintAin the native language too.
