A BRIEF PRESENTATION OF MYSELF:


«Since I started my English Studies Degree (September 2012), I have always paid attention to those students who have more difficulties while learning a foreign language. I have also represented my class group, as a delegate, during several academic years at University of Valladolid (Spain).

As a result, I consider that my work experience is very useful, and also crucial to adapt my teaching methodology or resources to each person, depending on the level of knowledge that is required on each context. Finally, I believe that I am a good mediator when it comes to make the students work the different cognitive processes. In other  words, I have enough talent to make students interact the others by using quite  enjoyable tasks and exercises, which are based in the use of Hip-Hop music as an interdisciplinary approach -a really funny and effective way of learning any language for children and teenagers-«

JUST 10  REASONS TO LEARN SPANISH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE:

Nowadays, we live in a world that is very competent in all senses. In fact, communication processes are very important in any kind of work or businesses that exist in our society. As a result, learning a foreign language increases the opportunities you will face in the future. It is not only a way of establishing contact with other cultures and traditions, but also a very powerful tool to defend yourself at any context.

If you have intentions to acquire new skills speaking Spanish, do not be afraid to start from the beginning. You will be able to understand this tongue if you establish a constant and progressive approach of yourself. It is true that the origins of Spanish culture deal with the dialects which derive from Latin, but it is not difficult to comprehend by using basic and common expressions and interactions. Spanish is one of the most popular languages among language learners. It is a language that sounds very good, is widely used, and has many other advantages, which makes this language one of the most prominent options available. Here are ten reasons to start learning Spanish today.


1. It is one of the most spoken languages
According to most estimates, Spanish is the mother tongue of more than 400 million people worldwide, equivalent to approximately six percent of the world population. As a result, it is officially recognized as the second most spoken language in the world, in terms of native speakers, ahead of English.

2. It is a language with a bright future
In terms of popularity, Spanish shows no signs of decline. Quite the contrary: the total number of speakers that has been constantly increasing in the last decade. A recent report released by the British Council ranks Spanish as the second most important language for British citizens to learn, outpacing French, Arabic and Mandarin.

3. It will improve your job opportunities
In today’s global marketplace, mastering a second language can be a valuable asset to both employers and employees. Modern businesses always want to have staff members who can help them with international trade and the Spanish language has a special value in the current situation.

4. Your travel experience will be much better
Traveling is one of the most enriching experiences that can be lived. In addition, the quality of the experience will significantly improve thanks to the possibility of speaking Spanish.

5. You could work or study abroad
Although taking a trip is very exciting in itself, learning Spanish will give you the opportunity to work in a Spanish-speaking country and study at academic institutions in those countries. Getting out of your comfort zone and spending long periods in a foreign country can help you develop professionally and personally.

6. You will have more options to entertain yourself
Many of the most important films of the last 30 years have been produced in Spanish and, although available with English subtitles, watch these films in the original language it is the best way to enjoy them.

7. People who speak two languages often experience various health benefits
Numerous studies, including one from the University of Ghent (Belgium), have shown that acquiring a second language can help delay the onset of diseases such as Alzheimer’s and can postpone symptoms of dementia.

8. Spanish is relatively easy to learn
Compared to many other languages, Spanish is fairly easy for an English speaker to learn, as long as they are willing to make an effort, since there is no need to learn a new alphabet and there is less emphasis on tone than in many of the Asian languages.

9. You will be able to better understand your first language
Believe it or not, numerous studies have shown that learning a second language can improve a student’s understanding of their native language. If you think about it carefully, it makes a lot of sense, since to learn a second language you need to pay close attention to linguistics or «the rules».

10. You will have a lot of fun learning Spanish
Finally, perhaps the best reason to learn Spanish is that it is a funny and rewarding process. Learning a language will give you an unparalleled sense of self-fulfillment and is also a skill that can benefit you for the rest of your life.
