You learn Spanish so you can make money, so you can get a job and do these things, and then you make money. And so they want Spanish things. And so most Itan is in danger and is dying. And that's normal. And so basically the problem is that people... The reason we learn language is to communicate. And we use it to make money and to do whatever it is to feed our families.

And if that's not happening, then it won't take off. It's not like a game or something. This is like something we use. Like, why is English so popular? It's not because it's an easy language to learn. Maybe it is. I don't really know. But that's not why it's popular.

It's all it is. It's all about money. And so there's a motivation to learn Mandarin. There's a motivation to learn Spanish. There's a motivation to learn English. These languages are very valuable to know because there's so, so many speakers all over the world.

There's less of a value economically. It's kind of what drives this. It's not a... It's not just for fun. I mean, there are these groups that do want to learn language just for language's sake, and there's something to that. But those are rarities in general. Those are a few small groups that do that. Most people don't do that.
