The Spanish language is one of the six official
languages of the United Nations and is used as an
official language by the European Union.  Learning
Spanish provides better academic, career and business
opportunities with Spanish-speaking countries that
include Mexico, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia,
Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador,
Guatemala, Honduras, and the United States. According
to the Cervantes Institute, Spanish is already considered
the second language of international communication, the
most spoken language in the western hemisphere, the
second most spoken language around the world, and
the third most heavily used language by internet surfers.
 
Speaking and understanding Spanish gives you access
to culture and people, leading to build better relationships
and facilitating a better understanding of others. Speaking
Spanish gives you the opportunity to study undergraduate
and graduate programs in respected universities in
Latin America and Spain.
