Abstract

Learning the second most spoken language in the world is necessary in a globalized world marked by international migration and communication. As second language of international communication, the Spanish offers significant opportunities in all parts of the world. For this reason, many researchers are not hesitant to talk about the economic value of Spanish; for example, the book edited by García Delgado, entitled: El español lengua de comunicación científica (2013). The aim of this study is to address the advantages of learning Spanish and for that, we have selected some specific texts that support and are mentioned in the work.
