Well, it is, but yanks take it as a very personal insult.
In the USA, the yanks loathe Spanish, people who speak Spanish, and quite a few other things.
The good, or bad thing ( depending on how you look at it ) is that like it or not, they have to swallow it

Yes Spanish is an important language in most of the Western World. It is becoming very important in the United States.
Many non Spanish folks don't like it but I do. I was in South Vietnam when the government they had the idea to cleanse foreign words from the language. This made many people unhappy.

Yes, it is a very important language. Also, it is becoming more important with time. Many Americans, like myself, speak or understand some Spanish.
Many businesses offer the Spanish language as their second language of communication. There are some public schools in the United States that offer exclusively Spanish lectures.

In the not to recent past I had a love interest that happens to be Hispanic.
His English is good, a bit halting, but good. However, when I hear him revert to Spanish it just gets me HOT!!!
Now I understand why it is called a romantic language.
The Spanish language is VERY important in the USA.
Hispanics are here to stay, get over it.
Peace.
EDIT: As Der Lange mentioned. Good luck with your classes.

I think Spanish is one of the romantic languages. What country are you from, if USA what country is your relatives from? (Just asking, you don't have to answer.) I learned Spanish in high school, I took 2 years of it, but I learned from a Cuban and it is different than what they call "street Spanish" in America. Hope this helps you with your project.

Spanish is the spoken language of the largest number of people in the world (yup, even more than Chinese - which isn't one universal language in that country, either).
A daughter of Latin, Spanish has a structure completely different from either British or American English. Studying Spanish is a VERY good way for English-speakers to discover "hidden" elements of language structure not normally taught to us. It is a wonderfully expressive language, and much given to beautiful rhymes and interesting sound combinations.
The upper-class Argentine dialect of Spanish to my ears is the most beautiful spoken language on the planet. I could sit and listen to that all day and not get tired.
I find Spanish less effective in technical and scientific usage than in other arenas of speech. It is an ideal tongue for diplomacy and law, and of course for literature. As for insults - well, only Arabic is more pungent!

Spanish is a very important language here due to the Immigration Reform, so keep up the good work. You too may have the overflow of Spaniards also. We call it here being bilingual.

It is likely that the Americans don't even know where your country is, from what I have heard as well is, that for an American it is unlikely to find an appartment in Madrid, if you are not Spanish...
So maybe if all Spanish learn Englisch and all American Spanish, you can solve a hell lot of issues !

Most americans I speak to, say they want their small children to learn it, or they want to learn it themselves.
They also think it is very hard.
I am American, and pick up foreign languages easily. I am great with the English language, and find Spanish very easy.
I have also studied Russian and Italian, and find Portuguese very difficult....
My husband is Mexican. We speak spanish in the home, but our 21 month old daughter is learning mainly english for now. She'll pick up the spanish when she is ready. She needs to understand English grammar first, and speaking English to our daughter is helping my husband speak proper conversational English.
