Spanish

Course summary

Spanish is a fantastic language to learn: rich and subtle, it offers true academic challenge as well as global relevance as the second most-spoken language in the world. Delving into Hispanic culture offers a window onto a whole new world of film, music, art, history, politics, food and fiestas. Right from Year 8, when they begin learning Spanish, students boost their love of Spanish through the freedom with which they explore this world – whether that’s Year 9 students researching an annual tomato-throwing festival or Year 13 students evaluating whose dictatorship had the greatest impact, Franco’s or Pinochet’s.
