In addition, there are over 40 million Spanish speakers living in the United States. Furthermore, as a global language, Spanish is one of the 6 official languages of the United Nations.

As a result, The Telegraph, a British newspaper, has stated recently that Spanish is the 3rd best language for graduates. As well as being useful, Spanish is also considered one of the most beautiful languages.
Nevertheless, learning a language can be a lengthy project that requires a lot of patience and commitment. However, Spanish has been voted the 3rd easiest language to learn for English speakers by Business Insider. One of the advantages of Spanish is that there are simply 10 vowel sounds, instead of the 20 that English bears. With the vast majority of words, Spanish reads as it is written. The Effective Language Learning resource considers Spanish to be in Category 1 (the least difficult languages to learn as an English speaker). They estimate that learning Spanish requires between 575-600 hours of study. Comparatively, German demands 750 hours, with Arabic and Mandarin taking 2200 hours!
