Spain is Europe's fourth largest country after Russia, Ukraine and France. It consists of the Spanish mainland, which occupies most of the Iberian peninsula apart from Portugal, the Balearic islands of Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera in the Mediterranean and the Canary Islands of Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, La Palma, Gomera, Fuerteventura and Hierro in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Morocco.

Castilian Spanish (Castellano) is the national language though visitors who have learned their Spanish abroad find regional accents difficult to cope with, especially in rural Andalucia. Other important language groups include Gallego in Galicia, Basque in the Basque Country and different forms of Catalan in Catalunya, Valencia and the Balearic Islands.

Learn Spanish

How many times have you thought that you'd like to learn Spanish but you're no good at languages or that you don't have time to learn? With recent developments in the educational software market and the willingness of people to travel to study languages it has never been easier to learn Spanish.

Various methods are available to help learn Spanish which could be combined to suit time and ability. Study from home with various Spanish courses many of whom are available from the internet.

Another option is to sign up for an on line course or distance learning which requires all the dedication of a classroom based course. There are four levels available with each level taking around 40 hours of study. Learning is done through your computer with weekly contact with an online teacher.

If you have the time and inclination to travel then there is nothing to beat actually learning the language in Spain. There are courses available all year round of varying lengths and for students of all ages and abilities. This is a great way to not only learn Spanish but also to get to know Spain. Many schools are located in beautiful locations such as Granada or Salamanca whilst others are in the big cities of Madrid and Barcelona or on the holiday islands of Mallorca or Tenerife.

A final way to learn Spanish which is of particular interest to students is to take Spanish classes in Spain whilst getting work experience in Spanish hotels. The actual Spanish courses last for a minimum of a month whilst the work experience can range from two months to as much as a full year. Vacancies are available all over Spain with full board accommodation. You could also learn in USA or Mexico.
