Great reasons to learn Spanish today
1. If you’re dreaming of escaping the daily grind and travelling or working in Latin America or Spain, then you'll need to speak Spanish.
Speaking Spanish will allow you to feel part of the country and the culture in a way you never would be able to otherwise (not to mention order a meal and find the bathroom!).
2. Meet new and interesting like-minded people.
Not only will you meet hundreds of fascinating new people on your travels, but classes themselves are full of interesting new people with similar interests to your own.
3. Spanish is one of the easiest second languages to learn, which means you'll be speaking in no time.
Spanish and English share quite a number of words, for example education and educación, so you probably already know more Spanish than you realise!
4. It’s been proven that learning a second language exercises your brain in the same way going to the gym exercises your body.
People who speak a second language consistently score higher on reasoning and creative tasks, and their overall mental abilities are better than those who don’t speak another language.
5. In this highly competitive world, any extra skills that you can bring to your job will be appreciated by employers.
Speaking another language will impress anybody, but it will look especially good on your resume. Not only that, but you'll be able to apply for all those amazing jobs that require you to speak another language like Spanish.
Or, if you're really adventurous, why not think about working overseas? Native English speakers, especially those who can speak Spanish as well, are highly sought after in Latin America and Spain as employees.
