Lima, Peru (PRWEB) January 29, 2008

The Spanish language is swiftly becoming indispensable in the German professional world. For this reason, a record number of Germans are beginning to study Spanish language programs.

German interest in the Hispanic culture is also on the rise. More and more German speakers are traveling to Latin America and discovering the natural beauty and diverse culture of this continent.

According to the German Latin America Association (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Lateinamerika)*, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Costa Rica and Mexico are now amongst the top Latin American destinations for German tourists.

Ecuador's participation in the 2006 German hosted World Cup has awoken growing interest in the country, with the total number of German tourists in Ecuador rising from 25,000 in 2005 to 27,500 in 2006.

More than 120,000 Germans traveled to Mexico in 2006 and this figure is expected to rise to 300,000 by 2010.

As well as for tourism, Germans are traveling to Spanish speaking countries for work and business related purposes. Many are now taking Spanish language courses in South America.

Spanish is a romance language and helps Germans to learn other related European languages, such as French, Portuguese and Italian. Many Germans choose to learn Spanish in Lima (Lernen Sie Spanisch in Lima (http://elsol. idiomasperu. com/german/index. html) ), the capital of Peru and the oldest colonial city in the Americas.
