¡ Hola !
If you don’t speak Spanish today, you may be left behind…Spanish is rapidly gaining popularity in North America and all over the world; nearly 500 million people speak it. There are 21 Spanish speaking countries and the United States is currently the fifth largest one. Spanish looks great on your CV, just imagine the job opportunities! We feel the impact of the Hispanic culture everywhere: Frida Kahlo, Picasso, Gabriel García Marquez, Shakira, Juanes, Pedro Almodóvar, la salsa, el tango, el flamenco, to name just a few. Our diets today include Hispanic foods such as tacos, quesadillas, guacamole, and paella. Wouldn’t you like to discover more? Learning Spanish will also enable you to travel, keep pace with popular culture, expand your universe, and participate in Student Exchange Programs.
