The Economic Value of Learning Spanish
Or at least that's what it states the Europapress.es on it's Cultural section. After living for a couple of months in London I have realized, how important it is for British schools to incorporate not only one MFL, but giving the students the possibility to learn two or even three languages at the same time. Even though what I have heard from some English friends, who assured me that British don't really learn languages.
And it might be truth compared with Swedish who are one of the most proficients in English as a Foreign Language, but apparently even though they are learning also Spanish for upto 3 years on average, they still have a long way to go to become as competitive as they are with the English language. And for that it might be another chance for us Spanish Traveller Teachers to look for a new adventure!
The Eurobarometer report in 2012 says that:
- Two thirds of Europeans (67%) consider English as one of the two most useful languages for themselves.
- Languages perceived as the most useful that come up right after are the following: German (17%), French (16%), Spanish (14%) and Chinese (6%)
But According to the proyect of Telefonica Foundation, Spanish Language has displaced German and French as the Foreign Language most taught in Europe.
But Apparently there are still many challenges for the language, one of them is to become more important in business and science matters, and so it is to increase it's presence in the Web, although it already is the second most used on Internet.
There are so many business possibilities to explore in all the Spanish speaking countries and therefore to learn Spanish as a Foreign Language represents a wide range of opportunities to explore, in business, cultural and for the benefit to collaborate in the social and economic development of these very promising countries with such a great potencial and wealth in all it's word.
So no matter how much Spanish do you know, You can always learn more, keep practicing it or improving it. With ABC Spanish you can learn from the very initial to advance level. Face to face Spanish Courses in London or via Skype!
