In a global context where solidarity and communication between equals is essential, learning Spanish might help us get closer to each other and live our differences and similarities with greater understanding. The spread of the Spanish language all over the American continent, has turned it into a richer and more versatile language. Spanish is a prime material for the creation of beautiful literature, music, poetry, and movies, some of which you will encounter during the course.
