It is possible to travel without knowing the language, even in some regions, even if you know a foreign language very well, speaking does not mean much because the other person does not.. Why did I feel the need to learn Spanish during my trip to Mexico and took a short course and why did I do it in Mexico and not Spain?. It’s coming..
The Benefits of Learning Spanish
470 million people speak
Spanish people brought their own culture and language to the countries they went to when they opened up to the new world.. That’s why Spanish is spoken in many parts of the world.. 470 million people to be exact. Although not very valid in Turkey and Europe, the dominant language in North and South America elsewhere in the world is Spanish.. For those considering education or career in these regions, learning Spanish is more of a necessity than a necessity..
Learning a New Language Improves the Brain
According to the researches of scientists, learning a new language improves the brain at any age. While it’s easier to learn as a kid, let’s not make this an excuse as adults..
Provides Convenience While Traveling
Many people do not speak English or prefer not to speak English in countries where this language, which dominates at the other end of the world, is spoken. Required to make a reservation, order food or get from one place to another.
The relationship between Mexicans and Americans is well known.. Although they are inseparable, it cannot be said that they love each other very much.. Mexico welcomes too many American tourists (gringos). When you speak English to Mexicans, you are branded gringo and mistreated, especially if you are somewhat European in character.. I decided to learn Spanish so I can say I’m not a gringo either.. It works, although I still have problems because I can’t speak fluently.
Why Mexico?
Even though Spain is the dream country of many people, it is not inferior to Mexico.. A truly hidden paradise. Caribbean beaches, mountains, plains, cenotes and that amazing food. Mexico has an amazing cuisine, whether it’s meat or seafood.. After a few months of eating it’s easy to understand why Mexicans are slightly chubby. Since the mother has an important place in the family, it is not possible to say no to the food she puts on the plate.. Even if you are a guest.. Learning a language will be a fun experience in a country that stands out with its art as well as its food and nature and has trained important painters such as Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo.. Another important issue is the economy.. Mexico is a cheap country compared to many countries, even compared to Turkey.. Course fees and accommodation fees are not upsetting.. While I was extending my stay in Mexico for the course, I was also aware that I would not be financially strained.. I chose to take the course in Oaxaca. The most important reason for this was that it was a relatively big city and the city was beautiful.. I brought Sandra’s message from Becari Language School on M.Bravo street, where I took the course.
