About Spanish
Spanish is an international language and is one of the 6 official languages of the United Nations. With more than 400 million speakers in more than 20 countries, from Spain, with 46 million speakers, to Africa and the Americas, and millions of others studying it as a second language, Spanish continues to spread. Spanish developed from Latin, and is related to French, Italian, Romanian and Portuguese. Many English words also have Latin roots, making some Spanish words easy to recognize! The version taught here is a simple, universal form of Spanish that will allow you to communicate throughout Spain and Latin America – though it does stick to the Spanish usage of vosotros for the plural of ‘you’ and uses Peninsular Spanish pronunciation.
