Spain
Hola España!
Did you know that Spanish is the second most widely spoken language in the world?! With over 400 million speakers and 21 countries that recognise it as an official language (plus the United Nations), it’s a fantastic language to have under your belt. Learn it on a WEP program to Spain!
Spain is much more than just its language though! It’s a historical hub blessed with a stack of sunshine, beautiful coastlines and lively residents (also churros). Spain is pretty famous for its architecture (Gaudi), artists (Picasso) and soccer superstars (too many to mention!).
Share in the hype and become a Spaniard in your own right on a WEP program!
