The irrationality to study a second language



Hispanics who study the English language can only be explained by recognizing that human beings are notoriously irrational.

In other items (1) I referred to the animals we always try to do what is necessary, with the least possible effort.

This leads me to assume that the economy and austerity, smart behaviors are aligned with nature, while the waste is a symptom of imbalance with nature.

On the contrary, it is a noble record that logic is not a mental function especially suitable for humans to understand.

Now think about the amount of people that enjoy studying a second language, a language other than mother tongue.

If we analyze this decision using logic, we mean that Hispanics could choose any other Romance language, that is, it would be logical that we study French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian.

Should these five languages ​​(including Spanish because I am), let us spare time and energy to continue studying, we could add the Catalan and Galician, because seven languages ​​are derived from Vulgar Latin and do not differ much from each other, that is, to be "multilingual" nothing easier and cheaper to study different languages ​​that derive from the same source.

On the other hand, I have to mention that Spanish is the second most spoken language, it is only surpassed by the Chinese.

Against all logic (as befits the right-thinking human being), what do the young massive (encouraged or forced by their parents): They are dedicated to study English.

99 out of 100 students of English, either because they can never speak German phonetics is markedly different to the romance. In addition, English is spoken by fewer people than the Spanish, but has no reason to understand human beings.
