Why Spanish?
Spanish is the most popular second language learned by native speakers of English. The study of Spanish as a foreign language has grown significantly, in part because of the growing populations and economies of many Spanish-speaking countries, and the growing international tourism in these countries.
Spanish is the most widely understood language in the Western Hemisphere, with significant populations of native Spanish speakers ranging from the tip of Patagonia to as far north as Canada as well as a major European Country, Spain.
It has superseded French as the second-most-studied language and the second language in international communication, after English.
We teach Spanish because we asked our parents which language they would prefer their children to learn and Spanish was the most popular.
