I mean if you want to say Spain is the only country outside of the New World where Spanish is of any utility, I'll support that argument. It's a stronger form of the argument I was making that Spanish is irrelevant outside of Latin America and the US.
You're tearing down the one concession I was offering gribbler that Spanish is relevant somewhere besides Spain and Latin America/USA

Money, time, and numbers over 10 in general are dominated by Spanish terms here. Of course an arty person like Tupac would think those are irrelevant
Spammish is the new global language they should be teaching in schools. Not only will educating children in Spammish allow them to avoid a myriad of scams and viruses, but will open up a huge amount of opportunities for them to spam scams and viruses themselves. We are falling behind teh Russians and Nigerians in this vast economy of the future.
Of course we should go back to also teaching English in our public schools as well.

Learning other languages is quite challenging. Arabic reading and writing is no more a secret. There are lots of ways now on how to learned Arabic like online learning through e books, software packages,video, study cards & etc. Think-in-Arabic.com may helps.

Mae'r iaith Gymraeg yn swnio yn amheus fel yr un a ddefnyddir Lovecraft ar gyfer y cwpled am Cthulhu. Nid wyf yn gwybod beth yr iaith honno yn cael ei alw, ond dylem edrych i mewn i'r posibilrwydd bod y Cymry yn yr holl ffieidd-dra sgwid-wyneb o ryw fath.
