- Create more business opportunities - Spanish is the second most common language in
which business is conducted worldwide.
- It's easy to learn - Spanish is the easiest second language to learn for English speakers due
to its Latin and Germanic origin and the fact that Spanish is widely available. In order to really
learn Spanish, you must have the ability to see it, hear it and practice it outside of the
classroom.
- For your health - Learning and regularly using a second language has been proven to slow
the onset of Alzheimer's and other degenerative mental diseases. (http://www.nytimes.

Many employers are looking for bilingual Spanish / English speakers.

USD$7,000 more than those who speak only English. (http://news.ufl.edu/2000/01/31/lingual/)

Hispanic culture and its contributions to the world.

personalized programs, a virtual program that you can take from anywhere and a total

- Cheaper and more interesting travel - Traveling to a Spanish speaking country becomes
much cheaper and much more interesting if you know the language and can speak to the
locals. They will tell you about the best local places to visit, the best restaurants to eat at, and
the best and cheapest places to stay.
- Travel to Spanish-speaking countries for free - Knowing the Spanish language increases
your opportunities to travel and see the world...for free. A personal student of ours travels to
Spanish speaking countries to give talks for organizations that pay 100% of his travel
expenses.
- Help more people - Spanish allows you the opportunity to help more people that really need
it. You could help interpret for a monolingual Spanish speaker in your community or help one
of many charitable organizations that need bilingual speakers to help in foreign countries.
