SPANISH SHOULD BE MANDATORY…HERE’S WHY
Dear Editor,
Guyana is located on the continent of South America, found in the tropical zone.
Our native and official language is ‘English’ however in rural areas ‘Creolese” a common language based on the local languages is spoken and also, the various Amerindian tribes speak their own dialects. This scope of language that is wide amongst Guyanese can definitely become wider and this can very well be beneficial and for all the positive reasons.
Amongst the many one general language that is held and is of voiced within the fourth largest continent in the world is ‘SPANISH’. The official language of Spain and also many central countries sometimes referred to as the ‘ROMANCE LANGUAGE’. It also carries a length of vocal strength elsewhere including the South Western United States.
Evidently Guyana is on this very shore hence neighbours and since over fifty three percent (53%)of its population are young adults this tells that there is vast length of time to educate within this arena, given that most of their lives were spent here, within this local vicinity the only language known is ‘English’. This is all mentioned and stated to bring forth the strong notion that Spanish should be implemented and made mandatory. This of course should start from the initiating stage as early as primary schooling.
Neal Amyan- a successful teacher, export manager and also student owes most of his valuable belongings if not all to the great oasis of being able to comprehend and speak Spanish. This simple east coast born was a normal student of the Venezuelan Institute but managed to outstrip and outshine his fellow classmates not to say they weren’t sound learning students themselves. Being able to speak, understand and share this second language earned him a suitable and honorable position at a company of high quality BANKS DIH – D’AGUIARS INDUSTRIES AND HOLDINGS.
Evidently being able to bring about a second language within a third world country ‘like guyana’ is more than relevant for multiple reasons.
Just allowing the country to mix and blend with our fellow counterparts and communicating in a unique, different way for a change is a huge plus; clearly Spanish should be authorized with power of mandate, Of course converting this Guyanese nation into a geographically distinct area capable of speaking a foreign language.
