Small language subjects need 400$ points urgently! !

It is recommended to learn Spanish for the following reasons:

Spanish is the official language of 2 1 countries. 350 million people use it.

2. The second most commonly used communication language in the world. The third largest language for global economic, political and cultural exchanges. One of the six working languages of the United Nations. It is also one of the most important languages of the European Union, the World Trade Organization and international political conferences.

In America, Spanish is the first foreign language in universities. In the past decade, the Hispanic population in the United States has increased by 60%. There are about 35.5 million Hispanics living in the United States, accounting for 12.5% of the total population. In Japan, there are 65,438+009 universities teaching this language, and 40,000 Japanese college students are learning Spanish. In China, only a dozen universities offer Spanish majors every year, with fewer than 500 graduates. There is a shortage of Spanish talents at present.

4. The international trade between the United States, European countries and Asia is increasing day by day, and Spanish has become the most widely used international trade language.

5. After WIO, China will have more frequent economic and trade exchanges with Spain and South America, and the domestic demand for foreign language talents will become diversified. Students who master Spanish and are familiar with Spanish culture will get more development opportunities while upgrading their majors.

Expert Tip: There is a shortage of Spanish talents in China.

In Japan, there are 65,438+009 universities teaching this language, and 40,000 Japanese college students are learning Spanish. In China, only a dozen universities offer Spanish majors, with less than 300 Spanish graduates each year, while Nanjing University only recruits 20 students each year, which is far from meeting the demand for Spanish professionals. The actual situation is that there are few "small languages", and students in foreign languages departments are generally booked out before graduation, and the contradiction between supply and demand has become very prominent.

Take a famous university as an example. The Russian department needs a doctorate to stay in school, and the Spanish department needs a bachelor's degree. Another phenomenon can be seen from the difference between the two requirements: the shortage of Spanish talents, the general departure of college graduates, and the national emergency of teachers.

In addition, the demand for Spanish talents in trade, manufacturing and service industries has been rising, which has led to the increasing number of self-taught Spanish in recent years. According to EU regulations, China goods entering Spain can be easily re-exported to EU countries without re-declaration, and Spain can also radiate markets in North Africa and South America. With China's extensive economic, trade, cultural and political cooperation with Europe and Latin America, the status of Spanish is constantly improving. As the most widely used, oldest and most dynamic language in the world, Spanish will exert great influence in China. Parents and students who have the opportunity to know this information are also aware of the current shortage of Spanish talents in China, and small languages can open up a lot of space.

Compare Spanish and French.

I learned a little French before. I think Spanish is simpler than French in pronunciation, and Spanish is basically a complete one-to-one correspondence between words and sounds, which is very regular. Because there are no spelling rules and letter combinations, long words will be pronounced longer, but long words are a minority. On the other hand, French has letter combinations, such as oi. In addition, I think Datong sound (Spanish) is easier to pronounce than uvular (French). I also think Spanish is simpler than French in vocabulary and grammar (although it belongs to the same language family, while English belongs to another language family). For example, "80" means ochenta in Spanish and quatre-vignts in French, which means four twenties. I think the French are stupid in arithmetic. Multiplication should be used within 100.

As for the prospect, I also think Spanish is good, because apart from Spain (one country in Africa), Spanish is mainly used in America (Latin America), and there are several countries in Latin America whose economies are ok, such as Mexico and Chile. Moreover, there are more and more economic, trade and cultural exchanges between China and Latin America, which are highly complementary, and the demand for Spanish talents is growing. It can be seen that the prospects between China and Latin America are very good. Except France, Switzerland, Belgium and other countries, French is mainly in Africa (there are also a few countries and regions in the United States), and it is generally inferior to all Spanish-speaking countries in terms of economic aggregate and current development. Although Africa also has great development potential, it is not as good as Latin America at present.
