As a Spanish speaker I can tell you that I have had conversations with Brazilians' Italians and we can understand each other pretty well, I can also read a Portuguese, Italian and some French news articles and get a pretty solid idea of what the article is about.

Another thing I want to point out is that I don't understand why here in the U.S. is viewed in such a negative way the necessity of learning another language. Is a tool that can set you up for success.

It's no different than science or math being required courses. Real world skills. At least this is something nobody's going to be asking, "Now when am I really going to use that?"
