Why is it recommended that a student learns a foreign language for a few years during high school?

What are advantages to learning Spanish?
The advantages are largely the same as learning any other language... the ability to communicate in that language. English might carry a special advantage for people who work or live in an English-speaking country, or who do business in English. The side benefits of being able to understand jokes and read great English literature are there, of course... but those exist in any language, and (depending on how well the language is mastered) sometimes are never fully realized.
...By learning how to speak it. Maybe try taking Greek lessons or you can go online or you can go to greek school .
A person speaks Greek by taking classes in it or by talking Greek a lot to others who do speak Greek.
First, like learning/speaking any language, you must learn vocalbulary and the rules that go along with it. Once the vocalbulary is learned, you then must learn the final, and sometimes most confusing part, the sentence structure. The sentence structure of a language is the order in which words/vocalbulary are placed in sentence. In Hindi, ALL subjects go first, ALL Verbs go at the end of the sentence, and everything else (adjectives, prepositions, etc.) goes in the middle of the sentence.
For example: Main khush hoon= I am happy.
"Main" (pronunced like the month, may) is the Hindi word for "I". Since "I" is the subject of the sentence, it goes first in the sentence. Next is the word "khush" (proncounced koosh), which is the Hindi word for "happy". Since it is an adjective, it goes in the middle of the sentence. Last we have "hoon". "Hoon" is the Hindi word for "am". Since "am" is a verb, it goes at the end of the sentence. This is how Hindi is spoken.
To learn to speak any language requires study. Language-learning tips range from using websites and software all the way to living in a foreign country. The truth is, living among the native speakers is really the most effective way of learning; however, few people have the money or opportunity to do this.

With a handful of exceptions,all words in Swahili are pronounced with the accent on the next-to-last syllable.
Swahili is of the Niger-Congo language family, specifically of the Bantu language group. The earliest documents that have been preserved that were written in the Swahili language are a series of letters written in 1711. These letters were written in Kilwa, to the Portuguese of Mozambique. They were written using the Arabic alphabet, while these days the Latin alphabet is more commonly used.
The Swahili word for Swahili is "Kiswahili", which comes from the Arabic word meaning coast. In this context, it is used to mean coastal dwellers, and when referring to the language it means coastal language. There are many dialects of the Swahili language, and it is difficult to say when or where exactly the language emerged as the defined language that we know today. However, it has been in the last two hundred years that the Swahili language has become so widely used.

- ask a dutch person
- In the Netherlands we speak Dutch. If yo want to learn I suggest you take lessons. But for most people it's a difficult language to master. (See below, same tekst as in English)
- In Nederland spreken wij Nederlands. Als je het wilt leren raad ik je aan lessen te nemen. Maar voor de meeste mensen is Nederlands een moeilijke taal om goed onder de knie te krijgen.
- ^Actually Dutch is considered one of the easiest languages in the world for English speakers to learn. (Supervisor).
You can not speak Iroquois, since there is no single language of that name. The Iroquois tribes each spoke their own different language and collectively these are members of the Iroquoian language family, just like Erie and Huron (among others).
Although the Iroquoian languages are closely related they are certainly not the same, as the following examples show:
English.......................Mohawk.......................Cayuga........................Oneida
red.............................onekwenhtara.............otgwęhjia...................onikwʌ́htalaˀ
deer...........................ohskennonton.............dewahǫhde.................oskanu·tú
arrow..........................kayènkwire.................ganǫh..........................kayu·kwíleˀ
So it is clear that nobody can "speak Iroquois", but they can learn to speak Oneida (Onyota'aka), Onondaga (Onoñdaʔgegáʔ nigaweñoʔdeñʔ), Mohawk (Kanien'kéha), Seneca (Onödowága or Onötowáka) or Cayuga (Gayogo̱hó:nǫ').
These are among the most difficult of all languages for an English speaker to learn, since there are so many non-English sounds and combinations of sounds which English speakers struggle to pronounce. These are represented by special characters in writing those native words. The Cayuga term for drifted snow, for example, is onyęˀgwaohǫh; this includes the non-English sounds ę, ˀ, and ǫ.
When speaking to another bilingual person (English- & Spanish-speaking), I use a combination of both languages mixed up in sentences. i.e.: "You know, la muchacha that went out with your hermano. The one que no le gusta French fries."

It is always good to learn another language. Depending on what you wish to do with it or where you are going to be living, it can be a valuable asset.
