Choosing to learn a new language is not just an attractive endeavor for those who wish to broaden their professional and personal opportunities. Especially when that language is Spanish. As the second most widely spoken language in the world, Spanish has more than 400 million speakers and is the native tongue in 20 different countries. There are more than 40 million Spanish speakers in the U.S., and it is the second most widely spoken language in the United States, making knowing how to understand and speak Spanish a huge asset.
For beginners, Spanish tends to come naturally, especially for those who speak English, Italian or French. Each of these languages have either direct roots in Latin or a significant number of words that stem from Latin, and they share thousands of words that are very similar to one another. These are called cognates. This is why an English word such as “family” sounds remarkably similar in French (famille), Italian (famiglia), and Spanish (familia). Spanish vocabulary also has an extremely straightforward system of pronunciation and very few irregularities in either spelling or pronunciation.
Gone are the days where beginners sign up for Spanish instruction involving a physical classroom. At Rosetta Stone, we use a blend of technology-based learning and native-speaking tutors to simulate real-world immersion wherever you are—allowing you to learn Spanish effectively on your own time and schedule. And at a fraction of the cost of individual classroom instruction.
