Spanish is a Romance (or Neo-Latin) language that belongs to the Indo-European language family. It is an official language in more than 20 countries, primarily in Spain and Latin America, and is spoken by approximately 450 million native speakers worldwide.
Whether your goal is to work, travel, or live abroad, Spanish is an ideal language to learn. It is considered the second most important language in the Western world after English—due to its growing use in the United States, its influence in education, the expanding economies of Spanish-speaking countries, and its significant impact on global music, cinema, and literature.
Spanish evolved mainly from Latin and shares many features with other Romance languages spoken in neighboring European countries, such as French, Italian, and Portuguese. Its global reach and cultural richness make it one of the most valuable and rewarding languages to learn today.
