8 Reasons to Learn Spanish: It’s The Best Language to Learn

Mis amigos, we all know Spanish is a wonderful language, otherwise you wouldn’t watch our Spring Spanish videos!

But I wanted to understand: What makes this language so popular among language learners? What makes speaking Spanish so useful?

So I did some research and came across some pretty interesting fun facts and reasons to learn Spanish. It is the best language to learn for you right now!  

And of course, I documented it all and made a selection of the 8 best things I discovered. 

Let’s take a look.

1. Spanish speaker population

I decided to start my investigation close to home… In the hundreds of lessons my colleagues and I have created for our very own Spring Spanish channel and I came across this little insight from our friend Juan:

Mis amigos, as you heard Juan saying, more than 500 million people speak Spanish, that makes it a good investment of your time, right? 

If I were you, I would choose a language to learn that I can actually practice in many travel destinations. Like Spanish that is spoken in 21 countries, so reason number 2…

2. Learn Spanish for travelling

Using Spanish while traveling will take you to the hidden spots where tourists are not allowed.

For example, when I taught you how to use Las 3 B’s with a taxi driver.

To be honest with you, you should lose the fear of speaking to locals because you have no idea of the amazing places you might find if you just ask in Spanish.

3. Job opportunities in Spanish

Exactamente mis amigos, Spanish is considered a great skill if you want to work for a multicultural company and even for a non-multicultural company that might be selling to Mexicans or other Spanish-speaking countries. Speaking another language will even give you the opportunity to expand your network and travel to different countries to close deals or as a business developer.

As I taught you lately on my “How to do business in Spanish” video.

No solo eso, si eres emprendedor (But not only that, if you are an entrepreneur) that means that with your language skills you can import or export your goods and services to other countries more easily and effectively. 

4. You can work or study abroad

For example, I have worked as a teacher of Spanish in England and now, thanks to that, I am also a Spanish teacher here at Spring Spanish. But how about you? 

Remember you already speak your mother tongue, that means that once you improve your Spanish, many doors will open to work or study abroad.

Best part of this, you have 21 countries to choose from where to study or work!

5. One of the best reasons to learn Spanish: Dating

¿Crees en el amor a primera vista? (Do you believe in love at first sight?) Well, mis amigos, imagine you just met someone, let’s say a Latino, and they don’t know your language very well. 

But don’t worry, because you have been a Spring Spanish student and with our several videos about dating in Spanish, now you know what to say, right?

If we go back to the other videos, some of the Latinas said…

But not only women, but men expect women to understand los piropos (the compliments) that you mi reina (my queen) are about to hear. Therefore, a language will expand your opportunities of getting to know el amor de tu vida (the love of your life). 

 Now, if you’re already taken, then reason número 6…

6. Build lifelong friendships

If you are amigos with a Latino or Spanish speaker, get ready for some baile, fiesta, música, diversión y mucha comida (dance, party, music, fun and lots of food). Mi casa es tu casa (my home is your home), and yeah, we take that saying seriously. 

We welcome our friends like family, and I think that is a great gesture to have friends from other countries that are worried about learning my language. You can get to gossip, hang out and talk about your day like a native. 

Reason número 7 (number 7)…

7. It’s good for your brain

Aprender un nuevo idioma, no solamente español, pero cualquiera realmente, es bueno para mantener tu cerebro activo. (Learning a new language, not only Spanish but any language to be honest, is good to keep your brain active.)

You will be using memorization and other skills that will help you to keep you active. If you’re the kind of person that requires a challenge then feel free to check out the video I did for you giving you what to do for 30 days to learn Spanish.

8. Understand Spanish music, films & podcasts

Last but not least, entender la música, las películas y los podcasts (understand music, films and podcasts). In the past months I have taught you in many videos how to learn Spanish through these amazing tools

And I think that there is so much more to learn and practice from them. Imagine in just a few months being able to watch a film without subtitles. How marvelous! And this is what we want you to achieve.

Hay tantas recomendaciones (there are so many suggestions) we have given you until now you should be motivated to start your Spanish learning journey if you haven’t yet or be more motivated if you have!
