¿Por qué personas de habla inglesa quieren aprender español?

[poli]

I have heard that Spanish is more widely spoken but doubt it. Maybe what they mean is Spanish as a mother tongue. Perhaps they forget about India. Every Indian that I have known speaks English (some better than others).

Spanish is widely spoken in New York, but the number of Spanish-speaking residents of Manhattan is shrinking. In other boroughs it is holding its own or growing. I am sure that Mexico City is the largest Spanish-speaking city in the world.
