Junior Luis Zarate is currently working on his communication skills in Spanish, French and Chinese. After moving from Los Angeles to Roseville over a year ago, he has realized the value of working to understand different languages to better understand people.

“When you go out of [RHS], you get experience. You learn how to work faster, take with people and sometimes you have to learn another language. I work at Panda Express and the people in there are teaching me some Chinese. Its cool, it was hard in the beginning trying to communicate with others in another language, [but] you learn quick. I speak Spanish at home and I’m taking French here. It’d be better if more people knew more languages. If there’s someone coming from outside of the country, yes, you will be able to speak with them but I think there’s something deeper there. You can show a little bit of respect by speaking someone else’s language.”
