With the continued growth of the Spanish language, especially in North America, more and more people are realizing that it is a wise career move to be able to speak at least some Spanish. The problem is that it can be hard for a busy professional to find the time to take classes which often occur at inconvenient times. Plus of course one has to factor in the travel time to get to and from the class.
Another option for those wishing to learn Spanish is to use one of the many apps that are available to learn and practice Spanish whenever you have a spare moment. The disadvantage of this though is that learning can be quite haphazard and sporadic. It is also harder to persever on ones’ own.
A third option is to visit a country where Spanish is spoken and take Spanish classes during vacation time. Such “language vacations” are becoming more popular as professionals seek to maximize their holiday time by taking language classes in the country of their choice. With over twenty countries where Spanish is the main language there are plenty of destinations to choose from.
