Course Summary
Spanish offers you a world of possibilities, as the official language of 21 countries and with over 500 million speakers. Therefore, if you are interested in travelling, it is a very useful language to have at your disposal. By studying Spanish, you will develop a depth and breadth of understanding of Spanish and Latin American culture as well as the language. You will develop other skills such as the ability to analyse literature and film, evaluate trends and infer meaning. These are skills that will be easily transferable at university. As a Spanish speaker you will possess skills sought by a range of employers in business, tourism, education and government agencies to name but a few. Spanish works well with a variety of subjects, as you can see from the topics listed below.
