Now You Can Have Spanish Immersion Program Cambridge

By Lelia Hall


People learn languages, like Spanish, for all sorts of different reasons. Planning a vacation to a Spanish-speaking country and wanting to fully absorb the experience is good motivation. Perhaps even stronger motivation is to gain an edge over the competition for a promotion at work that would take the successful candidate to a great job. Some folk are required to learn a new language in school. By far the most effective method for absorbing a new language fast is to join a Spanish immersion program Cambridge.

Situated in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, Cambridge MA was named after the prestigious university town in England. The Puritan theology of that area had a huge influence on the theological and cultural development of most of New England. Just 15 minutes north of Boston, Cambridge houses three eminent universities: Harvard, Radcliffe, and MIT.

The town's location, upriver from Boston Harbor, was chosen in 1630 because it would be easy to defend from British troops. In addition to Boston, Cambridge MA is handy for Somerville, Arlington, Belmont, and Watertown. In the census of 2010, there were just over 7 percent people with Hispanic or Latino origin.

The Latino/Hispanic community here originate from all over the globe, from Cuba and Puerto Rico, both Caribbean islands, and a number of countries in Europe as well as Central and South America. Although it is now a Francophone country, the Dominican Republic, formerly Santo Domingo, was originally Spanish.

Spain shares the Iberian peninsula with Portugal in southwestern Europe. Explorers sponsored by 15th century Spain spread the Spanish diaspora all over the world. The second-largest country in Europe land area-wise, Spain is the 5th largest population-wise. Spain is a popular holiday spot among the British, loved for its salsa dancing, spicy sausages, olives and flamenco music.

The United Mexican States are located on the Pacific coast of Central America, just south of California and sharing borders with Texas, New Mexico and Arizona. Perhaps surprisingly, Mexico boasts one of the world's largest economies. According to the World Bank, Mexico is an upper-middle income country. It is the single largest silver producer in the world and is one of the top ten oil producers.

The Republic of Cuba occupies an entire Caribbean island. Its closest neighbor is southern Florida; specifically, Miami. The island nation has been glamorized in television programs such as Miami Vice and CSI Miami. The relationship between the United States and Cuba have been frosty, at best, for more than 50 years, ever since President Bautista was toppled from power by Fidel Castro in 1959. Things are showing signs of warming up.

With so many different and interesting languages from which to choose, native English speakers are often spoiled for choice when it comes to selecting a new language to learn. For many reasons, Spanish is a very popular choice. For one thing, Americans don't have to go very far to practice their newly learned skills. On the flip side, there are many states in the United States with a substantial population of Spanish-speakers.
