San Francisco is one of the most vibrant and breath-taking places in the world. It’s also a city with a lot of Spanish history. It was named after St. Francis by Spanish settlers who arrived in the region in 1776. According to the U.S. Census Bureau 2010, there are more than 673 thousand Spanish-speaking people living in San Francisco, that is, 16.5% of the whole population. If you would like to make new friends with these people, then learning Spanish can be of great help. You’ll also get to enjoy your holidays in Latino countries, find new and exciting job opportunities and even understand the menus of the many tapas bars in the city. Language Trainers can provide you with flexible lessons so you can acquire this fascinating language at your own pace and time.

Why Study Spanish in San Francisco

Learn Spanish for Work: Taking Spanish lessons in San Francisco can be an asset in a city where so many people speak this language. There are many companies in this city such as the South San Francisco Unified School District and Pacific Aviation that prefer bilingual Spanish speakers rather than monolingual employees. Another way of broadening your career horizons is to contact the California Spain Chamber of Commerce on 850 Battery St, a nonprofit organization that since 2011 has been promoting networking between California and Spain. Every year, they organize a Start-up Conference with top-notch companies from all around the world. This is an excellent opportunity for building up your network if you are in the technology field. The Hispanic Chambers of Commerce (HCCSF) is also based in San Francisco, on Mission Street. This is an umbrella organization merges the efforts of the Nicaraguan-American, Bay Area Central-American, Guatemalan-American and Latin American and the Caribbean chambers. Together, they provide the community seminars, workshops and networking opportunities.

Learn Spanish for Culture & Food: In case you are interested in getting to know more about Latino culture, you can do so by watching movies. You’ll be pleased to know you can attend the Latino Film Festival, which started back in 2008. This annual event features unique works from filmmakers from Latin America, Spain, and Portugal. Most of the times, the movies are played at a variety of venues around the city, including the Brava Theater Center and Galeria de la Raza. After taking Spanish classes, you can try and watch these movies without subtitles! If you love dancing, you’ll be pleased to know you can get to know more about the Cuban culture in Salsa Vida SF. This club has salsa lessons and events you can enjoy while getting to know more about the history of this traditional dance. Apart from cinema and dancing, you can delight your senses with exquisite Spanish cuisine. There are many tapas bars such as Bask, a traditional restaurant where you can taste tapas, paellas and cocktails from Spain. Mexican food-lovers will also be pleased to know there are a lot of options for trying this food in San Francisco, such as Tacorea on Bush Street. This traditional Mexican restaurant offers tacos, tots, burritos and margaritas. Most of the menu is written in Spanish, so eating out can be an excellent way to put to use what you learn in your lessons!

Learn Spanish for Social & Travel: It’s also possible to put your Spanish into play to get to know new people. For example, you can join the San Francisco Spanish Language MeetUp, who regularly meet at El Rio Bar on Mission Street. With more than 5,700 members, it’s a very popular gathering of Spanish speakers, native and non-native, who get together to chat in Spanish. The main idea behind the meet-ups is to make friends, so they welcome new members warmly and with enthusiasm. Another organization that aims at socializing with Spanish speakers is the Club Puertorriqueño de San Francisco. Founded in 1912, is the oldest Latino organization in the whole country. This club tries to promote the values and the culture of Puerto Rico by organizing picnics, art exhibits and, of course, meals so that the members can get together and speak in Spanish. Also, if you’d like to travel, you’ll be glad to know that there are direct flights from San Francisco to Cancún. In just over 5 hours you can be in those paradisiacal beaches ordering margaritas!
