Learning Spanish is not just an attractive endeavor for those looking to broaden their professional and personal opportunities. Speaking Spanish can also be a valuable asset. As the third most widely spoken language in the world, Spanish has more than 400 million speakers and is the native tongue in 20 different countries. Spanish is also the second most widely spoken language in the US, more than 40 million, and there are more Spanish speakers in America than live in Spain.
Picking up some basics in Spanish is relatively easy for beginners, especially those who speak a language like English, French, or Italian. Languages of the same family often share words that are cognates or have similarities because they are derived from the same mother tongue. In addition to familiar-sounding vocabulary, you'll discover Spanish also has a straightforward system of pronunciation, fewer irregularities than many other languages, and an alphabet similar to the English one.
