There are only 500 million people speaking Spanish at this moment... the US is one of the places where it's growing faster...

I "never" studied English in a "formal" manner... yet, I am beginning to know that I don't know... much... of this amazing language...

"El saber no ocupa lugar" ("knowledge occupies no space" = you can never know [learn] too much...)

Beginning to know that one doesn't know it is not a lesson in humbleness but one in wisdom.

Empezar a saber que uno no sabe no es una lección de humildad, sino de sabiduría.

To learn or not to learn... that is the question!
