Learning Spanish Abroad

Spanish-language speakers set to grow

When asked why they are enroling for a Spanish language course abroad, many of our American students reply that they need Spanish to work with their Hispanic clients, patients, students, etc.

It was generally believed that this type of need would, in fact, decrease over the coming years, as Spanish speakers adapted and integrated and the children born in the USA would learn English. However, a recent study has concluded that the number of Spanish-dominant and bilingual Latinos will increase by 45 percent over the next two decades - adding 12.4 million Spanish-speakers to today’s population. This is because, unlike other immigrant groups, even third-generation Hispanics - those born to Latino parents who themselves were born in the United States - will continue to speak Spanish in extraordinarily large numbers.
