Spanish (Castilian) is an official language in Spain and is spoken throughout Latin America. It is also an official language of Equatorial Guinea and is widely studied as a second language in the United States, Brazil, and Western Europe.
About 500 million people speak Spanish as a first language; counts of all users including second-language speakers are often placed near 600 million.
Spanish is a mostly synthetic Romance language: verbs carry rich endings for person, tense, and mood; nouns and adjectives agree in gender (masculine/feminine) and number. Word order is flexible compared with English, with subject pronouns often omitted because the verb ending identifies the subject. Learners focus on ser vs. estar, the subjunctive, and object pronoun placement.
