As America and Mexico engage more heavily in trade and commerce it’s becoming increasingly important for American professionals to understand the business terminology and common expressions used in Mexico. AmeriSpan’s Spanish for Business program combines group Spanish language and culture classes with specialized Business language courses to give you the necessary tools for effective communication in business situations. The course will cover a wide spectrum of business topics from Market globalization, economics, and accounting to marketing, human resources management, and environmental issues.

Information about Guanajuato, Mexico (Click to view)
For nearly 200 years beginning in 1558, Guanajuato was one of the richest silver producing cities in the world. The city possesses many subterranean passageways and narrow, winding streets that make it truly unique. Brightly painted houses line steep slopes of a ravine that once contained a river. This extremely charming city is culturally very lively and exhibits an energetic, youthful feel. This is due in part to the 15,000 students attending the University of Guanajuato that is known for its art programs. During the last two weeks of October, Guanajuato hosts the Cervantes Arts Festival, attracting famous artists from around the world.
Diversity is the word that best describes Mexico's people and geography. Over 50 different indigenous groups, each with its own language, comprise 28% of Mexico's 83 million inhabitants. Divided by the Tropic of Cancer into the temperate North and the tropical South, the country boasts snow-capped volcanoes, jungle clad beaches, deserts, archeological ruins, modern cities, upscale resorts, and isolated villages.
Participants: Most participants are from USA and Europe. Varying ages. Both college students and professionals
