Spanish: It’s time to learn
If you’ve ever wondered whether it was important to learn Spanish, consider this:
#The U.S. Hispanic population has grown by 60% in just one decade.
# The buying power of U.S. Hispanics is expected to exceed $926 million by 2007.
# The dramatic growth in the Spanish language and Spanish speaking populations has sparked world wide demand for Spanish language radio, newspapers, and other media. In 2004, for example, China launched a Spanish television channel.
Spanish is now the world’s third most spoken language, after Chinese and English, and ranks second in terms of native speakers.
Around the globe, an estimated 500 million people across the world speak Spanish. In the United States, 29 million US residents above the age of 5 speak Spanish at home. That’s approximately 1 of every 10 US residents.
The best way to learn short of a multi-thousand dollar immersion course is through Spanish language audiobooks that teach you the language through listening to and practiciong spoken Spanish.
