Learn How to Speak Spanish in Edinburgh

Get Started and Learn Spanish

Edinburgh is a multicultural city with an estimated population of almost 500,000 people according to the 2011 Census, and 5,000 of them are Spanish speakers. Learning Spanish, then, will integrate you into this multicultural community, as you will be able to communicate with Spanish speakers on another level. Moreover, if you are looking for a new job, Spanish proficiency will also make you stand out in comparison with other monolingual candidates, and even let you get a whole lot more out of your trip to Spain or Latin America! At Language Trainers, we specialise in designing personalised courses that adapt to your skills and requirements, no matter how busy your schedule is.

Why Study Spanish in Edinburgh

Learn Spanish for Work: Today, business relations with Hispanic countries play a vital role in the British economy, and especially in Edinburgh, the city with the strongest economy of any city in the UK outside of London. An impressive 43% of its population hold a degree-level or professional qualification. Competition in Edinburgh is fierce, which is why learning a language such as Spanish is essential for giving you the edge over other candidates. Taking Spanish courses in Edinburgh will enhance your marketability greatly among employers, taking your career to an international stage. For example, some companies that are always looking for bilingual speakers are Amazon, Sykes and Mindbench to fill positions such as Customer Service Representative, Project Manager and Travel Account Developer.

Learn Spanish for Travel: The benefits of taking a Spanish course are not limited to work and business. Spanish is the official language of 20 different countries, so the ability to speak it will make your travels abroad much more exciting. Spain is one of the favourite holiday destinations for Scotland’s citizens, with passenger numbers for tourist hotspots like Madrid and Malaga rising every year. In 2019, some of the busiest routes to and from Edinburgh came from Spain, as Iberia started flying directly to and from Malaga, Tenerife, Barcelona, Alicante and Madrid. In just a few hours you will be in the sunny beaches of Alicante, communicating with locals and using the skills you learn with Language Trainers. So, learning Spanish will not only enhance your career but will also grant you much more freedom on your holidays to explore the country in depth.

Learn Spanish for Culture and Social: Those more interested in understanding the Hispanic culture will be happy to know that this community in Edinburgh is also large and vibrant. Organisations such as the Hispanic Arts Scotland, for example, promote Spanish arts and gather large Edinburgh flamenco flash mobs all over the city. And if you are more into cinema, the University of Edinburgh has been organising its own Edinburgh Spanish Film Festival since 2010, bringing together both the local and Hispanic community through the arts. Taking Spanish classes in Edinburgh brings you closer to this exotic and lively culture whilst remaining in the heart of Scotland! Learning Spanish is also useful to connect with the local community that speaks the language. You can make new friends by joining the Edinburgh Spanish/English Language Exchange, which started in 1999. Its more than 7,000 members get together to improve their Spanish in an informal setting. Don’t be shy, there is no minimum level required!
