More than 350,000,000 people speak Spanish and it is the second business language world-wide.
Businesses are investing heavily in the Spanish and Latin American markets so, in almost any international career, you will not only need to speak Spanish but also know the different cultures to be successful. In the past, "studying Spanish" was believed to be a convenient way to open doors, now knowing Spanish and the Latin social and business culture are a necessity.
How Can I Best Learn Spanish?
Our students tell us "there is a difference between studying and learning Spanish. Learning another language is more than memorizing vocabulary and grammar. There are many things you cannot learn in class or from a book. Being there is key and it is experience that is the real teacher". Through this technique, you speed up comprehension and usage because you are actually living the language. You should consider these reasons when deciding to study in a foreign country:
You've temporarily left your job, family and placed your school responsibilities aside. You won't be distracted and can actually focus 100 percent on learning the language.
Everything around you will contribute to learning. Catching a bus, ordering a meal will enable you to be taking in every aspect of how to live out the Spanish language and apply it to everyday circumstances. All your interests can be included to help you out. Whether it is food, art, social contacts, history, beaches or outdoor activities, we offer a program that will allow you to pursue those interests while you learn this beautiful language.
Compared to the costs of many home-country courses or university tuition, your study abroad immersion program can cost much less, even when airfare, lodging and meals are taken into account. Consider your career goals, advanced degree programs and future potential employers who either require foreign language skills or find it to be an incredible asset. You can never go wrong in opening yourself up to a new language and the life experience that speaking it will bring you.
