LA is of
course a great city to learn Spanish in. The city has a very
large and active Spanish-speaking community, so it is easy
to find the opportunity to practise – in 2007 a survey found
48.5% of the total population were Hispanic or Latino! This
is not surprising in a city with a Spanish name – ‘Los
Angeles’ (The Angels).
Because of
this, the skill of speaking Spanish is in very high demand
in the Los Angeles job market – almost any job application
you take will ask if you can speak Spanish. So if you are
looking to greatly improve your chances of employment or
your chances of promotion, it is a
very good decision to learn Spanish in
LA.
The economy of Los Angeles is driven by
international trade, entertainment (television, motion
pictures, interactive games, recorded music), aerospace,
technology, petroleum, fashion, apparel, and tourism. Los
Angeles is also the largest manufacturing center in the
western United States.
