¡Hola! ¡Bienvenidos a la página web de español! Spanish is the second most common language in the United States, the third most common in the world, and after English, the most studied language in universities in the United States today. The influence of Spanish is evident everywhere in the United States from the names of many places like Colorado, Florida, Nevada, Los Angeles, San Antonio, La Villita, etc., and
the names of foods like tortilla, enchilada, salsa and tacos. The Hispanic influence is notable in many artistic endeavors: dance, music, theater, cinema, and now more than ever, television. Large groups of Hispanic immigrants have settled in the United States. The largest of these are Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, and Cuban Americans. In addition, large groups of Dominicans and Central Americans have also established themselves here forming an integral part of U.S. culture and society. Fluency in Spanish and knowledge of the different cultures among the Hispanic population will definitely benefit anyone choosing a career in fields such as the medicine, law, education, business or government. |
