Why do we learn Modern Foreign Languages?
Studying Spanish gives you an important life-skill and an enriching academic experience, alongside bringing you new horizons in travel, culture, and employment. It develops transferable skills through improving communication, public speaking, and intercultural understanding.
Career-wise, languages are critical for translating and interpreting, but are also an enormous asset to careers as diverse as finance, law, journalism, and medicine.
