Have you ever ‘frozen up’ while trying to speak Spanish?

Even after putting in the time to study Spanish – with an app, a book, or Youtube videos – has your brain ever shut down while you were trying to talk? Maybe you were just starting to build confidence with the language, when someone hit you with a question you’d never heard before, and you found yourself totally speechless.

Freezing up is embarrassing, and confidence-shaking! Whether it happens meeting Spanish-speakers here at home, or on a trek through Peru, or in a meeting in Mexico City, in front of a stranger or a friend, it’s never fun.

If this has ever happened to you, don’t worry: you are not alone! And you can avoid such awkward moments thanks to a simple solution.

Spanish is an official language in 21 countries, mainly in Central America, South America, and Spain. Here are some of the countries where Spanish is spoken the most:

Mexico: With a population of over 130 million people, Mexico is the most populous Spanish-speaking country in the world.

Other countries where Spanish is widely spoken include Venezuela, Chile, Ecuador, Guatemala, Cuba, Bolivia, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Paraguay, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, and Panama.

Spanish is also spoken in parts of the United States, particularly in states with large Hispanic populations such as California, Texas, Florida, and New York.

How many Spanish-speakers are there?

According to Ethnologue, a database of world languages, there are approximately 460 million native speakers of Spanish worldwide as of 2021, making it the second most spoken language in terms of native speakers, after Mandarin Chinese.

Additionally, there are an estimated 90 million people who speak Spanish as a second language, bringing the total number of Spanish speakers worldwide to around 550 million!

What is the difference between Spanish spoken in Spain and Latin America?

Pronunciation: Spanish spoken in Spain has a distinct pronunciation, with a “th” sound for “c” and “z” before “e” and “i”. In Latin America, this sound is usually pronounced as an “s” sound. Additionally, the “s” sound is often dropped at the end of words and sometimes in the middle of words in Latin America, while it is typically pronounced in Spain.

Vocabulary: There are many words that are used differently in Spain and Latin America, or that have different words altogether. For example, in Spain, a “coche” is a car, while in Latin America it’s more commonly called an “auto” or “carro”. Similarly, in Spain, “ordenador” is used for computer, while in Latin America it’s more commonly called a “computadora”.

Grammar: While the basic grammar rules of Spanish are the same in Spain and Latin America, there are some differences in usage. For example, in Spain, the informal second-person singular pronoun “tú” is used more frequently than in Latin America, where “usted” is often preferred. Additionally, there are some variations in verb conjugation and use of prepositions and articles.

Culture: Spanish culture varies widely between Spain and Latin America, and this can be reflected in the language. For example, certain words and phrases may be more commonly used in Spain to describe certain cultural traditions or events, while different words may be used in Latin America.

TESTIMONIALS

Hazel and Austin Chow’s parents

My son Austin (age 10) and daughter Hazel (age 6) has been studying in Spanish World for the past 2.5years. They immensely enjoyed the study every time they go to the lessons. What is amazing is they managed to learn and advance in Spanish while not having tons of homework. I truly believe it must be the well qualified teachers and education philosophy adopted by the school.

Wini Leung

Before 2016, I was a blank sheet knowing nothing about Spain and its culture. Thanks for the Spanish World, their passions are shown not only from their professionals but also their inner parts. They influence me a lot and they broaden my horizons! Learning is never on books only!

Polly Choi

Wow I’ve been studying here for 5 years already! Nice and energetic teachers, professional teaching, interactive classes… All motivating my learning of Spanish. I started with the travellers course before I took the regular courses. That’s really fun to catch the phrases and have a taste of Spanish food while learning about the culture. I also took the private exam preparation classes for my DELE A2. It’s a great help and I got more than a pass in all components, plus full marks in the speaking part. Now they have much more activities on Spanish learning and Spanish culture and I’m still learning there. That’s really fantastic.

Alice Fogelberg

¡Hola! I took Spanish classes at Las Lilas for 3 modules (2-3 months) and it was amazing! The staff and teachers were wonderful. They were flexible in scheduling classes to fit my schedule, and the teachers were kind, patient, and encouraging! I got much more confidence speaking and writing Spanish with them. I definitely recommend Las Lilas for studying Spanish in KL!

Bee Horng

I have been at Spanish World Malaysia for more than 1 year. Love learning Spanish here, my profesora, Ms Sarah has been great in helping me to tackle the challenges of learning a new language. Spanish World’s profesors & profesoras are all Spanish native speakers, In addition to learning a new language, I’ve also have the opportunities to learn new Hispanic cultural elements which only natives would be able to share with you. My aim is to at least able to converse with Spanish speakers after the 2nd year with my plan to travel to more South America & Central America countries.

Denilson Jong

From the first day joining Spanish world until this one, it has been an exciting roller-coaster of events that has been an exotic ride. Ironic, how I don’t really like roller-coasters literally. Anyhow, this whole entire process has been a major learning experience. It is only thanks to all of the marvelous teachers I have had educate me throughout the journey. The language can be fairly hard at times, but with enough devotion of time, brainpower and with some learning support from teachers I would be able to learn it and apply the certain aspect in my Spanish usage in the future. As of now, the language content and the things I learn have spiked incredibly in difficulty, however I believe that I can surpass these and be able to learn the Spanish accordingly and to further advance in my Spanish learning, and the experience of it.

Michael Wong

The course was very good, the teacher explained everything clearly and it was out of my expectation. I would definitely come back for next time holiday to focus on IGCSE syllabus
