There are 20 countries where Spanish is the official language, and a total of over 400 million natives (more than English). The figure goes over 500 million if you include people who speak it more or less, but this figure is then lower than for English.

I personally do not find it difficult to talk to people who speak Portuguese or Italian even though I know nearly nothing about their language, and they seem to be able to understand me if I speak slowly, clearly and avoiding idiomatic expressions, but not all natives of Spanish seem to be able to do the same.

Welcome to the forum imuhaju! You can use Spanish all over the world. A dozen countries in Latin America, and Spain of course. If you are interested in English as well, then you must learn to capitalize the first word in a sentence. Also the personal pronoun "I," is always capitalized.

If you and Alicia4 would update your profiles to indicate where you are from it would be helpful to everybody, and to yourselves as well. We can share strengths based upon where you live.
