Spanish Language

The Spanish language and its people are far more diverse than the stereotypes suggest.One of the myths is that more People Grow up Speaking English Than Speaking SpanishBecause English has become a worldwide lingua franca for science, tourism, and business, it’s easy to forget that English is far surpassed by two other languages in terms of numbers of native speakers.Easily ranking No. 1 is Mandarin Chinese with 897 million native speakers, according to the Ethnologue database. Spanish comes in a distant second with 427 million, but that’s well ahead of English with 339 million.One reason English seems more prominent is that it’s regularly spoken in 106 countries, compared with just 31 countries for Spanish. And English does rank ahead of Spanish when non-native speakers are counted as it is the world’s most common second language.#CZSPFTSWSLK#RPculturalheritage#acdlahoya#erasmusplus#cofundederasmusplus
