Spanish

Spanish is a Romance language spoken by about 460 million people worldwide, making it the second most spoken language in terms of native speakers. It is the official language of Spain and is also spoken widely across Latin America, and even in some parts of the Caribbean and Africa.

How hard is it to learn Spanish?

One of the benefits of learning Spanish is that it is relatively easy to learn for English speakers, as both languages have a similar grammatical structure and many cognates (words that are similar in both languages). Spanish is also a phonetic language, meaning that it is pronounced exactly as it is written, which can make it easier to learn to speak.

It can take an English speaker approximately 24-30 weeks of study to reach proficiency in Spanish.

Why should I learn Spanish?

Spanish is a language with a vibrant cultural legacy renowned for its melodiousness and emotiveness. It is highly sought-after for personal and professional purposes alike. Apart from its practical applications in the fields of business and travel, acquiring Spanish skills opens doors to a plethora of enriching cultural experiences, including literature, art, music, and cinema. If you're considering learning Spanish, rest assured it can be a fun and rewarding experience.
