In Spanish, there is no literal equivalent to the English verb ‘to like’, in fact the nearest in both meaning and, more importantly, in the way that it is used, is the verb gustar, which literally translated means ‘to please’. To emphasize this; if you were to say in English, ‘I like my coffee strong’, the Spanish equivalent when translated would be ‘Strong coffee pleases me’. The use of the verb gustar is actually very simple compared to other Spanish verbs.

The different sounds that the letter"d" takes at the end of a verb in the past tense
An extract from the book: Word Power by the author of this article.

As the world continues to get smaller, there is increasing awareness of the need for a worldwide common language. This would be a language you could learn and be certain you could use virtually everywhere you go. For historical reasons, English already more or less fulfils this role, but it is still far from universal.

In Spanish there are just as many tenses as there are in English, this being twelve all together however, in Spanish as opposed to English there are more structures to these tenses.

(Apart from situations when ambiguity could be a problem).
English and French have a lot in common, which should make French English translation that much simpler.
