This page is dedicated to 

Coral T., 

who was a pretty young woman living in Mexico City in the 1960s
and whom I remember as very kind, true and sincere pen pal. 
She told me so much about her fascinating country, its people, music, and culture.

Coral, I will never forget our friendship, thanks!

Spanish is spoken by about 350 million people as a native language and a total of about 420 million people all over the world. After Chinese (Mandarin) it is the second most natively-spoken language in the world and one of the six official languages of the United Nations.

The special tip:

Recently, the Spanish edition is available from Amazon. This makes sense especially for those Spanish-learners they already have reached the B1 level or higher. The availability of particular books, DVDs and CDs to learn Spanish and to practice and consolidate the knowledge through reading and listening is huge.

Here are some examples:

- Learn Spanish = Aprender español en Amazon
- Simenon/Maigret in Spanish = Maigret en espanol

We will work out some special offers in the next few days.

Special tip

Please note:  This link does'nt work anymore because this service is only very limited available. It was the best site and possibility to test the own abilities in European languages seriously. It has been used and recommended by many professional institutes like universities and others. It is really a scandal that this project of the European Commission has been and it is not yet clear why they have done so. Was it a question of costs? Was it influence by the big language institutes? Something else? I hope I can tell you about it sometime in next months.  (06/2010)
