        Subject: </font><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="gI">LL-L "Language image" 2012.07.21 (02) [EN]</span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"></span><br><br><div>

The image of Spanish here in an Arizona town is not good among some 
elements of the population since it is associated with poverty. Even nowadays in 
school many children come with the idea that even the word Mexican is a kind of 
epithet. In the past, many Hispanics would not speak the language. There has 
been a lot more pride in the language and culture of late but old attitudes die 
hard. Teaching Spanish, the by far most commonly taught foreign language in the 
U.S., to children who have been raised to despise it is difficult. How much do 
you have to  like the people whose language you are learning in order to 
learn it?</div>
