Spanish instruction continues growing.

According to a recent survey from the Center for Applied Linguistics entitled “Foreign Language Teaching in U.S. Schools”, Spanish language instruction in American schools has grown well above other languages. This study does not cover college language programs. Increasingly, children learn Spanish in their schools and are fluent in this language, which puts this language in a privileged position compared to others.

This is good news for Spain and Latin America that have seen how the teaching of Spanish has risen from 79% to 88% in the last 10 years in primary school and has maintained an impressive 93% in colleges.

Other languages that also have a presence in American schools are French, German, Japanese, Russian, Chinese and Arabic.
