In 2020, this is still the common sentiment of several U.S. marketers. Our team questioned if it is true. Is the Spanish language going to die in the United States in 30 years? In addition to the facts you
can see on the infographic, our team found the following:
- Census is estimating 138 million Spanish speakers by 2050, making the United States the biggest
Spanish speaking country in the world. - There are over 2,000 elementary Dual Immersion school programs teaching Spanish & other
languages to affluent English-dominant families’ children. - Currently, Spanish is the 2nd most spoken native language in the world and will reach over 750
million by 2050. - In 2018, Eton Institute names the Spanish language as the #1 Language to Learn.
- China has committed to teaching Spanish in all of its schools to strive to have Spanish as their
country’s official second language.
So, is it really dying, or are we trying to justify our business strategies by stating it is?
