Don’t be surprised if walking down the street someone says to you ¡Hola! or ¿Qué pasa? More and more Spanish is becoming a common language of use in the United States. With over 40,000,000 Hispanics in the U.S. and many non-Hispanics taking Spanish as a second language in schools, it is no surprise that Spanish is after English the most spoken language in the United States. In fact the United States ranks as the 3rd largest Spanish speaking country in the world!
Markets are expanding, cultural exchanges add to the richness of our lives, and bridges are being built to encourage harmony and progress.
By the way, the next time someone says ¿qué pasa? (What’s happening?), be adventurous and say, ¡nada, todo bien (everything’s great!). They’ll be impressed.
