(Modern Foreign Language)
“The limits of my language mean the limits of my world”
Ludwig Wittgenstein
As you begin your learning journey at Outwood Academy Carlton, you will also begin your language learning with gusto.
You will study the Spanish because;
It’s the second most widely spoken language in the world, spoken not only in Spain but also in most Latin American countries and many Caribbean islands. What’s more, over 50 million US citizens speak Spanish making it a joint first language with English there.
Spanish is considered to be the easiest of languages for British people to learn because it’s very easy to pronounce and the grammar is easy to learn.
You are most likely to holiday in a Spanish speaking country so you can practise your new skills.
Latino culture and music is fun and vibrant. We will also teach you about their most popular festivals and celebrations.

One last thought…..
Some of you may have studied Spanish before and that’s great! Some of you may have studied French and some of you may not have studied a foreign language at all. Do not worry about this. We will start from the beginning and everyone will be able to succeed.
