7 BENEFITS TO LEARNING SPANISH
#1
FUN & EASY TO LEARN
Spanish is voted #1 for the "easiest language to learn" by the top language schools around the world. The exponential growth of the Hispanic / Latino population in the US has demonstrated the necessity for bilingualism in Spanish / English. We share a similar "Latin structure", which explains the presence of "cognados" (cognates). It has a major presence in America's history, culture, society, and even the English language.
#2
RECEIVE A HIGH SCHOOL CREDIT
Many colleges/universities in the US require 2 language credits on high school transcripts to meet "college admission" criteria. Students who successfully complete the Spanish I course in middle school will earn 1 high school credit. How exciting! Students who proceed to study Spanish II in high school will earn a second language credit upon successful completion.

#3
CONNECT WITH NATIVE SPANISH-SPEAKERS
Foremost, you'll be able to communicate with over 400 million Spanish speakers around the world along with the opportunity to build life-long relationships and valuable friendships with fellow Spanish speakers. You gain confidence in your abilities as you easily recognize vocabulary in media (e.g., movies, music, magazines), and when spoken by others.
#4
EXPERIENCE THE BEAUTY OF THE SPANISH CULTURE
When visiting a Spanish-speaking country you won't feel entirely like a "stranger" because of your Spanish language skills and cultural knowledge! Nowadays, the typical "greeting with a kiss" (ladies w/ladies & men) and "special handshakes with a hug" (amongst men only) has transitioned to specialized fist bumps and handshakes for everyone.
#5
COMFORTABLE TRAVEL ABROAD
Being able to develop at least a basic level of communication in Spanish will inspire you to fearlessly venture out to see beautiful Spanish-speaking countries all around the world. More importantly, you'll get a taste of the complex, yet exquisite flavor. You see that the adjectives that often describe "tasteful Spanish cuisine, is also distinctive to their culture.
​#6
FEED YOUR BRAIN
​
The central location where language learning takes place in the brain is quite flexible, it can potentially make learning a 2nd language (or more) quite beneficial. Language learners are more likely to develop new areas in their minds, strengthen the brain's natural ability to focus, process information with ease, and entertain new exciting possibilities.
#7
ADVANCE YOUR CAREER
Current data confirms that the major increase in the growth of native Spanish-speakers in the United States has magnificently increased the demand and need for bilingual Spanish-English speakers in almost every profession in 2021. Oftentimes, bilingual Spanish/English individuals are offered higher pay, receive more incentives, and collect bonuses for recruitments.
Continuing Spanish studies in the future will help Spanish learners to develop and improve SWRL skills (i.e., speaking, writing, reading, listening), increase proficiency, and even master Spanish fluency.
