Take Spanish lessons in Edmonton with a private tutor

Learn Spanish with Edmonton's most excellent private tutors and teachers

There is something about the Spanish language that makes it fiercely exotic and endearing at the same time. The way this language is spoken gives off a certain character and finesse which can be traced to it having softer consonants and longer vowels. This attribute is responsible for creating the mellow cadence of words that makes Spanish pleasing to the ears. As such, historically and literally, Spanish is considered both a Romance and a romantic language. 

It is very likely that you have been speaking Spanish longer than you might have known. Owing to its deep history of conquistadors and in-search-of-spice expeditions around the world, some Spanish words have actually been borrowed and adopted by the English language, marking its huge influence on the cultural landscape of a lot of countries. You can look up a thousand English words and find that most of those are borrowed from the Spanish vocabulary, and are now shared by both languages. Moreover, this also makes Spanish one of the most widely spoken languages, with over 400 million speakers all over the globe. If you ever had wild hopes about speaking the language, then by all means, do it and you will find yourself conversing with a good fraction of the earth. 

Shying away from learning this irresistible language may have been an ancient idea, but now is the time to have a change of heart because of one thing: it is not that difficult to learn Spanish. And with the right tutor, you will be learning faster than you can say hasta la vista.

Don't siesta on why you should learn Spanish

Being able to speak Spanish may do you a lot of good in a lot of ways, and if you are not yet fully aware of which ways the Spanish language can be of great advantage to you, you are quite in for a treat. 

A chance to easily become a bilingual speaker. The Spanish language is a highly phonetic one. This means that if you can spell a word, you are likely to know how to pronounce or say it. Very few are the cases when the spelling doesn't match the pronunciation when it comes to the Spanish language. Because of the level of ease that learning the Spanish language entails, you can learn it in no time, picking up a second language with little effort.

A chance to communicate with almost 500 million people. In most statistical projections, roughly about 6% of the world's population uses Spanish as their native language. In translation, this would mean that Spanish is the second most commonly used language, with Chinese leading and English only coming in at third. With that estimate, one would be crazy not to try and learn this language. Also, according to the current landscape of the language, there has been a steady increase in the numbers of Spanish speakers, making now a good time to learn some Spanish if you haven’t yet.

Educational possibilities abroad. Being fluent in Spanish increases your chances of studying in academic institutions located in Spanish-speaking countries where you can further improve your speaking skills as well as get attuned to the cultures overseas. An education abroad will also look good on your resume. 

More employment opportunities. Being a bilingual speaker of any two languages is a good employment advantage. In light of learning Spanish, you can enjoy top marketing positions in companies that highly engage in international trade and commerce if you are a fluent Spanish speaker. Current market studies show that the spending habits and capabilities of Spanish speakers make this sector a good market niche to venture into. 

An upgrade to your travel encounters. Speaking Spanish greatly allows you to enjoy your traveling experience without the restrictions of communication and location. You don’t have to stick to the usual tourist spots or get into a mishap with a local just because you have trouble saying what you want. Being able to speak Spanish when traveling a largely Spanish-speaking country like Costa Rica or Mexico is the essence of traveling. You can go anywhere you desire or eat wherever you like because language is not a barrier. 

A better cultural and entertainment experience. With learning to speak and understand Spanish is the chance to say goodbye forever to subtitles, dubs, and translations of your favorite television series like Money Heist, for example, which is a critically acclaimed show that swept nations across the globe. There is also a vast body of literary work written in Spanish that doesn't have to suffer the translations that oftentimes do not embody the exact ideations and feelings that the author wants to convey. Because Spanish is a romantic language, a lot of the author's thoughts can get lost in translation, which is why learning Spanish would prove to be of convenience if you are studying the great works of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Jorge Luis Borges, Carlos Ruiz Zafon, and Pablo Neruda. Once you gain mastery of the Spanish language, you are opening yourself up to a different world of cultural immersion.
