National Spanish Results In

And according to the U.S. Census Office, our nation will have an estimated 138 million Spanish speakers by 2050 -- which would make it the biggest Spanish-speaking nation on Earth! These statistics underscore why it is so important that our Academy boys are not only learning the language, but excelling at it.
