Everybody has their own reason for learning a new language. Perhaps they are required the learn the language for school or work. Or perhaps they are trying to impress a beautiful women or a handsome man. This is exactly why I’m learning Spanish. Just kidding! Actually, to me learning a new language is like cracking a code. Every time I discover the meaning of a new word or phrase it feels like I’ve just found a chocolate Easter egg hidden behind the couch. Once I “crack” this code I have access to a completely different world, a different way of living, a different way of thinking. When I hear someone speaking another language I get a craving to understand what’s being said. And I’m impressed very much by people who can speak fluently in multiple languages and switch between them effortlessly. Anyways, enough about that for now. I’m writing this article to give you some more resources for learning Spanish.
Hola a todos,
With nearly 330 million native speakers (417 million if you include second-language speakers), Spanish is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. It is spoken in many countries and continents including Spain, Mexico, Central America, and virtually all of South America (excluding Brazil, where Portuguese is the official language). Spanish is also spoken by many people in California, New Mexico, Arizona, and Texas. Being such a prevalent language, you will likely use Spanish at some point in your life.
