Why Learn Spanish?

Spanish has approximately 485 million native speakers, making it the second most spoken language by native speakers in the world, after Mandarin Chinese. It is the official language of 21 countries, spanning Latin America, Spain, and Equatorial Africa. In the United States alone, Spanish is spoken by over 40 million people as a first language — a figure that continues to grow. Globally, Spanish-speaking markets represent major economic opportunity across media, tourism, trade, and technology.

For English speakers, Spanish is considered one of the most accessible languages to learn. The grammar follows predictable patterns, pronunciation is largely phonetic, and verb conjugations — while numerous — follow regular rules that reward consistent practice. Spanish also divides into two major varieties: Latin American Spanish and Castilian Spanish from Spain. MindCards A1 vocabulary covers high-frequency words common to both, ensuring your foundation is solid no matter which variety you go on to specialise in.
