Why study Spanish?
Spanish is the first language of more than 400 million people and the second language of millions more in Europe, the United States, Brazil, Asia and North Africa. Due to demographic and political factors, Spanish is now a de facto second language in the United States, Brazil, and virtually all the smaller states in the Caribbean and Central/South America. Spanish is an official language in international bodies such as the United Nations and World Bank. With Australia's increased exposure to the world economy and competitive labour market, being fluent in a world language like Spanish will give you highly employable communication skills. The ability to speak Spanish will also enhance your travel experience throughout the vast Spanish speaking world. There is also a long and strong tradition and diversity in the areas of Spanish and Latin American literature and culture, which our courses will explore.
