Here's an interesting read on Korean and Spanish in LA.

Peruvian immigrant Miguel Aliaga always knew that coming to Los Angeles would mean a long struggle mastering a new language. He just never figured that language would be Korean. |

That is an interesting read. It doesn't surprise me in the least. Not a huge call for Spanish in Korea itself, but if I went to live in el A, I'd probly learn Spanish too. I'd rather learn Spanish than Korean for how useful it would be almost everyelsewhere. Rather learn Spanish than English too, come to think of it. |

I'd rather learn Spanish than either Korean or English. It took me less than a month to be able to say in Spanish what it's taken me over a year to learn in Korean.

I learned Spanish for 2 years in High school and was quite fluent in it until I came to Korea. |
