Spanish language section is a valuable part of DTH

TO THE EDITOR:

As a member of the growing English-Spanish speaking community"" I commend the DTH for the inclusion of its Spanish language ""La Colina"" section.

This section not only assists native speakers"" but also the business-savvy individuals who have chosen to learn Spanish as a second language.

""La Colina"" symbolizes the growing spirit of cooperation between our English-speaking community and the fastest growing minority in the state.

Any good businessperson realizes the need for dual-language services in this state.

A dual-language condition is not a burden" it is an opportunity to break cultural boundaries.

English speakers who feel they are being lowered by the prominence of the Spanish language need to quickly understand that the world speaks many languages and that this country is no island. Two languages sound perfectly reasonable to me.
