Beginners' Spanish (class 2)
Spanish is one of the world's most widely spoken languages, with an estimated 500 million people either native speakers or fluent non native speakers. If you count only native speakers Spanish outranks English in terms of number of speakers. Spanish is spoken widely in Europe and the Americas, being the native language for much of South America and the second most widely spoken language in the USA, rapidly gaining in popularity.
