What advantages are there to learning Spanish today?

Spanish is the most spoken language among the Romance languages, both in terms of the number of speakers and in terms of the number of countries in which the language predominates. Worldwide there are over 400 million native Spanish speakers.

Unlike popular belief, there is not a single Spanish. There are different dialects of Spanish due to language evolution in different regions.
