Spanish is such a widely-spoken language and having an understanding has to enhance one’s future in many ways:
Travel
As the second most spread language in the world, a speaker of Spanish can travel to many places and enjoy the culture through a common language. Other than Brazil, all of the countries of South America speak Spanish, as do many islands throughout the world and, of course, Spain itself. So much more can be learnt and taken in, when those ‘need to know’ questions can be given, and their answers received, in a foreign language you can speak to some degree of competency. Understanding a country makes considering it as a place of work, or a place to live, a more educated decision.
Moving to Another Country
Settling in to that country means you will need to buy essentials, set up utility bills, as well as use Spanish-speaking health and emergency services and these somewhat simple tasks can become extremely complicated without knowledge of the lingo.
Work
Having a second language opens up so many opportunities. If you want to leave your native country behind, you will stand a better chance in the country of your choice, if you can speak the language.
Finding a job will be easier for professionals who can also speak the language. While it may not be as easy for unskilled people to find jobs in Spain or other Spanish-speaking countries, knowing the language will still enhance one’s chances. Whereas the professional may need a very advanced and tailored level of understanding, the unskilled worker may be able to begin work with less vocabulary, which will build up during time.
Interpreting and translation pay good hourly rates and, whether you are in your own native country, or in the country of your second language, these jobs will be there for the picking. This is also the kind of work where you can work for an organisation and can also set yourself up as self-employed. Or do both.
Finding a Course to Make that Happen. We all have to start somewhere and finding the right level for you can be a nightmare, if you don’t know where to look. Do you already have some understanding, have you reached an intermediate level, or have you got no vocabulary at all?
If you want to learn the language to enhance travel, you’ll want to know about everyday things, like food, accommodation, public transport, understanding directions and accessing emergency services. A general course will meet these needs and using an organisation like UniSpain will help you find a whole package, including not only the learning but also the accommodation, as well as experiencing the culture via planned activities.
If you want to move to another country, a general course will be a good starting point but you will also need to know about banking terms, finding your own accommodation and accessing utilities. Like for those wanting to travel, UniSpain
will be able to find the perfect course, as well as accommodation during course time.
If you’re a professional, you might be looking for a course that is tailored to suit your vocabulary needs, or you may be looking for a course in a particular part of Spain which caters for your professional needs. UniSpain has knowledge and experience of many of the major cities in Spain and will be best placed for finding-cum-creating the perfect course for the specialism of professionals.
If you’re unskilled, you may simply want to get on the first rung of the ladder, so that you can arrive in the country of your choice and build on that first rung by being there. Again, a general course will provide the essentials on which to build.
Getting the right course for you, in the right place, and at the right price, will be so much easier, if you can already speak the language and so that’s why it makes sense to turn to the professionals who do speak Spanish, so as to guarantee you do get exactly what need for your future plans.
