Two million students between the ages of 11 and 15 learned Spanish  in the European Union (EU) during 2014. That is to say, the fourth most studied language in secondary school, according to the Community statistics office. That’s why to study Spanish in Spain is such an appealing choice for many people that would like to take Spanish Language Courses as well as they enjoy  the lovely weather we have in Nerja.
