WHO WE ARE
The University of Manitoba Spanish Club is an academic and social club created by the French, Spanish and Italian Department at the University of Manitoba Faculty of Arts. Our purpose is to help students learn and practice the Spanish language, and generate interest in related topics, such as Spanish-speaking countries and cultures.
​
WHY STUDY SPANISH?
Spanish is the language of a people who have made many important contributions to the history and culture of the world. Today, there are close to 400 million native speakers of Spanish and close to 500 million speakers worldwide, including Spain, Central and South America, and North America. It is a language of enormous social, political, and economic importance.
The study of Spanish opens up opportunities in fields such as diplomacy, translating, interpreting, teaching, journalism and commerce. The development of closer Canadian ties with Spain and Latin America is extending the range of career opportunities through various international organizations.
