Does Learning Spanish Help You in the UK? (part II)

This perhaps is the key point to consider when you are thinking of learning a second language; people will see you as being a resourceful person who can learn new skills.
After a spell in sunny Stevenage I came to the conclusion that life in the UK just wasn’t for me anymore. I missed the colourful street markets, the mysterious bus journeys, the unrecognisable food and most of all the Spanish language.
It seems that the morale of the story - yes, there is one for a change – is that if you learn Spanish the best thing you can do is start to use it. If you don’t you will forget what you have learned anyway. In fact, even now I lose a fair bit of fluency if I got more than a couple of days of only speaking English.
As I returned on a flight from Heathrow to South America my future was uncertain as I knew that I couldn’t get a job here as easily as I did in the UK. But I just knew that I was doing the right thing.
