Learn Spanish in Spain, a country that offers everything you could possibly look for in a place to live: good weather, a vibrant social life, excellent cuisine, friendly inhabitants, rich culture and traditions, a fascinating history, and a varied landscape from the lush mountains of the north to the beautiful beaches of the Mediterranean.

Spanish has grown over the past decades to become the most popular and widely spoken language in the western world, bar English. With statistics like these it is easy to understand why one might choose to learn Spanish in Spain. Close to half a billion people speak it as their first language, with a population close to that of the United States speaking a variety of forms across South America and just short of 50 million people in Spanish speaking the peninsular strand.

While different environments, heritages and political alignments have evolved into different accents and vocabularies both within each of the Spanish-speaking countries and, most markedly, from one country to another, standard Spanish (as in the traditional sort developed in the kingdom of Castile over the course of centuries) still remains the overwhelmingly dominating material underpinning all forms of modern Spanish, to the point where the rule is common understanding between people stemming from places as distant as Argentina and Catalonia, for instance, with the occasional instances of incomprehension standing out as recurrent but utterly solvable exceptions.
