Spanish (español, castellano) is a language originating in North-Central Spain which is spoken throughout Spain, most countries in the Americas, the Philippines and Equatorial Guinea.
It is an inflected language, with a two-gender system and about fifty conjugated forms per verb, but without noun declension and simplified pronominal declension.
Spanish was the first of the Romance languages to have a grammar, written in 1492 by the Andalusian linguist Antonio de Nebrija.
The Real Academia Española (RAE) traditionally dictates the rules of the Spanish language.
This article first describes the most formal and standard rules of modern Spanish, and then goes on to detail idioms and colloquialisms.
Formal differences between Peninsular and American Spanish are remarkably few, and someone who has learned the dialect of one area will have no difficulties using reasonably formal speech in the other, however, pronunciation does vary.

Colombiano escogido para edición de la Nueva gramática de la lengua española

Juan Carlos Villamizar, colombiano escogido para edición de la Nueva gramática de la lengua española

Juan Carlos Villamizar, representante de Colombia. Allí, su papel principal consistió en ayudar a la Academia a establecer los modismos del idioma que usan a diario los colombianos. Entrar a un supermercado en España y pedir una libra de alverjas es exponerse a no ser entendido. Aunque a principios del siglo XX aún se usaban los dos términos, hoy nadie los conoce. Para los españoles, lo correcto es decir 'medio kilo de guisantes'. Esa es apenas una de las experiencias sobre las diferencias del habla en España, que ha vivido el bogotano Juan Carlos Villamizar, elegido como el representante de nuestro país para la edición de la Nueva gramática de la lengua española, de la Real Academia Española (RAE) que se publicará a comienzos del año entrante en los países de habla hispana.

The Importance of Speaking Spanish

Spanish population is rising-up in a high rate lately in the US. The growing integration of economies and societies around the world, has been one of the most hotly-debated topics in international economies over the past few years. Rapid growth and poverty reduction in China, India, and other countries in South America, like Chile and Colombia, which most of them were considered poor 20 years ago, has been a positive aspect of Globalization. But has also generated significant international opposition over concerns that it has increased inequality distribution of wealth.



How to improve that?, with readiness for competition, named "Education", the more languages you speak the better!. The second largest language around the world "Spanish", the emerging economies, Chile, Mexico, Peru and Colombia, without talking about Venezuela and their oil.



A survey of Tampa Area Business identified as; Important work place skills: Team work, honesty, client-centeredness, ability to organize, interpret and communicate information, good writing, listening and speaking skills in both English and Spanish.

3-Students will be able to describe how the concept of culture relates to their own experience.

4-Students will understand the importance of learning other languages and be aware of their own culture.

Purpose:

I want make students aware of the "Importance of education", to the changing needs of the workplace, and to identify and understand differences from each other aspects, culture, personality, age, gender, level of education, abilities, and any other personal features that make each individual a unique human being.
Cultural groups do have certain characteristics in common. But within each group, there is always abroad range of individual differences. Students might ask why people from United States would need to have their culture revealed to them-isn't their own culture pretty obvious?
But people within a culture are in many ways the least able to see it. Cultural beliefs, values, and behaviors are so ingrained that we are often unaware of our own.
