You Can Speak Spanish Too

By Edmond Koo

Are you interested in learning a new language in your spare time? I have a suggestion for you: Spanish.

Spanish has a long historic culture of its own, and is a primary speaking language outside Spain, such as the Latin America. The language is sometimes called Espanol by Spaniards when used to differ from other states; or Castellano to be distinct from other languages spoke in Spain. Spanish is a core lesson taught at schools in the United States. Over the world, Spanish is a primary language in over 20 countries, and it is the fourth most spoke language in the planet, with 400 million native speakers. Naturally, many people study Spanish as their second language due to its popularity. In addition, while English is one of the most spoken language in the world, learning Spanish lets you have a deeper understanding of the world history in a linguistic view. For instance, Brazil takes an important role in the history of the Espanol language, since it is a major communication language in trading with other countries.

If you have experience in European language, you will find that Spanish shares a similar phonological system with Italian language. However when comparing with English, both share variants of approximately one third of their vocabulary base (via Latin), although the pronunciation system is usually quite different. Like learning other languages, you have to get a lot of practice on top of studying from books. You can try to make Spanish friends online or in real life. This way your Spanish level will gradually build up without consciously aware of it. Also, get a Spanish dictionary and look up the meaning of words when needed. Listening to Spanish song is also a good idea to familiarize yourself with the language.

While there is always a learning curve, learning the language does not require you to spend months or years before you can speak Spanish comfortably.
