The Keys to Successfully Learn Spanish

1. You are having fun.
Research shows that when something is fun--you're playing, interacting, laughing--you're more likely to remember it because your brain is engaged. This is why we based our entire language-learning program around game-playing. Plus, when you know something is fun, it will keep you coming back again and again.

2. You are not overwhelmed.
We know the thought of learning a new language is overwhelming. This is why every one of our games can be completed in 10 minutes or less. Imagine your language-learning goal is a sandwich. You wouldn't cram it all in your mouth at once, would you? No. Sure, you'll finish it all, but one bite at a time.

3. You can fit it into your life.
We know you have a million things to do, and we recognize language learning is probably not the first thing on your to-do list (no matter how much we wish it was). This is why we give you a ton of different ways to learn, from computer games and audio lessons for your iPod to written activities in the workbook and interactive fun on your TV!

WHY LEARN LATIN AMERICA SPANISH?

• Mexico has more than 22 million visitors a year.
• Knowing basic Spanish words and phrases before traveling to Mexico or another Spanish-speaking country will help you feel more at ease during your trip.
• More people speak Spanish in the world than English.
• Spanish is the second most studied language after English.

VISITING MEXICO
Mexico’s sunny beaches and rugged mountains may be two of the biggest draws for the more than 22 million visitors that travel to the country every year. But many also visit Mexico to see the remnants of ancient civilizations, including the Aztec’s Pyramid of the Sun.

Like many countries, cuisine in Mexico varies widely by region and, of course, can be very different from what Mexican restaurants serve in the United States. One of the best ways to sample real Mexican food is to ask locals for recommendations.

VISITING SPAIN
Spain may be mostly known for its glittering beaches and the famous “Running of the Bulls” at Pamplona, but the country boasts activities for every interest: thriving nightlife, mountain sports, cultural festivities and more. The people of Spain are relaxed and friendly, and talking with them may very well be one of the highlights of your trip to Spain. Spanish cuisine is heavily influence by seafood and the country’s maritime history.

VISITNG SOUTH AMERICA
More than 190 million people speak Spanish in South America, so there’s a good chance if you are going to one of the beautiful destinations there, you will be glad you know the language. You bet it will come in handy with your Machu Picchu tour guide or with your tango instructor in Buenos Aires.

SPANISH-SPEAKING COUNTRIES
There are more than 417 million Spanish-speaking people worldwide. It is the main language spoken in Mexico, Spain and many countries in South America, including Argentina, Venezuela and Colombia. More than 44 million people in the United States speak Spanish as their native language. It is the second most natively spoken language in the world after Mandarin Chinese.

Here are some basic Spanish phrases that you will use often:

• ¿Cuánto cuesto? (How much does it cost?)
• ¿Dónde está el baño? (Where is the bathroom?)
• ¿Cómo está usted? (How are you?)
