translation from English to Spanish at competitive prices. Spanish for Beginners Here is who is learning Spanish , residents of the United States in large numbers, a group not known for conquering monoligualism, are studying Spanish with 121 speech in record numbers. Spanish, too, is fast becoming of great importance in Europe, where it often is an alternate foreign language after English. And it's no surprise that Spanish is a popular second or third language, with over 400 million speakers, it is the fourth most commonly spoken language in the world (after English, Chinese and Hindustani), and is said to have more native speakers than English does. It is an official language on four continents and is of historical importance in other parts of the world. Understand English better: Much of the vocabulary of English is of Latin origins, which came to English by way of French. Since Spanish is also a Latin language, you will find as you are studying Spanish that you better understand your native vocabulary. Similarly, both Spanish and English are of Indo-European roots, so the grammar is similar. Perhaps there is no more effective way to learn English grammar than by studying the grammar of another language, as the study forces you to think about how your native language is structured. And also to gain an understanding of English verbs' tenses and moods by learning how those verbs are constructed in Spanish. Becoming a necessity: Not long ago, the Spanish-speaking population of the United States was confined to along the Mexican border states and Florida . But not now. Even where I live, (Houston, Texas) there are many Spanish-speaking people living on the same street as I do. For me , knowing Spanish has proven a invaluable asset in speaking with other residents of my city who don't know English. I don't have a day go by where i do not talk to someone in Spanish. (Here's a big tip, Try to talk in Spanish at every chance you get, it has helped me immensely and find people connect with you better if you're trying to speak in their native tongue.) BTW : no one has ever criticized me for making mistakes when trying to speak Spanish. Travel: Yes, it maybe possible to visit Mexico, Spain ,Argentina without speaking a word of Spanish. But it isn't half as much fun. I remember when my Spanish was much less adequate than it is today .How difficult is was to travel in Latin America. So if you want memorable travel experiences, and find what most tourists have not had the opportunity to enjoy , simply by not understanding what the locals are saying. Time and time again while traveling in Mexico, Guatemala ,Central America and South America I doors opened to me simply because I am speaking Spanish, allowing me to see and do things that many other visitors do not. Cultural understanding: Most of us can't hope to learn the languages of more than one or two cultures other than that of our own, those that we do learn help us to better understand how other people learn and think. When I watch Latin American or Spanish news, for example, I often find I gain a sense of other people's thoughts and feelings, that is different than my own. Spanish also offers a wealth of literature, both modern and traditional, so if you like reading books it opens many avenues. Learning other languages: When you learn Spanish, you'll have a great head start in learning the other Latin-based languages ie: French and Italian. It will help you learn Russian and German, they too have Indo-European roots and have characteristics (such as gender and extensive conjugation) that are found in Spanish unlike English. Learning Spanish can even help you learn Japanese or other non-Indo-European language, as the intensive learning the structure of a language is a good reference point for learning others. It's easy: Fact: Spanish is one of the easiest foreign languages to learn. Its vocabulary is similar to English, and also written Spanish is almost completely phonetic: For example: Just take a look at almost any Spanish word and you can figure out how it is pronounced.See less »
