Is a Foreign Language on Your Horizon? (Part I)

I have to admit that I had absolutely no intention of learning Spanish until about a month before I did so. If you had asked me about the subject before then I would have told you that I had no reason to learn a foreign tongue. So what if you are in the same boat? How will you know that you are soon going to be looking at a list of the Chinese courses London offers or carefully considering the use of the preterite in Spanish?

You See How It Could Help You

I had decided to give up my job in the UK and head off to Latin America. Did I take this life changing decision easily? Well, I guess it took me all of 5 seconds from thinking about it for the first time to knowing that I was going to do it. There are some things in life which you just know that you need to do once you consider them. It was only after booking everything and handing in my notice at work that I realised that I didn’t know a word of Spanish. Unless some mis-heard lyrics from La Macarena count that is. I decided to check out the Spanish courses Liverpool or Edinburgh could offer me, as I was spending my time between the two cities during my last few weeks of work. It is at moments like this that you realise how valuable a second language could be to you.
