Re:Re:Re:When is English taught in others countries
Hola Kaktusqueen,
Aquí en España puedes empezar a estudiar otra lengua (en horario lectivo) cuando empiezas secundaria (primero de ESO), es decir al rededor de los 11 años. La lengua que se estudie dependerá del colegio / instituto al que se atiende, por ejemplo, en el mío además del francés, sólo había inglés.
>>Cuánto cuestan los mangas en Espana?<<
Depende de la editorial, pero al rededor de 9 euros.

Re:When is English taught in others countries
Hi!
I’m Spanish. When I was in school, English was taught when you reached third grade (students were 8 year olds).
Nowadays they've changed (again) our educational law -or are in the process of doing so- and they want to start teaching it when children start kindergarten (4 year olds).
The thing is, it’s not really important when you start studying but how, as many of my classmates can’t really communicate in English… thanks to the methodology employed.
Nonetheless I’m also curious about how’s it in the rest of countries.

Re:When is English taught in others countries
Take it from Celtic's mouth, Tim! They're right!! But in all countries where English is spoken as a 2nd language and used quite widely, they get taught when they first start at school. And quite basic for conversational stuff in 'social ways'[but a bit more than when we want to learn another language]. It's only at the start of 'that time' is when they first get taught!! For example; most European countries[except "land-locked" ones, get taught English when they first start school!] and in the Pacific and Asian regions. Same goes for Latin American countries as well! Take care. ;-p

Re:Mexican Traditions
Hi Mandy, or ¡Hola!/G'DAY!!! If u really want to know about Mexican traditions and culture and is for your high school course/assignment, either "Wikipedia"-it or "Google"-it!! ;-p I'll give u a hand in first so, about the native peoples!! It's the most amazing culture in the world [I think!]; The Maya and Aztecs. [Check out Mel Gibson's "Apocalypto"!!] Another people are the, Olmecs -- whom made those large stone human-heads!! The Maya speak a Tonocan language, whereas the Aztecs speak the indigena native language -- Nahuatl, where it is mainly spoken largely in the southern Gulf of Mexico on the Caribbean side!! Take care. ;-p
