Spanish, one of the most spoken languages in the world

Today, it has become logical to learn English because it is one of the most used languages in the professional world. Yet it is Spanish that is the most spoken language in the world, just behind Mandarin. Think about it : learning Spanish means being part of a community of 500 million people in more than 20 countries...

Knowing how to speak Spanish, in addition to your mother tongue and English, is to have valuable tools to evolve in an increasingly open world.

Spanish is a rather simple language

Be careful, we are not trying to say that it is easy to learn a new foreign language. To learn Spanish, as for other languages, you have to work, take the time to review vocabulary and speak with a native or a teacher. But if you already speak English, Spanish will surely seem familiar to you.

Many grammar rules are similar, many words look alike, and conjugation is simple. The most complicated, finally, is to master the rolling of the "r" …

Speak Spanish to travel

As explained above, Spanish is a language spoken by nearly 500 million people worldwide. So you're likely to meet people who speak Spanish on a trip, especially in South America. Spanish is the official (or at least, co-official) language in many countries: Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Puerto Rico, Uruguay, Venezuela and of course, Spain.

Rather than flying over the cities in which you travel, really absorb the atmosphere and culture of the country by talking with locals.

One language, but many cultures to discover

Did you know that by learning a language, you can have access to many different cultures? Obviously, it's not exactly the same Spanish that is spoken in Spain and Central America or even in the Andes. There are several dialects and variations of Spanish. But that's exactly what makes it so interesting. Discover Mexican customs, taste Spanish specialties and explore the Peruvian mountains.

In the United States, we even noticed the appearance of "spanglish", a variant combining Spanish and English terms. For example, "disfrutar" and "enjoy" become "enjoyar".
