If you want to get on in today's modern world, using just English is not enough anymore. It really pays to learn at least one more language. The obvious choice is Spanish, the next most widely spoken language globally. By learning Spanish, you can communicate with another half billion people. Let's look at some facts:

Reasons

Spanish is the second world language as a vehicle of international communication and the third as an international language of politics, economics and culture ⁽¹⁾.
About 330 million people in the world speak Spanish as their first language ⁽²⁾.
The demand for Spanish courses has doubled worldwide in ten years ⁽³⁾.
Spanish is the official language in 21 countries ⁽⁴⁾.
Approximately another 100 million people speak Spanish as second language.
In the United States 13% of the population speak Spanish as their first language ⁽⁵⁾.
In the United States and Canada, Spanish is the most popular foreign language to learn ⁽⁶⁾.
The Latin-American countries are experiencing constant economic growth and because of that, are becoming more important as trading partners. A number of large Latin-American countries are on the verge of signing the NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement), set up by the United States, Canada and Mexico.

  Given the facts above, you stand a better chance in the labor market if you speak Spanish. There are, of course, many other reasons to learn Spanish.
Spanish culture has made a large contribution to architecture, the arts and to world literature. What could be better than to be able to read Lorca, Vargas Llosa, Cervantes or García Marquez in their own, rich language? Wouldn't Picasso, Miró, Dalí, Goya and Velásquez be much more interesting if you were familiar with their culture?
And don't forget that Spain is a very popular holiday destination. One more reason: Spain rose from a world ranking of 11 to 3 in only one decade, as one of the best countries in which to live⁽⁷⁾.

Why Spanish in Spain?

The answer is straightforward: Because it's easier, it's faster, it produces better results and - just as important - it's much more stimulating and enjoyable.

Easier
Studying a language at home, whether at an institute or on a correspondence course, demands a lot of energy and discipline. You have a million other things to do and each time, before you go to your class or start your homework, you have to 'get into it again'. The only aim during your Spanish course in Spain with Spanish Schools is: to learn Spanish. It will come naturally.

Faster
During the course you will be living in Spain. You will be immersed in the culture and you will hear, read and speak nothing but Spanish all day.
In this way you will pick up an amazing amount quickly, both inside and outside the classroom.

Better Results
A language is more than just grammar and a collection of words. It is the means of communication between peoples, which is why you can never really learn a language from a book.
For that reason, Spanish Schools puts the accent on communication, talking and learning by experience. You will notice that, both during and outside the lessons. You will participate in Spanish life with the teachers and your fellow students; the best way to strengthen your speaking skills quickly and, at the same time, understand the emotions attached to certain words.
Essential knowledge you can only obtain in Spain.

More stimulating and enjoyable
When you learn Spanish in Spain, studying is neither dreary nor boring. You will be introduced to the rich Spanish culture, the fiestas, the innumerable 'tapas' bars and cafés, the promenading and the street life.
On weekends you can travel to the countryside of the beach, you will visit the most beautiful cities, learn how to dance the Sevillana's or the Flamenco and make friends for life with people from all over the world.
