I agree with Jostan, Spanish is not a very prominent language here, although it is certainly growing. Even in Amsterdam Spanish/Latin American immigrants are not a very visible group, although there are quite a few.
Everyone speaks at least a bit of English, and at high schools English, French and German are compulsory. Because of immigration Turkish and Arab are also visibly present and taught at certain schools, but I think after those Spanish is the most popular optional language at schools. It certainly is pretty 'hip' to learn Spanish now, but still relatively marginal.
