The Spanish language, increasing presence in the world

September 5th, 2012

The Spanish language spreads around the world with more and more strength, but that is not news. As the second international communication language after English and the second mother tongue behind Chinese, its presence becomes more important every year.

Moreover, a series of events took place over the last weeks around the Spanish language which make it very clear that we are talking about a language that will have, if not already, a great weight in the future.

The recent inclusion of the term Spanglish in the Dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy (Drae) as well as the possible obligation of including the optional module of Spanish in the University entry exam the Japanese government is considering, are clear signs that the importance of the Spanish language in the world is becoming stronger and will continue in that direction in the future.

The mixture of Spanish and English, Spanglish, which defines the way Hispanic talk in the United States, will be incorporated in the 2014 edition of the RAE dictionary. The word “estadounidismo” will also be added, it is defined as words or strict uses of Spanish spoken in the United States of America.

It seems clear that nowadays the importance of having a minimum knowledge of Spanish is very important, so if you are thinking about undertaking a course, the best place to learn Spanish is Spain, the country where this language was born and from where it spread around the world.
