  1. Spanish is second only to English as an international language, with more than 500 million speakers across the world.
  2. Spanish is the second most widely spoken language in four continents. In addition, 20 million people decide to take up Spanish every year and its demand has doubled in the past few years.
  3. Speaking Spanish will enable you to immerse yourself in the rich cultural offering available across 20 Spanish-speaking countries.
  4. It is easy to learn and speakand opens doors to learning other Romance languages.
  5. Spanish is the second highest number of UNESCO World Heritage sites and is the third most popular destination in the world. You may want to discover the deep roots and ties between the Spanish and Arabic culture by joining the Route of the Al-Andalus Heritage, in the region of Andalusia, inviting tourists to discover Andalusia through the Muslim presence in the region between the 8th and 15th centuries.
