Today 559 million people speak Spanish worldwide, including 470 million native speakers. It is estimated that there are more than 21 million students of Spanish as a foreign language. Spanish is the second most studied language in the world. It is the official language in 22 countries and is also spoken in many other countries. This includes the United States, where there are 45 million Spanish speakers, making it the second largest Spanish-speaking country in the world and expected to become the largest in 2050, so perhaps take a course of Spanish with a native Spanish teacher
is an excellent investment.
