ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Iwould like to thank my best friend Lencho for helping me with my Spanish and making it fun at the same time. I’m also grateful to my many Spanish teachers who helped me fall in love with Spanish along the way. Some Spanish classes are dull, but I was very lucky most of the time. Last but definitely not least, I wish to thank the Spanish speakers I’ve met all over the world, particularly in Mexico, Costa Rica, and Spain (the only three Spanish-speaking countries I’ve been to so far). Your beautiful language is a perfect expression of your beautiful countries, and I appreciate your willingness to speak it with me—and your patience. ¡Muchísimas gracias!
INTRODUCTION
Learning Spanish is fun, and you know why? Because it opens up whole new worlds to you. Spanish is one of the most commonly spoken languages in the world— hundreds of millions of people in dozens of countries speak it. You know Spanish is spoken in Spain, but did you know that it’s also spoken in most of Central and South America, from Mexico to Chile? In fact, there are only a few countries in Latin America where Spanish isn’t spoken, like Brazil and Belize. There are also millions of Spanish speakers in the United States and in other countries all over the world. So by learning Spanish, you’ll be able to talk to all of these people and learn about the similarities and differences between their countries and cultures and your own.
Plus, if you can convince someone like your mom, dad, brother, sister, or best friend to learn Spanish with you, you’ll be able to study and practice together. It’s a lot more fun learning Spanish when you have someone to speak it with regularly. You can help each other understand the tricky parts
