Speaking Spanish


Most Latin Americans need to learn a second language, except Brazil, where most of the population needs, in addition to English, also learn a third language, Spanish. First, Spanish is, after English, the second most used language as an international vehicle for communication, especially in trade. In the United States and Canada, Spanish is the second most popular language. Second, for Brazil, the reason for this is that the main Latin American countries and trade partners of Brazil in Mercosur (South Common Market) speak Spanish. Only three small non-Hispanic countries, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana, at the northern end of the continent do not speak Spanish, all other countries in this market speak. However, beyond South America, also in Central America and Mexico dominate Spanish. In conclusion, learn Spanish has become highly valued in the Brazilian labor market, after English, for those who need to interact with this gigantic market for reasons of work or culturally.
