If you speak Spanish, you can communicate with more than 500 million people in the world! Spanish is the second most used language in international communication and is the mother tongue of 21 countries. The Latin American and Spanish culture have a large contribution to art, music and world literature. The student that visits a Spanish-spoken country for internship, work, or as a tourist after following the courses, has acquired sufficient skills to deal with everyday situations. The aim of the courses is to acquire the skills of understanding, speaking, reading and writing in Spanish.
