I can speak English fluently, as I'm born and raised in America (Though, I am southern - got an accent and speak with a lot of slang, but I speak english - as you can tell since I'm posting this message in english).
I'm working on Spanish, I've got a couple of months of Spanish 1 and am doing pretty well.
I can not understand very well, unless it is spoken slowly, as Spanish-speakers talk very fast and it's hard for me, being a beginner, to comprehend.
I really should of started learning a different language, such as Spanish, when I was a little bit younger.
It's said that it's easier to learn a different language when you are younger...but I guess 4 more years of Spanish in high school, and I'll be able to hold a conversation in Spanish.
I think right now, if you're American, it's good to know the Spanish language, as more and more Spanish-speaking immigrants (mainly Mexicans) are coming into America...
