SPANISH
Spoken by over 400 million people, Spanish is the fourth most common language in the world. In Canada, it is the mother-tongue of growing and vibrant Latino communities and the fifth most common home language in Toronto.
The Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies Spanish Program will introduce you to the language, literature and linguistics of Spain and Spanish America.
Discover the fascinating social and cultural context of the Spanish speaking world. Our challenging courses explore a range of topics, from the development of the Spanish language to an examination of the Renaissance and Baroque period, when Spain's prolific playwrights rivalled Shakespeare; from to the complex literature following the Spanish Civil War to the vast, innovative work of Latin America's writers.
