Did you know?


*That Spanish is No. 3 among the more than 5,000 languages spoken in the world today. Only the languages of China and India are spoken by more native speakers. Even English take a back seat to Spanish with 330 million native speakers in the world, compared to 346 million for Spanish.

What a rich language is the Spanish, easy to learn, so clean.

I don't think that Spanish is so easy to learn. Actually, many people find it quite difficult.

Easy to learn the basics, hard to learn completely.

If I learned Spanish, it had to be relatively easy;). Any language is hard to learn completely. I'm still learning English after a lifetime as a native speaker.

What I found nice about Spanish is that it has definite rules on spelling and pronunciation, unlike English, which, to me, has to be one of the most confusing of all.
