because they show their emotions when they say speak

Anyone who looks Hispanic and does not speak English in public is subject to being an illegal.  As far as I am concerned, they have to prove their innocence.  They are rude to not speak English in public.  We live in America.

Spanish is easier than French or English.

I have noticed this frequently among my spanish speaking friends. I never felt it was impolite but I speak or understand enough spanish that I could follow the conversation. An intelligent person would ask you about anything they didn't understand rather than look at you funny. You, on  the other hand,are being very polite worrying about it.

Spanish is a growing language in the United States. Those who have latino(s) heritage are growing in great numbers and will outnumber any other minority group soon. \n\nIn order to accomodate this growing population, bilinugal "aids" have been added. This group may help decide who our future leaders will be. \n\nAs for learning a new language- it's fun and and it's worthwhile. Americans are so egocentric. Citizens in other countries know more than one language and are able to get along just fine. \n\nPara mi, me gusta much espanol. Estudio en la escuela secondara y en la universidad. \n\nComprende?

I'm assuming you meant "speaker."  I like listening to someone who is speaking loudly enough to be heard without screaming; who is a little dynamic in their movements, but not jumping wildly about; and speaking on an interesting topic. ;) Of course, that last one will vary by listener.  Also, their voice should vary in pitch and tone for emphasis - no monotones, PLEASE!!!

# people of lower socioeconomic strata tend to speak more loudly even at rest from chronicaly being forced to assert themselves if they want to get even the simplest rights of respect etc.\n# stupidity(like when you are drunk) leads to disinhibition which is associated with loud voice\n# i seriously question their femininity.\n# this is not racist at all, it must be acknowledged that every race has certain traits,making generalizations of good/bad genre is racist .\ni never mentioned anything about good or bad.

I'm guessing that you're talking about Spanish-speaking immigrants from places like Mexico and South America.  Previous answerers have had a lot to say about this question, so I'll just add a little.\n\nThe Spanish-speaking immigrants I know would very much like to learn English so they can get ahead in the United States.  However, they often work long hours for very little pay so they can just put food into their mouths and the mouths of their families.  This leaves them with very little time and/or money to spend on English classes.  For example, I know a 72-year-old woman who works long days for very little pay cleaning people's houses, and she's desperately trying to learn English, but she doesn't have the time or money to take many English classes.  People often take advantage of her by only paying her a few dollars an hour for her hard work.  It's really not fair.\n\nIt's not a question of inability, it's a question of limited resources.  I imagine that if you were in the same situation, it would be hard for you too.\n\nJust so you know for the future, Spanish is the name of the language, but the people are called Mexicans, Venezuelans, Argentinians, and so on.  A term that works for all people of those backgrounds is Latino/a/os.  If you say someone is Spanish that means the person comes from Spain.

Estan pendejos todos estos racistas. They think they can over power minorities. By the way, good answer to the previous question... donde les rallaste la mama. Unity is the only way and too bad for them when hispanics turn the majority into a minority.

Actually, it's probably because whatever language or locale, the people you're talking to are people, and people are slow. You probably have to sit through a bunch of spoken information, but you could probably read or skim it faster. You probably have to give a lot of information, and people misunderstand things you say, need to ask for spellings and that sort of thing. It really doesn't matter where the people are, or the languages involved, speech is just a slower way of doing things.

The way people feel about accents is often a manifestation of how they feel toward people with that accent.  It's obvious that Americans don't dislike all accents, because Americans often say things like "British accents sound sophisticated" or "Italian accents sound Romantic".  In other words, if people say they don't like Spanish-speakers' accents, it could be a manifestation of prejudice they have toward that person, not the language itself.  This is why one linguist has called linguistic discrimination the last acceptable form of discrimination.

That's a good question.  I've wondered that myself.  Many of them DO speak with that high-pitched, nasally voice that most of us have tried to mimic at some point in our lives.

Because some people are just too lazy to learn that there are another countries where people speaks spanish.\n\nNow, imagine people so lazy that they didn't even learn about the existence of El Salvador. Now, imagine how much they care about what american goverments have made in El Salvador. Now imagine this lazy guys replacing a "salvadoreño" by doing his job after he is expelled from the US for being an illegal.

A Spanish rendition of the national anthem does not "incurage" (by the way, isn't it a bit humbling that you don't know how to write in your own language, and are being scorned for it by people whose first language isn't even English?) illegal immigration.  It encourages provincial, monolingual, illiterate simpletons to learn at least one more language.  Heh.
