Foreign Language in High School

To express your thoughts means you have the capabilities to understand the world's issues that are multiplying day by day.

To express your thoughts in foreign languages mean that you have the understanding needed to react about these issues.

It's one of my dreams to become a multilingual. Guten morgen. Hola! Aku cinta kamu. Koy huk lao. This is the reason why I am excited to learn foreign language in my third year. But to my dismay, Spanish and German languages are going to be taught in public high schools.

I envy that fact. It was implemented to my sister's batch. She's a graduating student now. So I urge my sister to take up Spanish so she can teach me or I can borrow her notes and do a self-study.

See? Because of the globalization that's happening to the world, learning foreign languages become accessible. This is very helpful because it bridges the gap among countries, closes language barriers, and allows culturization.

However (yes, there's a however), one must first appreciate and master their native language. Learning new language is not that bad provided that we, Filipinos, should not use this as an excuse to forget our disown our own language.
