Según mis exigencias, todo aquel que piense que el español tiene importancia habrá de perecer.
Morirás porque así lo deseo.

Yes. The important difference is Spanish is the most inutie regional language because hispanic people speak their dialects languages or Quechua, Aymara, Guarani, Quiche, Portunhol, Catalan, Galician, Basque, Aragonese, Asturian, and Leonese. They study REAL/CASTILIAN as SECOND language. Real/Castilian Spanish is NOT a native tongue for over 100 million people, like Queens English, Parisian French, Muscovite Russian, or Mandarin Chinese. It is hardly spoken by 25 million as mother tongue, like a regional dialect in Africa and Asia (Hottentot, Telugu, Miao, and Hiri Motu).
Yes. It is also true. Thank you, Hispanic Fanatic for doing all the job. Anglophone people (and you must remember that they are neutral) see they declared that there are only TWO GLOBAL languages, English and French and if there's athird it could be Russian not Spanish.
This point is very important. Spanish remains submerged and is sinking into the bottom most pit among the languages of the world. Why I need to study the "in theory" "second international language", if I can study the most important ones English and French?
In Hispanic America like Panama, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Honduras and even Mexico, and Colombia. (and all the World), people make this question every day. The answer is easy. They study English now. In Philippines, Marianas, and Guam ALL people speak English. Nobody speak French. They are "hispanic" countries only in SURNAME only and to thionk that they were colonized by Madre España for 300+ years.
Which languages are important yet? French and Russian. They are dominant languages in a big area, spoken by over 200 million as secondary tongue, and where English is not very useful.
Perhaps, we can add to this group Arabic and Chinese, but obviously not Spanish.

<< But, if they switch to English, like Rwanda, Burundi or Madagascar?, or to Arabic like Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania and Tunisia? The international status of French depends ONLY on several African countries, and the tendency is very bad...>>
BOBO and IGNORANT, just Rwanda Burundi and Madagascar are still French even if the latter adopted English.
You haven't mentioned Nigeria, Ghana, Gambia, Sierra Leone, and even Liberia are making French equal to English in fact it's not only mandatory in elementary but it's now a medium of instruction in those countries in subjects as math, science and social studies.
But, if they switch to English, like Panama, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Honduras, and even Mexico and Colombia ?, or to Quechua and Aymara like Peru, Bolivia, and Ecuador; Guarani as Paraguay or Quiche as Guatemala? The regional status of Spanish depends ONLY on several Western Hemisphere countries, and the tendency is very bad...

At least the Yahoo user can make logical arguments.
This is from French reality check's post:
<< Thank you for supporting my assumption that after English, Chinese and Spanish would be some of the best to study for the future. >>
Thank you for showing that your BOBO but you got the wrong context.
<< Yes, thank you. This is what I think, especially because I'm a native English speaker. If you know the most important international language, there is not much point for a claimed "2nd". Any large regional language would be useful depending on your situation and interests. >>
Thank you too! But your a native bastardized Spanish speaker not English and French is the 2nd most important, Russian is 3rd and Spanish is 100th.
<< My point is that after English, ALL OTHER large languages are more or less equal regionally. (Although French is the LEAST spoken of them.) In reality there is no 2nd most important international language, mainly because the strong presence of English has eliminated the practical need for a "2nd".>>
My point of view there is a 2nd one and that's French and never Spanish.

I want to explain to Hispanic Fanatics the situation of Spanish today. Perhaps, they need a good example to understand the health of Spanish nowadays.
The comparison of French and Spanish is like the comparison of Dutch and Spanishh.
Dutch people can say that they have a global language, because in the past (like French say) Dutch was spoken in Asia (Indonesia), in Africa (South Africa), Americas (Surinam) and Europe (Belgium and Holland).
That is true. If Dutch say that, they are not wrong. But Spanish people can say that Dutch is spoken of the International languages in the World ion par with Spanish. It is hardly spoken by 40 million people (including Afrikaans).
Nowadays, Dutch is not important. It is not so studied. Spanish is spoken by over the double of people around the World. It is obvious that Spanish are not right here. To compare Spanish and Dutch is a nonsense: Spanish 's important is the same as with the Dutch.
Because Hispanic American Spanish will suffer the same fate like the Cape Dutch now known as Afrikaans. Hispanic American Spanish is evolving into separate languages.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Well, the comparison between French and Spanish is not the same.
In short, Spanish people can't live in the future. They should consider, like in the example, that French is spoken by the double of people around the World as secondary language. French is more studied, more widespread and more spoken.
To compare French and Spanish is a nonsense.
PD. But French is not the enemy. That is an important point. Hispanic people will see other languages that will be more important in the near future: Chinese, Arabic and Portuguese, for example. Spanish won't be in the top ten languages in 2050. You should think in these things because by that time it's already extinct like Latin and all the remnants will be known as Castilian, Colombian, Mexican, Venezuelan, Argentinianetc. languages like the remnant of Latin today French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, Catalan, and the will be extinct Spanish.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Spanish is most inutile of the regional languages. Francophones, Anglophones, Russians, or Arabics are not guilty of this situation. It is due to several factors, not other linguistic groups of people.

Well, Spanish is not studied everywhere.
Dutch is studied in Germany,Russia,USA,Denmark(Dutch and Danish people are founding their historical,cutural and ethnic liaisons)and so on. Number of Dutch speakers(most of them are of local Surinamese origin) is rising in Delta Amacuro and Bolivar "states" in Venezuela.

Learn French as a Second Language for a World of Opportunities
If you're an occasional visitor to France then learning French allows you to enjoy much more of the experience. However, that's not the only reason to learn French as a second language.
As an Englishman living and working in France I'm one of those people who had to learn French as a second language and I have to say it's been of huge benefit both from a business and personal point of view.
But why French, you might ask. People say that Chinese is the most spoken language in the world, English second and Spanish third, why do I suggest learning French - apart from the fact I'm quite obviously biased!
Well Chinese may be the most spoken language but that's simply a population thing - it's not spoken much outside China and its dependents. Unless your business is specifically with China there isn't much commercial advantage. You probably won't visit many Chinese speaking countries on holiday either.
English is obviously very useful and probably the world's first second language, by which I mean if you're Chinese you learn English, if you're Russian you learn English, if you're German, Moroccan, etc.
Spanish is spoken in Spain, is common in a lot of the southern US and all but one of the countries in South America speak it. Very useful if you're on holiday but limited commercial possibilities.
It might surprise you to know that French is the sole official language of 33 different countries. It's additionally the official language of another 16 countries which have two official languages like Belgium and Canada.
You can add another couple of dozen where French is important because of significant French-speaking populations from Brazil to Vietnam, from Egypt to Trinidad. In all, something in the region of 200 million people speak French every day.
If that wasn't enough incentive to learn French as a second language there are many well-known international organizations that have French as their official language. Interpol, Amnesty International, The Red Cross (and Red Crescent), The United Nations, The International Olympic Committee, The World Health organization...
So if you're looking for a language that's useful in business, consider learning French. It's not only useful in France itself but Belgium and Switzerland in Europe. It's an official Canadian language of course and it's used in many countries in North Africa. It's also frequently used in the Middle East and Asia and several of the south sea or Polynesian islands like Hawaii. It's even used in the Arctic!
Obviously the same goes if you're going on holiday. If you learn French as a second language you're going to be understood - and dare I say it, better treated - in literally dozens of countries. You might even like one of them so much you end up living there like I did!
Learning a second language isn't ever easy, but modern language systems like the ones you can download use immersion techniques and entertaining interactive lessons and games to make learning French faster and with better retention. Some claim, with justification, to be able to get you to a competent level of French in just a couple of months.
So how about a business trip to Burundi or a layover in Luxembourg? How about a sojourn in Senegal or a trip to Togo? Learning French as a second language literally opens up a whole world of possibilities.
