Hola Amigos, 

It’s never too late for a new year’s resolution, and learning a language is one that can be entertaining and educational.  Spanish is the fourth most widely spoken language in the world, so if you are a traveler or would like to become one, the chances of visiting a place where Spanish is spoken are high.
