I am a senior citizen who would like to learn Spanish using my Verizon TV. A huge percentage of our population is Spanish speaking and I feel disenfranchised in not understanding them. I can not afford the commercial programs offered for sale. I noticed that you do have some learn English programs for children but nothing for adults to learn Spanish. Offering a Spanish teaching program is a community service that is in my opinion sorrily needed. Hpin605

Great idea- and one that I agree with. I'll make sure the proper team within Verizon sees your idea. Thanks!

Great idea -- one that I proposed eons ago on our community TV stations.  Meanwhile, there are many free Spanish tutorials on line...

Wonderful idea.  And how about other languages?

 

In the meantime, here's another suggestion aside from learning on line:  Have you checked your local library?  Many libraries have all kinds of media for language learning, or they can order it from other libraries in the system.

Probably should learn Chinese. Don't they own more than half of the US?

 

Don't get me wrong, my wife was born in Peru and I still can't understand her after 25 years.:smileylol:

 

I think everyone here should speak English, if they choose to speak their native language amongst themselves, then so be it. But I do agree there are advantages to understanding other languages, so yes you get my vote, for what it is worth. But I have been trying to get a Peruvian Spanish channel Sur Peru added for 5 years, so good luck. Perhaps it is something they could have on demand, and not take up another channel space. But the other person was right in regards to the libraries having alot of media available now. CDs DVDs etc.
