Spanish
Spanish-Speaking World
The Spanish language opens up worlds of opportunity! From exotic and historical travel destinations and myriad varieties of music to international business relationships and lively dancing people, Spanish takes you there and keeps you up all night!
The Spanish language is spoken by somewhere between 322 and 400 million people natively, making Spanish the most spoken Romance language and possibly the second most spoken language in terms of total number of native speakers.
21 nations use Spanish as their primary language, and it is one of six official languages of the United Nations. It is the official language of Spain, most Latin American countries and Equatorial Guinea.
Bilingual fluency in Spanish and English is particularly useful in the United States, where its cultural and political influence is well-established and steadily growing.

Spanish Internet TV
Watching people speak Spanish is a good way to gain exposure to the language in a non-study environment. This is great for folks who aren't living where the language is spoken and especially those already proficient in listening comprehension. If you don't understand anything, it's cool to "vegg out" for a while, but it's not the most productive thing you can do to learn. Try to find something with subtitles, and you're on the way. ;)
If you do get into Internet TV, I highly recommend Miro, a free and open source media player with multimedia RSS capability that supports Linux, Mac and Windows. Hey, "because open media matters."
At any rate, below you'll find resources with literally thousands of Internet TV stations in a wide variety of languages. Amongst them you'll find plenty in Spanish. Enjoy!
