🇪🇸 Spanish

Spanish, or Castilian as it is also called, is a language spoken by over 330 million people worldwide. From diverse lands of Equatorial Guinea, Central and South America, Brazil excluded, to large parts of the United States of America, to the Caribbean, the popularity of Spanish increases daily. More and more British people are deciding to move permanently to Spain. As many as 90000 Brits have acquired second homes there. With its beautiful weather, enchanting scenery, fascinating history and mouth-watering dishes, Spain and other Spanish-speaking countries remain high on the list of top destinations for many Europeans and World travellers alike. Learning to speak Spanish will open the door for you to enter a world rich in culture from the Arts of Goya and Picasso in painting, Becquer and Alberti in literature, to Falla and Albéniz in music and Almodóvar and Berlanga in films. The geographical position of the Iberian Peninsula enables it to reach out and embrace the cultures of northern and southern Europe and the continent of Africa. Meanwhile, the rich history and influence of the majority of South America open up yet more for the speaker of Spanish. Spanish is no longer just the language of millions of holidaymakers. In recent times, significant British companies have become Spanish-owned, from Abbey to BAA. More employers are recognising the importance of having employees who are able to converse in more than one language and operate in more than one culture. So, what are you waiting for? A whole new exciting world awaits
