Spanish

The Spanish language reflects the rich and diverse cultures of countries around the world: Spain, Mexico, Cuba, Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Honduras, Paraguay, Guatemala, Panama, Venezuela, Uruguay, Bolivia, the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Morocco and the Philippines. Spanish ranks fourth among the languages of the world and is the native language of over 360 million people. It is also the second major language in the United States, with over 30 million speakers.

The great contributions of Spanish-speaking writers such as Cervantes, Villalobos, Neruda, Garcia-Lorca, Garcia Marquez, Vargas Llosa, Paz, Arenas, Cortazar and artists such as Goya, Velazquez, El Greco, Murillo, Picasso, Dali, Gaudi, Miró, Orozco and Rivera have greatly enriched world culture. Why study Spanish? San Diego's proximity to Mexico and our large Spanish speaking population make Spanish an essential tool for regional business and education.

Grossmont's Spanish for the Native Speaker classes offer students the opportunity to improve their Spanish language skills.
