Here’s the translation to American English:
This summer, Spain has seen a significant increase in the demand for language teachers, coinciding with the end of the school year. According to data from TusClasesParticulares, a leading platform for private tutoring, the interest in learning English remains at the top, closely followed by French. Demand has increased by up to 50% compared to December, reflecting students’ desire to get ahead in their studies for the upcoming academic cycle.
With the arrival of vacation, both parents and students are prioritizing language learning. During the months of June, July, and August, approximately 70% of all inquiries on the platform pertain to language classes, in contrast to the 20% observed in winter. This trend is also driven by the travel plans of many students, who choose to learn French, Italian, and German in preparation for their trips.
The most in-demand teachers are English instructors, representing 66% of inquiries. They are followed by French teachers at 14%, German at 7%, Italian at 4%, and Basque at 3%. Albert Clemente, CEO of TusClasesParticulares, commented on the relevance of learning a language in these times. “Learning a language is one of the most rewarding things you can do, whether for work or for an upcoming trip. There’s nothing better than being able to connect with someone in their own language,” he states.
Clemente emphasizes that despite the rise of artificial intelligence and translation tools, it is essential to maintain and reinforce language skills, especially among young people. According to him, this summer represents an excellent opportunity not only to improve job prospects but also to enrich quality of life through learning a new language.
Furthermore, the CEO underscores the importance of immersion in the learning process and highlights that his platform helps thousands of students each month discover their passion for languages and prepare adequately for their return to classes in September.
