GCSE Spanish
Spanish is one of the most commonly spoken languages in the world and, with
it becoming more usual for people to travel to Latin America for business or
pleasure, this vibrant language of salsa, flamenco and tango will always be a
useful skill to master.
Spanish music is entering our charts, Spanish film directors are influencing
our media, and Spanish businesses are on our high streets. Developing
communication skills, you will learn a little about the music, the literature, the
geography and generally just what it is that makes our European neighbours
tick. Another benefit of foreign language learning is that it helps you gain a
better awareness of your own language. It is a wonderful opportunity; don’t
throw it away!
