Piénso que sí. Yes, I think so. I'm African-American and I'm learning Spanish in my fifties. I've found that we don't realize how many slangs we Americans use. We don't really speak English, we speak American here. Every time a new trend comes along, we change the way we speak. But, when you start learning another language, you have to make sure that what you're saying is correct, so the person who is translating for you, or teaching you, can tell you how to say things correctly in the other language.

I think Americans do their children a disserviceby not having them learn at least one other language, fluently. In practically every other country in the World, people speak at least two if not three languages, from childhood. A friend of my is from Cameroon in East Africa, and he speaks five languages. (English, Spanish, French, German and Pidgin) He said he is not considered very educated in his country.

I've also found out that businesses pay very well for interpreters. I live in the Northwest, and there are businesses here that pay $30.00/for Spanish interpretors. They pay even more for Languages such as Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, German and Russian.
