WHY LEARN SPANISH? Learning Spanish goes beyond mere communication. It enhances cognitive abilities such as memory and analytical skills, broadens cultural understanding, and opens up a myriad of career opportunities. In the United States, the Spanish-speaking population has surpassed 54 million. Forecasts suggest that by 2050, one in three Americans will be Spanish speakers. Thus, proficiency in Spanish is not just advantageous but increasingly essential. One of our students, lovely Pedro from Hong Kong kindly asked his mamá: "Did you know that Spanish is the most studied language at all levels of education? I believe that I should study Spanish instead of french because, if you search it up, you'll find out that Spanish is marked number 3 in the list of the languages that are easier to learn for English speakers, while french is marked the seventh on that list. Another fact that supports this is that English and Spanish have share many cognates, which are words that are similar and derive from the same language. Both Spanish's and English's origin is Indo-European, and share tons of similar words. For example, correcto is correct, delicioso is delicious and pizza is, well, pizza. So, learning Spanish will not be hard. And believe it or not, over 500 million people speak Spanish, so if I learn Spanish instead, I'll be able to communicate with many other people that speak it as well. It's also the official language of 20 countries, like Argentina, Mexico, Spain and more, which strengthens the fact that I'll be able to communicate with more people. In conclusion, Spanish will be easier for me to learn, and I will benefit more from it. So, I believe that if you let me learn Spanish, it would be the best for me!" Isn't he cute?!

A Message from Susana Lezcano:
"¡Hola estudiantes! My name is Susana Lezcano, and I'm a Spanish teacher and author from Madrid, Spain. From a very young age, I fell in love with the beauty of the Spanish language, and my passion for it has only grown stronger with time. When I moved to America at 17, I discovered that many Americans shared my love for the language, and I knew that teaching Spanish was my calling.
Over the years, I have developed a curriculum that caters to all ages and levels of proficiency in Spanish. After teaching on Outschool for just one year, I was fully booked, teaching eight hours a day! It was then that I realized that I needed a team of awesome Spanish teachers who share my passion for teaching and love for the language.
And so, Spanish the Fun Way Academy was born - a place where we teach Spanish in a fun and engaging way, helping students of all ages to learn and appreciate this beautiful language. We are committed to providing the highest quality education to our students and aim to inspire them to embrace and love Spanish as much as we do.
