  • Learn Spanish is easy. Spanish and English share much of their vocabulary through cognates, as both languages derive many of their words from Latin and Arabic.
  • Learn Spanish to improve your employment potential. Being bilingual makes you a more competitive force in society for jobs, travel, speaking to clients abroad. Many jobs today require a minimum of basic proficiency in another language and learning Spanish will make you more marketable when searching for a new job.
  • Learn Spanish to improve your knowledge of your own language. You will have a better understanding of English since much of the vocabulary of English has Latin origins.

You will have the opportunity to watch all of your cable or satellite channels and understand what is being said. You will also have the opportunity to enjoy a wider variety of music.
  • Learn Spanish to enhance your travel experiences. Knowing the language and culture of the land you visit will give you insights into the people and culture that a non-Spanish speaker would never have access to.
  • Learn Spanish is a gateway to learning other languages. Spanish is part of the Indo-European family of languages, which are spoken by more than a third of the world’s population. If you learn Spanish, you’ll have a head start in learning the other Latin-based languages such as French and Italian.
  • Learn Spanish to increase your circle of friends. The more languages you know and are able to speak fluently, the more people you will be able to talk to.
