Have you ever heard the phrase "English opens many doors"?

Whether we like it or not, a second language is extremely relevant nowadays. It doesn't necessarily have to be English. However, taking into account that our mother tongue is Spanish - the 4th most spoken language in the world - it is ideal that we look for another language that allows us to expand the number of people with whom we can communicate, having English as a second language is almost a requirement if we want to move up in our jobs.
