It is the official language for more than 400 million people and is spoken in Spain, Central and South America, Mexico, the United States, the Philippines, and some parts of Africa.
Within the Pacific Rim context, Spanish is expected to become a major language of communication in the coming years.
Spanish-speaking countries account for an increasing proportion of world trade and are becoming important target markets for New Zealand exporters.
The New Zealand government has also indicated a strong interest in developing cultural links with South America.
Why study Spanish?
Language specialists are constantly in demand in the modern world of global travel and communication.
As New Zealand continues to strengthen its international relationships, there will be a need for Spanish-speaking graduates to represent New Zealand’s interests in the Spanish-speaking world.
