I'm going to be in the IB program starting next year, and need 4 years of the same language. I know that more people speak Spanish, but what about in Europe? I'm not very interested in going to South America. I plan on going to Europe to countries like Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands...western countries. Which of the two languages is more used there?

I'm looking for books by a few American authors that were originally written in Spanish, not written in English and later translated.

By American I mean the U.S. only, not other parts of North/South America.

The original language should be Spanish.

Does anyone know of any? Thanks!

This just makes me mad. I visited South America and all there movies and television were in english, most kids new a pretty good amount of English from school. and they didnt complain. but americans, there like "why should i learn another language. Im from the United States of America bitch! we dont need to have another language!" People from other countries are willing to embrace another countries culture and langauge but people from the U.S are to cocky or lazy to. This is why people hate us, we all think we are to good for everyone else.
Thank u for all the people who politely argued against me. I appreciated it, But all u people who freaked the fuck out get a life. I love america I was not trying to offened anyone. I was just saying that most of the americans I know are so ignorant and hate any foreigners who speak another language. i didnt mean to make it seem like all. Some of y'all are racist not everyone who comes here is illegal and THEAmericanPatriot i kno 3 languages, its not like i was trying to type all perfectly on a freakin Yahoo answers shit board.

I am looking to study Spanish in a great location in South America for several weeks. I am a US citizen and would prefer somewhere outside of a major city where it might be less expensive. There are so many schools out there it seems difficult to tell which are good. I am open to schools with home-stay options though this is not necessary. SPECIFIC school names (or links to websites) would be much appreciated. Thanks!!

I am interested in studying Spanish in Mexico or South America. I want to study as an international student at a university, rather than going through a Spanish language program (such as don Quixote). Which universities have the best Spanish programs for international students?

Of course next to the Koran. Spanish is being studied by emerging young terrorists.

Do they plan to Start working their magic in South America. Or is walking across the Arizona Border more timely
