Personal Information and why I am into Spanish

My name is Ramin Izadi and I am a student at Shepherd. My major is Communications and I am studying Spanish for several reasons. Mainly I am required to take four semesters of a language for my communications major but there are other reasons as well. I have a spanish speaking friend and I think it would be fun to have conversations in Spanish with her and her family. Another reason is that eventually I may want to travel to a spanish speaking country and it would be very useful to already have a profound knowledge of their culture and their language so I would be able to have conversations with the citizens of the countries I may visit. The workers at my dad's restaurant speak Spanish so it would also be useful to be able to communicate with them. Those are my reasons for wanting to study Spanish.
