Foreign languages are extremely important to students' education. after taking my first spanish course, i saw a significant increase in my english grade. as a student in spanish, i learned how to form verbs and verb phrases in that language. learning about verbs and verb phrases in a different language gave me a different perspective about the same parts of speech in english. this new knowledge made english class much easier, and i received good grades in both classes last year. learning foreign languages students in many different subjects. ian wrote a argumentative speech to convince the school board to adopt more foreign language classes at his school. do the examples from this part of ian's speech support his position?
