I said it is the largest spanish speaking country. I didn't say it has the most spanish speakers. Also I'm talking about Argentina not Venezuela. - AdanLopez, Feb 29, 2012

You mean the largest in geographical area or population? - ocbizlaw, Feb 29, 2012

Hola Adan, yes you would use the present progressive for this sentence. "Argentina is the largest spanish speaking country in the world." in Spanish? So I think it would be Argentina esta la mas granda espano-hablando pais en el mundo. - aunque, Feb 29, 2012
