Some things to consider when deciding or choosing a language to study
might include future career or educational goals. Most colleges
require two years of foreign language study, but in today's global economy
speaking more than one language is quickly becoming a valuable asset.
Why Learn Spanish?
- Spanish is the second most widely-spoken language worldwide.
Nearly 500 million people throughout the world speak Spanish.
- Spanish is the official language in 21 countries including Mexico,
Spain, and many countries in Central and South America.
- Over 100 million people speak Spanish as their second language.
- Spanish is one of the official languages of the UN and the European Community institutions.
- Spanish is the most popular second language in Europe and the United States.
- Spanish can open many doors for your future.
While there are many different "Spanish" dialects, a good language program will
start with "standard" or basic Spanish for the youngest of language
learners. More advanced students will benefit from discussion of different
regional accents, dialects and word usage (colloquialisms).
