I first experience with using Spanish was with a young girl in my neighborhood that wanted to attend an ESL class at our local church.

Wow, I did not know that the U.S. had the fifth highest # of Spanish speakers in the world! Spanish is really a good language to learn if you live in the US. Even here in Massachusetts I hear it often on the street, in restaurants, etc.

The number of speakers of Spanish is definitely one of many good reasons to learn this beautiful language.

I visit the Carrabean a lot and even the people who don’t have Spanish as a 1st language seem to have Spanish as a 2nd language.

I am a junior in college and I am taking Spanish II at the moment. I did very well in Spanish I, but I am in the process of ordering the Pimsleur Spanish I to help me with my course that I am in right now. It is amazing to me at how many places there are that they speak spanish, and I know that Spanish is the second language to know, English being the first, in America to know. I would love to become extremely well at Spanish, I am hope that the Pimsleur spanish will help me succeed in that.
