The lead section has information about the topic and mentions the importance of it. It also has references that support and adds credibility. The lead could also include sources such as :


 * SOCIOLINGUISTIC COMPETENCE AND INTERPRETING VARIABLE STRUCTURES IN A SECOND LANGUAGE A STUDY OF THE COPULA CONTRAST IN NATIVE AND SECOND-LANGUAGE SPANISH
 * Learning Spanish as a Second Language: Learners' Orientations and Perceptions of Their Teachers' Communication Style

The content, tone, and balance are also shown as a work in progress. The topic could also expand to areas such as culture. Learning Spanish also represents the expansion of cultural heritage that could be included in the learning process. The article could also include current programs that teach Spanish as a second language, such as Immersion schools. This could also open possibilities to discuss strategies to learn Spanish as a second language and incorporate other languages, such as the translaguaging strategy to build more meaning.

The sources and references: the ten resources to support the content are reliable. They could also be supported by adding more information about the importance of teaching and learning Spanish to enhance social justice.

Overall, This draft has important information that the reading could also link to valuable resources such as the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL). I consider that expanding the content and adding more informacion supported by other peer-reviewed articles could also incorporate the social piece of learning a language as a part of a culture.
