In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, do you know how many countries in the world speak Spanish? If you do know, do you know how to say that number in Spanish? Well, I am not going to reveal the number because I hope you and your Advisory will watch the quick video answering how many countries speak Spanish in the world!
