If you do learn spanish which spanish language. Castellon, Valencian, Basque, Catalan, each has its own language. English, that is all you need.
Sorry linguists, is true. If you make and bring money here, people will speak English for this is sure. If you want to integrate of course learn the language, it is polite and good for business too.

Personally, if I wanted to speak english I'd have gone to an english speaking country. I didnt like it when immigrants came to the UK and didnt try to intergrate by learning the language - i thought it was extremely rude and arrogant. I wonder if the spanish feel the same??
