Why is Spain less well known in the country than German and French? In fact, Spanish has not been on fire in China for a long time, and the Spanish textbooks and various books on the market today are relatively few compared to other languages. There are reasons for this

1. The reason why compared with German and French, everyone is relatively unfamiliar with Spanish, in fact, has a lot to do with Spain. Despite the large number of Spanish speakers, Spain, since the napoleonic era, has degenerated into a weak country that is not in Europe and can only be bullied back and forth by the new powers. In the era of World War I and World War II, it was just a pawn of the new powers of Germany, France and Britain. In terms of comprehensive national strength such as economy, politics, military, and culture, it can be said that it is no longer necessary to mention it. And China is eager to learn advanced technology from the West, of course, to focus on advanced countries, not countries with large populations, and Germany and France are of course the focus of China's learning, and Spain is nothing to learn.

2. Although Spanish has a wide base for latin American use, because it is the backyard of the United States, the economic cooperation between China and Latin America is not too much compared to Africa. It was only because of China's large-scale overseas investment in the past few years that it began to partially enter Latin America, buy mines and open factories, which led to the enthusiasm for learning Spanish in China.

3. Let's talk about cultural exchanges. The Spanish literature that Chinese knows is nothing more than Cervantes and Márquez, and in the Spanish-speaking world, it is also Cervantes who mentions back and forth, as if in addition to him, Spanish literature can not come up with more awesome characters. One of the reasons is also because Spanish literature and religion have come too close, they are all nagging gods, and those things are too strange and too far away for Chinese, and there are very few works that have become world-class books. And Defa, similar to Cervantes's characters are a big grasp, and many literary works do not have so many gods and gods to be bound, but more to spread advanced humanistic ideas, which are easily accepted by readers around the world.

In short, the breadth of a language's spread is related to the population base of a language, but it is by no means a decisive factor, and in the end, it is still the comprehensive national strength. For example, Japanese, if there had not been some mutation in history, Japan would have been a bitter place like Vietnam, so that not many people would have learned Japanese, just as not many people pay attention to Vietnamese today. Indonesian/Malay should also be a very popular language, but the truth is that this language is not important, although Indonesia is the country with the largest Muslim population. If it weren't for the abundance of oil, who would have the leisure to learn Arabic? Isn't it all because the oil resources in those parts of the Middle East are too rich, and everyone will learn out of economic interests? Did you learn Arabic to learn industrial technology with them?

Again, the number of people who support a language is a factor, but the decisive factor is definitely a solid comprehensive national strength, and the Spanish language, except for the number of people, is not bad, unless, one day, Spain returns to the golden age of that year, although this possibility is very small.
