¿Porqué no me sorprende que eres masoquista? - Fredbong, Sep 13, 2011
You tell me , why are you not surprised ? But at least I do smile at my pain, but not at the pain of others. - ray76, Sep 13, 2011

It may be a little known fact but Spanish is the third most widely spoken language in the world behind Mandarin Chinese and English. There are also more Spanish speakers in the US (45million) than the population of Spain (44 million)!

It is therefore definitely useful to have Spanish as a second language as it opens up a number of opportunities both in business as well as other relationships. Besides, I learn Spanish because of the thrill in being able to speak and understand a different language.

Because I love Spain and in particular I love Barcelona. I've just signed up for a Spanish evening class and then I found this brilliant site. I'm hoping it gives me the edge in the classroom. wink

Indeed, this question is asked frequently. I often feel embarrassed when I answer because I don't have a very clear answer. Sometimes I glibly answer "porque quiero", or "porque puedo"

I do too .I don not know why we can not give good answers. - Shabbu, Sep 13, 2011
"Porque quiero" is as good an answer as you need. - TejanoViejo, Sep 13, 2011

Because i wanted to learn a Latin based language.

Italian and Spanish were my favorite candidates.

Italian sounds a little prettier in my humble opinion but Spanish won due to the huge numbers of speakers world wide.

I made a practical choice but i love it anyway. grin

For me Italian is easier because there are so many Italian 1st 2nd and 3rd generation here that it is almost a second language, but I love the feel of Spanish on my tongue , and the incredible challenge it poses. - ray76, Sep 13, 2011

Hi I am Pika.

I was always fascinated by this language and was waiting for the right time.

Now, in a couple of months I am going to be living in a country which has about 90% Spanish speaking population and so here is my chance grin

And once I learned about this site I fell in love with our teacher Paralee grin she is such a darling and makes it fun learning experience for beginners like me.

Aprendo español porque es el idioma de España donde nacieron mis abuelos maternales. Lo hablo con mis familiares que viven allí todavia. Es un idioma muy bonita y hay muchos hispanohablantes en el mundo y también en California donde vivo. Lo uso en mi trabajo para comunicar con los obreros.

Es una parte de mi vida.

En primer lugar, croberts (arriba) tiene una buena razón, lo cual es que vivimos en un país que tiene tantas hispanohablantes que, francamente, es sin sentido no hablar la lenguaje. Por lo menos, asi pienso.

Además, porque demasiadas canciones, demasiadas peliculas, demasiados amigos y demasiado drama me faltaba por no conocer esta lengua hermosa. (Si, tengo que admitir que me gustan las telenovelas, pero, por favor, ¡no le diga mi esposa! )

También, hace muchos años, el español fue la lengua de mis antepasadas (y, por supuesto, mis antepasados), y creo que yo debería honrarlos, por aprendiendo sus idioma.

(Oh, my; I can see I'll need a trip to the island, soon. . . wink )
