Spanish is a thriving language that covers a multitude of exciting and diverse places across the globe, each with its own story to tell. As the official language of over twenty countries and the second most spoken language on the planet in terms of native speakers, it is no surprise that more students in the UK than ever before are choosing to study Spanish at A Level. At a time when learning a language can make you stand out amongst even the best candidates, achieving proficiency in Spanish will provide you with a transferable and lucrative skill set that is highly sought after by universities and employers alike.
