Spoken in over twenty countries, it\u2019s the second most common worldwide. With Spanish in their back pocket, your children can explore Hispanic culture easily and work in any Spanish speaking around the world. There are 6,000 languages spoken worldwide, and we have so many tutors at MyTutor who would love to teach your child one of them! <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/view-tutors\/\">Take a look at our language tutors<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meet new friends<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">One of the most exciting things about learning a new language is making new friends. With school exchanges, websites like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.penpalworld.com\/\">PenPal World<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.interpals.net\/\">InterPals<\/a>, Skype, and social media, it\u2019s increasingly easier to discover and keep in contact with friends from abroad.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Learning a language will allow your children to make friends with international friends at school and university.

Why limit your children to experiences in one country when there are 195 countries to choose from?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Learning another language will allow your children to volunteer on charity schemes abroad:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.britishcouncil.org\/\">The British Council<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tefl.org.uk\/\">TEFL<\/a>: teaching English as a foreign language in primary and secondary schools all around the world.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.workaway.info\/\">Workaway<\/a>: working in another country in return for bed and board.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.erasmusplus.org.uk\/\">Erasmus:\u00a0<\/a>an international student exchange programme for studying abroad.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All of these schemes are also great for improving your child&#8217;s CVs; growing essential skills and developing personality traits that employers will look for throughout their future careers.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Learn a wide range of new skills<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Not only will a MyTutor tutor test your children on reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills but the topics they will cover include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/view-tutors\/Politics\/\">Politics<\/a>, Sociology, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/view-tutors\/Philosophy\/\">Philosophy<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/view-tutors\/Science\/\">Science<\/a>, Religion, English, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/view-tutors\/History\/\">History<\/a>, Business, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/view-tutors\/Geography\/\">Geography<\/a>. Not only does that make learning a language more varied, but the skills and knowledge they&#8217;ll gain will look incredibly impressive on any personal statement or CV and open up new job opportunities.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Learn about new cultures<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Modern Languages is one of the most diverse, dynamic, and ever-changing subjects because it\u2019s inextricably linked to modern culture. It will give your children the skills to be involved in international politics, current affairs, television, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/view-tutors\/Art\/\">art<\/a>, literature, music, film, science, fashion, and so on.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s good for your brain<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Guess what \u2013 learning a foreign language can increase the size of your child&#8217;s brain.
