Learning Spanish Abroad

Wi-fi spots for Spanish learners abroad

Another of the most common questions asked by students who are going to be learning Spanish abroad is whether they should take their laptop with them. Until now we’ve always advised them to leave it at home - most students on a Spanish course abroad stay with a family, and most families in Spain and Latin America don’t have broadband connections. In this case you’re better off using the computers that are usually available in your Spanish school or, outside school hours, going to an Internet café.

Now, however, wi-fi hotspots are becoming much more common so it may be time to revise our advice - perhaps you should take your laptop with you on your Spanish course abroad after all! Before you leave home you can check to see where you’ll be able to find a wi-fi hotspot in your Spanish study destination by going to the following page:

It’s not a complete list by any means, but at least you can get some idea.
