5 reasons to learn Spanish

19th October 2020 By Dr Elizabeth Adey Leave a Comment

How do you spend your free time? Would you like to get benefit from it? If I tell you that doing one thing will let you enjoy your time and make you be able to communicate with more than 500 million people in the world. I heard you are asking “How?”. The answer is simple, the answer is learning Spanish!

There are tons of reasons to learn how to speak Spanish. Let me help you to find the inspiration by listing the top 5 reasons.

1. Easy to learn

Spanish is considered one of the easiest languages ​​for a native English speaker to learn. Because you do not have to learn a new alphabet, intonations are less important than languages ​​such as Chinese and Japanese.

English and Spanish have many similar words, Spanish is a phonetic language written as it is read, which makes the issue of pronunciation easier.

2. Get to know more people

Spanish is the second most spoken language in the world and is an official language in 22 countries. Except for native Spanish speakers, more than 150 million people speak Spanish, good or bad. That means you will be able to speak with them and you will have a chance to make friends from a different culture. Imagine, completely another culture, many things to share, a door which is always open for you… When you visit Spanish-speaking countries, you will order your coffee in their native language and get to know the culture deeper. Not from a translated page, from the first mouth.

3. Open another window on the internet

When you search for something on the internet, you’re seeing pages only in your language but when you search the same thing in a different language, you will receive another million pieces of information. Including movies, songs, series… These are also great ways to practise Spanish and see their lifestyle. But if you can’t decide about which Spanish series you are going to start with, this list definitely will be your guide.

4. More career opportunities

Speaking a second language in the business world is a huge advantage to improve and expand your career prospects. Spanish-speaking countries are on the radar of large companies due to their crowded population. So, whatever your field is, if you speak Spanish, you can be a channel between companies and customers or just create your own global business.

5. Healthy for your brain

Bilingual people experience several health benefits. It strengthens the memory, increases attention, doubles the activation, improves creativity, and makes an easier time focusing on tasks. Bilingualism delays the risk of having Alzheimer’s disease by about 5 years.
