Minor corrections: El español es el segundo idioma de este paÃ*s. "Idioma" is masculine. Nouns of Greek origin that end in -ma, -pa, and -ta are masculine. Examples include:
* el programa/ program
* el mapa/ map
* el poeta/ poet
* el planeta/ planet
* el idioma/ language
* el sistema/ system
* el telegrama/ telegram
* el problema/ problem
* el clima/ climate
* el drama/ drama
* el cometa/ comet
* el diploma/ diploma
* el tema/ theme
(source)

Also, I think you should use the word "segundo" instead of "secondario," although I'm not sure. To me, the word "secondario" has the connotation of "high school" or "secondary school." Maybe it's just me.

I often see /hear those confused all the time. I didn't even realized I made that mistake myself till right before i saw this post.

One common word that can be very confusing, even for native speakers, is 'el hambre.' Even though it has the article 'el,' it is a feminine noun that takes feminine adjectives. For example, 'tengo mucha hambre.' There are a lot of other common words that work this way, too.

So, since when did I become an expert? Ha! I'm not (not even close). I really wish I could become fluent in Spanish. BTW, I studied German in high school and some day I'd love to take a refresher. I think I'd do much better now.
