The success of a song about the Spanish language

March 13th, 2012

Two young Colombian musicians, two guitars and a song about the Spanish language became a big success over the last days on social media and went around the world. More than 2 million people have already viewed the video of the song “Qué difícil es hablar el español” uploaded on You tube by the two brothers a little more than 10 days ago.

The song tells how difficult it is to learn Spanish in a very funny way through the story of a student wanting to learn Spanish, since, depending on the Spanish speaking country you are staying in, the words’ meaning changes. So, something can have a very different meaning in Mexico, Venezuela or Argentina.


What started as a funny video became for many a tribute to the Spanish language, its richness and cultural diversity. The authors declare in their video presentation “Dedicated to all brothers in Latin America and Spain, and to all the Spanish speaking community, the cultural diversity, the richness of the language and the people who tried to speak Spanish some time and did not manage to do so”.

We recommend you listen to it if you are studying Spanish, since you will not only have a good time, you will also learn many words from this great language.
