Non-native: how is english language in your country?

I've heard quite the opposite, that English is said to be one of the hardest languages you can try to learn. But Spanish and English are very similar to each other, so I imagine where as Spanish is the easiest language an English-speaker can learn it probably works the other way too.

Here needless to say English is the official language, but there are some places where you'll find an abundance of speakers in some other langauge or another, especially areas of the southwest that speak mostly Spanish.
I've heard some talk of making Spanish an official language too, considering it is the native langauge to so many people here and there are a number of places where Spanish is more common than English.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
