How commonly spoken is your country’s second language? If I only spoke that language, would I be likely to make friends? (chachara.club)

USA: Spanish. I’m learning Spanish, and I think as a whole it’s like 18% of people in the USA but I feel like you’re likely to encounter some Spanish speakers and make friends even if not everyone speaks Spanish here.

Brazil: It looks like Spanish is also the second most spoken language with 4% or English with around 5%. I’m sure you’re more likely to find people on the Internet who speak it.

French: English, apparently a quarter of the population speak it??? Not sure how likely you are to find someone in the wild speaking it, but on the Internet, a lot of people.

there's this very cool album by uruguayan chito de mello where he sings in portuñol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vj4ciV6byoY&list=PLlyEVWgddML9Y9f4i-jtF0nBvB9oBUnIC
