RATIONALE

...."One of the core functions of 21st century education is learning to learn in preparation for a lifetime of change.
(David Miliband, 2003)

While learning a foreign language takes a lot of time and effort can also be a fulfilment of an achievement thatexpands your horizons and exposes you to new opportunities and cultures. Unfortunately, the difficulties associated with learning new languages. Often cause people to give up prematurely.

Benefits of Learning a Second Language

I chose this topic because it relates to my future career, which is the constant use of languages. I also think that people should know that learning a language notonly facilitates communication with foreigners but even helps you advance your career and develop your brain.
Many people who only speak one language make excuses for not learning another language.

Nowadays, speak a second language has become one of the requirements demanded in the workplace. In addition to help you in your professional life, helps you master a foreign language in personal.This test will serve to show these benefits and convince the reader that a second language is the best investment of time you can make.
Many wonder why it is important to learn one or more languages than the native. Today, language study is not a whim but a necessity.
This is because globalization makes people who have knowledge of one or more languages have more opportunity to advance theircareer.

After learning a foreign language will be eligible for more jobs, and you can have a greater chance of being hired because there will be fewer applicants who meet the requirement to know more about a specific language. With the increasing globalization of all industries, many companies are in great demand for bilingual employees, particularly to speak English as their primary language andalso to speak Spanish, French, German and other popular languages.

Scientists have found that knowing a second language benefits the structure of the brain and helps to process information.

SECONDARY RESEARCH

My secondary research has shown that the Spanish Language is not a difficult language, the rules are clear, there are many exceptions and there are only two common items.
We also note that all people have the same skills to learn.
Each of us use an own method or set thespecific strategies according to we want to learn.

This research shows that there are different ways to learn. Sometimes, it depends on the motivation.
But also sometimes becomes difficult and frustrating when we cannot see progress; also we must be ambitious but realistic in our goal.

Our brains can get better if they receive learning by various means and channels.
Some of these can be watchingTV, and DVD is probably the quickest way to improve the level of understanding, listen to the radio too. Watching movies in Spanish are very useful, all this helps you to promote interest in the language. The music is an optional.
Some good advice can be to make cards, write phrase or simple words in both side, and paste in strategic locations, like mirror, doors, refrigerator, etc. Also createa map or diagram of specific parts of the house with translations.

Important data was finding, from the library, common mistakes in English Speakers when learning Spanish.
Examples are: - Pronouns - Gender Confusion - Adjective Style - English Adjectives - Pronunciation, etc. (Studyspanish,2008).

The initial research shows that many people find it fun to study in small groups. A group in...
