Spanish is Growing!

Well for anyone considering taking up Spanish, look no further for an incentive, as the Cuban Linguist Humberto Lopez Morales has estimated that by 2050, 10% of the world's population will speak Spanish.

One of the main reasons for this vast increase has been attributed to its rapid growth within the United States, and a growing availability of media in Spanish. The total population of hispano hablantes in America is now at around 13 million, and thus, Spanish is estimated to increase from a current worldwide total of 450 million (or 6.5%) to is soon set to take off to record numbers!

This is, of course, in comparison to the fact that French is predicted to be spoken by only 1.4% of the international population, and German 1.2%. Furthermore, English speakers are set to reduce dramatically from the current 9% to a mere 5% of the world population by 2050!

Thus, looks like everyone better get learning Spanish!!!
