Studying Spanish is always a good option, and it is better if you decide do it in one of the most exciting cities in Spain. There are many reasons why we prefer learn Spanish in Barcelona, but here we want to expose only the most important.
1. The influence in the world
Spanish is the third most spoken language in the world, behind English and Mandarin Chinese. It is spoken in Spain, the Caribbean Islands (Cuba and Puerto Rico), the Dominican Republic, North America (Mexico), Central America (Guatemala, Belize, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama) and South America (Colombia, Venezuela, Uruguay, Paraguay, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador). Spanish is also the second most spoken language in the United States. And the most important, the Spanish language is also one of the two official languages in Barcelona.
2. The extensive Hispanic culture
Studying Spanish will help you enjoy the work of masters of literature, film, and culture. The works of Garcilaso, Quevedo, Bécquer, Cervantes, García Márquez, Allende or Neruda, as well as Almodóvar, Saura or Médem can only be appreciated in their original language in all their extension.
And more and more, the film and television industry is more important, with actors such as Benicio del Toro or Antonio Banderas, or directors like Alejandro González Iñarritu, Alfonso Cuarón or Pedro Almodóvar, singers like Ricky Martín, Pablo Alborán or Jennifer Lopez and many more .

3. By tourism
If you are traveling to Barcelona for vacation, work or study reasons, speaking Spanish will help you a lot. Studying Spanish will open many doors to a professional level.
Barcelona is a must visit because it has tones of museums, ancient architecture, vestiges of many cultures and you can travel places for hours breathing a culture without par. Thus, studying Spanish while on vacation is also a very good option to make the most of your stay in the country of your choice.
4. Because it will help you with other languages
Modern Spanish is part of the languages derived from Latin. In addition to Spanish, the languages that are part of this group are: Portuguese, French, Italian, Romanian (including the Moldovan dialect), Catalan and Galician. Thus, if you already have a medium level of the language, you will know the grammatical structure of the Romance languages and you will not have much difficulty when you read texts in these languages, since a high percentage of words have kept the same structure and although they change their pronunciation, they are very similar.
5. For the gastronomy
Without a doubt, one of the best reasons why to learn Spanish. Although the most famous cuisines in Europe are French and Italian, the sophistication of the first and the simplicity of the second, make Spain, and Barcelona as well, a gastronomic power worldwide and the multiple Michelin Stars and international awards attest.
Nothing like being able to order something typical like a paella, a cold gazpacho or some crumbs. Cold tapas, hot food and deep dishes enchant Spain as a top-class culinary destination and knowing Spanish will help you get into that world.
