1. Career as a Spanish Translation and Interpreter
Knowledge of Spanish can help you get the chance to become a translator, interpreter, editor, proofreader, and content writer.
While there are many translation software like Google, Bing, etc., machine translation cannot replace human translation.
There are words with dual meanings in different languages. Thus, what works in one tongue does not necessarily work in another.
Human translators and interpreters are much more reliable and effective, and the ‘personal’ aspect will always beat technology.
That’s why a career as a Spanish translator or interpreter is in high demand. And a job that pays well everywhere.
To be an acknowledged translator or Interpreter in India, you will need near-native proficiency in the target as well as the source language.
It would be best to have a mastery or higher competency, something like C1 of the SIELE or DELE, or a Master’s degree in Spanish.
With experience in translating and transcribing, you can also contemplate the role of specialist translation in various fields like financial, legal, medical, technical, academic, and literary.
2. Employment in BPO, KPO, IT, Call Centers & MNC
One of the primary attractions that pull many Indians to learn Spanish is the outstanding job openings it provides in the ever-growing outsourcing & offshoring businesses.
There are plenty of processes in a BPO, KPO, and ITES which involve different roles and pay-scale.
Most of these BPO/KPO come from the USA, where Spanish is the second most valuable language.
After English, Spanish is the most popular foreign language for jobs in the BPO industry.
From all indications, it is clear that these organizations are set to witness growth at a colossal pace.
Thus, adding Spanish to your CV is a surefire way to get a language specialist job in BPO and IT.
In the age of increasing globalization, many Indian and MNC companies are looking for Spanish language experts.
You can find such openings in various sectors like education, IT sector, retailing, marketing, export houses, pharmaceutical, financial institutions, and small to large scale business involving international dealing.
You can participate in the multilingual call center services the sector provides for different offshore companies. It includes the telecom, banking, insurance, engineering, manufacturing, aviation, oil & gas, hospitality, automobile, medical industries, etc.
To further your career in this sunrise industry, you don’t need to be a fluent or Spanish language expert.
A Diploma or Advanced Diploma in Spanish from any University, or B1 or B2 of international DELE or SIELE, is enough.
Most of these jobs in MNC are mainly available in metropolitan cities in India.
The average salary requiring language is usually between 4 to 6 lakhs per annum, with an annual growth rate of anywhere between 10% to 30%.

Several CBSE, ICSE & international schools, and colleges and universities have introduced Spanish in their curriculum.
These days, many companies and private institutes are also searching for Spanish trainers for their corporate and professional courses. Besides, private tutoring and online classes are a few other alternatives.
Thanks to a growing number of students choosing to study Spanish, those with excellent Spanish command and know how to teach are often deployed as Spanish instructors.
The employment potential in this profession is plenty — across India.
Plus, you can also opt for a freelance linguist job.
The salary depends on your experience, profile, academic qualifications, and other aspects of this domain.

Every foreign embassy hires local people for a wide array of work.
Spanish jobs in the embassy are not just about high salaries and perks. But you also about gaining prestige and reputation.
That is why working for any embassy is one of the most sought-after jobs for language learners.

There are more than 70 nations with measurable Spanish-speaking populations.
After learning Spanish, you can apply for jobs in more than 20 embassies in India. While there are various kinds of jobs in an embassy but they are primarily administrative.
In most cases, apart from language talents, you also need other requisite qualifications and skills.
For example, an MBA in international relations, IT professionals, HR, an academic background in finance, marketing, to name a few.
5. Career prospects in Export and Import Businesses
Trade is the engine of the global economy.
In the increasingly interconnected world, there is no far-off place.
Many Spanish-speaking regions, especially in the US, Central, and South America, specifically seek bilateral cooperation with India.
Spanish can surely increase your chances of finding a new job in an export company, getting a promotion or a transfer overseas, or getting selected for international travel or foreign assignment with better pay.
On the one hand, many Spanish companies are setting their regional offices in India. And on another side, many Indian firms are looking to expand their footprints into the Hispanic world.
From conglomerates like Aditya Birla Group to the IT giant TCS, other Indian companies have opened development centers or acquired companies all across Latin America.
The Indian economy maintains close ties with the USA economy in many market areas. Thus, providing customers with services, tech support, IT services, and many other services in various fields.
Spanish puts in a firm position to succeed in export and import business in Latin America and the US, where the Hispanic population makes the largest minority group.
Trade between India and Latin America has increased from US$2.6 billion in 2001 to US$42 billion in 2013 and could reach USD 100 billion by 2025.
The spurt in India’s investment and trade with Latin America is primarily triggered by the dynamism of Indian IT, mining, energy, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing sectors.
India has become a significant trading partner of many countries in the region. It has also sought to engage the areas to expand these economies.
Many companies that work in Latin America are looking for people who know Spanish and have been exposed to Latin culture.
As a result, the need for a Spanish specialist in India has increased multifold in recent times.
6. Importance of Spanish in Tourism and Hospitality
The hotel, leisure, entertainment, hospitality, travel, and tourism sector are among the largest and fastest-growing segments of the domestic and global economies.
As the world is becoming a single global village, the understanding of Spanish is a great value add to your resume in the ever-growing travel and tourism industry.

Hi Sir,
My name is Keshav and I have a big history of Spanish background. I studied Bachelor and Master’s in Spanish at the English and Foreign Languages University. Later on, I completed my Master’s in Translation, Interpretation, and International Communication at the University of Pablo de Olavide, Sevilla(Spain). Right now, I am working for Oracle Bangalore as a “Senior Language Specialist.”
However, I have decided to leave the company as the job involves only 10 percent of Spanish and 90 percent of technical stuff. I am very interested in doing Spanish-English or English-Spanish translation, but I cannot trust these companies enough that they will be offered that kind of job. I am also open to teaching. Where do you think I can apply in which I will be able to serve an entity or someone in my area of interest?
If possible, please reach out to me by mail as well. I really appreciate your guidance
Thanks,
Keshav
Well, you have to search for jobs that are focused on the Spanish language. Not all jobs are like that, still you will be able to find some. Translation, teaching, and writing are such profiles.
I am a 35 year old, i am working in bpo, if i start learning Spanish language now can my bpo experience count when i would apply for Spanish jobs in bpo and get a good hike salary like 5 to 7 lakh per annum income?
Possible if you have a good command of the language, along with experience in the field.
Sir, I have completed my Bachelor’s in Political Science with a first division. I am preparing to get into a Group B job in the Indian Ministry of external affairs. What will help more, pursuing an MBA in Finance or Accounting or pursuing a degree in Spanish? If the latter, then what degree in Spanish do you suggest and from where?
This is pretty subjective, and only you can decide. Perhaps, consult a career counselor. For a degree, you can only get a BA, but there is also a part-time non-degree course. You can learn Spanish by enrolling in a private institute also.
Sir, i am in class 12th and after 12th I want to learn Spanish. So after 12th, what should I do and I am not good at English. SO, first, should I learn English then Spanish, or else learn Spanish?
You can learn both at the same time. You do not need to be fluent in English to learn Spanish. Some elementary understanding is enough.
Hello sir, I have completed my bachelor’s degree in bba and now i want to learn Spanish language. So can learning Spanish alone without combining it with BBA be of any help to me in getting jobs related to Spanish in India? And also how can I be fluent in Spanish as I am learning it through online classes and at home through Duolingo?
You can learn Spanish online, though it is difficult to achieve a higher level without engaging with a Spanish teacher. Also, Duolingo is only for elementary, not for serious learning. Also, I’d suggest doing MBA later once you get some experience after BBA. This will enhance your career prospects.
Can I do a master’s in Spanish after doing a bachelor’s in sociology? If I do it, will it be beneficial?
Without prior Spanish knowledge, it is not possible. So, first, you have to learn Spanish and achieve the upper intermediate level. Then you can take the entrance test for MA in Spanish.
Sir,
I am pursuing a Bachelor’s in the Spanish language. Can I do MBA in Spain?
Yes.
Hi sir I am feeling stuck in my career. I am pursuing a b2 level in Spanish and I am a BCom graduate from du but I am confused about what to do next MBA or what. The problem is I don’t just want to proceed with Spanish only but also take my commerce skills. Please tell me what is the relevant career path and also the job in that field. Thank you, sir
You can consider MBA from a decent college. A combination of Spanish and PGDBA would be good. The specialization or any particular stream would depend on your goal.
Hello sir,
I’m a bit of a language nerd. I like to learn different languages, with their country and culture. I have a knowledge of 4 foreign languages excluding English. Though I’m most fluent in Spanish (I was an exchange student in one of the native-speaking countries), I also like to travel a lot. Currently, I’m a commerce student in my last year of university. I want to study abroad for my future studies so I can learn a different language and its country’s culture with a degree which will land me in a reputed job but I’m confused with which path to choose where I can meet my personality traits. It would be an enormous help if you can advise me as to which career path will be most beneficial for me.
Thank you 🙂
With so many possibilities, it is difficult to suggest something specific. This is beyond the scope of the Q&A section. I’d recommend finding a career counselor that deals with languages. I also have a similar service that you can check on this site.
Hi, Can you give me an idea of the kinds of jobs that allow me to go and work and live in Spain or Latin America?
There will be all kinds of jobs in Spain and Latin America similar to India. Getting a job is an altogether different ball game and depends on your qualification, skills, and experience.
Hi sir my ear is a little weak. After learning Spanish, is any chance of a job besides a BPO job or call centre job? And which level is needed to complete for getting the job?
You can look for a job that doesn’t require invoice/outbound calls. For example, documentation-related, chat support, translation, proofreading, and there are many such options. Aim for minimum B1, though B2 is better and mostly demanded for decent new openings.
Hello sir! I have completed my BA political science (hons) from DU and have been doing a Spanish course from Cervantes. Currently, I am at A2.2 level. My question to you is that what can be done with the combination of these two qualifications? And to become a Spanish teacher is it imp to do B.ED also? What degree do you recommend for further Masters or B.ED?
Many schools ask for B.Ed, though it is not required in private institutes. So only take it if you intend to teach in any school. I would recommend master in a popular stream than B.Ed. Think over the various options, and pick the one that intrigues you and offers better employment choices.
Same situation. What can be done in a combination with these 2 qualifications? I have a bachelor’s, master’s in political science with a b.ed.
Which exam you have to clear for taking a certificate of language for Spanish fluency?
DELE or SIELE.
sir,
I am 35 years old, and I am currently in an MNC banking Domain as a Business analyst. I wanted to create a secondary job backup knowledge, and at the same time, I wanted to add value to my existing profile. So I decided to learn a new language (like Spanish). Attaining which level of certification in Spanish will assure me a job as a standalone Knowledge.
At least B1, if not B2.
How long will it take to complete B1 or B2 normally?
That depends on your learning approach and how much time you devote. Usually, it takes 2 years to complete B2. But this is pretty subjective. I have seen a few who took 3 years and a few who completed within 18 months.
Dear sir, I have done my 10+2 in 2018 now I am thinking to do a 1-year diploma in Spanish from a private institute and if I get b2 diploma from Cervantes. I am able or eligible to find a job in bpo, kpo, and mnc. Currently, i am doing my ba with the English language. Will it help me? I am waiting for your reply sir thank you in advance
After B2, you will be qualified to apply for most jobs in BPO that are related to Spanish.
Hello Sir,
I am pursuing B.SC in Hotel Management and after the course, I want to join Aviation Sector especially as a Cabin Crew. So how influential is Spanish as a language in the Hospitality and Aviation Sector. Apart from it is A2 level significant enough to have a job in these sectors.
Spanish will be beneficial but may not be deciding factor. If a job in this field demands Spanish, the minimum requirement will be B1.
Sir, I’m doing a BSc in mathematics but I want to learn the Spanish language. Will my doing this help me in the future, if yes, then where?
Both are two totally different fields, though Spanish can help you make a career out of it.
Sir, I am learning the Spanish language at home along with my job. Actually, I want to become an interpreter. So could you suggest being better for my goal?
Try taking the DELE/SIELE test level-wise to measure your current Spanish level. Since the interpreter requires near-native level ability, aim for C1/C2.
Hello sir. Is it good to do bba and Spanish together part-time? Will these subjects benefit me together?
Yes.
Sir, is Economics (major) with a Spanish degree provided in India? If no, so is it good to go with a BA in economics and Spanish side by side for a career option.
I’m not aware of such a combination available in India. Yes, you can learn Spanish part-time, along with BA in economics.
For a good career option, sir, what should I do like – Ba in economics or International marketing or international relations with Spanish as a part-time course. Which subject is more good and beneficial with Spanish? And if any of these is beneficial, which is more beneficial for working in an embassy of Spain.
There isn’t any combination that is more beneficial at the UG level. It plays a more vital role at PG. Choose as per your career goal or something that interests you. To work as a full-time Spanish specialist, you only need Spanish, and other skills may or may matter a lot, depending on your job profile. In fact, regardless of your choices, you can still make a full-fledged career in Spanish. But, if your goal is something other than Spanish, focus on that.
Sir, I would like to learn a foreign language. Which has more scope for better opportunity French or Spanish?
Both are good from a career perspective.
Hello sir, I’m currently going to finish my DELE B1 and give the exam in March. My goal is to reach B2 and pass it by getting good marks and getting a good job in the respective field, but my parents say that I should complete it till C1 or C2. So just wanted to know what are the advantages of C1/C2 over a B2 certificate. Does a DELE C2 certificate give you job opportunities abroad? Can I apply for a foreign job if I pass the DELE C1 or C2?
C1 and C2 are advanced levels that open various specialized Spanish jobs like translator, interpreters, content writer, etc. You’ll be eligible for any job that requires Spanish, including some exclusive ones only meant for advanced learned. Getting an overseas job based entirely on C1/C2 is tricky, as, in most cases, native speakers are hired. Any in-demand combination will be more beneficial.
Hello Sir, I’ve taken admission in Certificate in Spanish at Daulat ram college. And for my graduation I’m thinking about Ba English honors and the college in which I will get my admission is far from my house. So, I just want to ask that Can I do both one full-time course and another part-time course together? Is that feasible for me or not? Or just doing Spanish (including higher studies in Spanish) is enough? And if yes, That I should do Ba English honors & Spanish language together then Ba English honors will help in my career future or not?
A certificate course is not a replacement for a degree program. You can pursue a BA in English and part-time Spanish. The combination will be beneficial in your career. After graduation, you can choose between an MA in Spanish or a Masters in any stream of your choice along with part-time Spanish.
Sir, if we suppose to have a job in MNC in Delhi. So, will the salary vary by diploma and degree? And is there any way to get a job in the Indian embassy with lang, excluding IFS what all can I do to get a job in the Indian embassy?
I have already told you that salary various factors like your knowledge, experience, and job profile, company where you’re working, location, and not just because of a diploma or degree. Getting a job in the embassy is tricky as there is a limited number of new openings. You can check → Spanish jobs in embassies.
Hello sir. I have taken admission to Ba program Spanish and advertising sales promotion and sales management at the University of Delhi. After completing graduation, can I get a decent job in a company abroad, or I will have to do an MBA and Masters in Spanish for the same?
Getting an overseas job without a Master’s degree and relevant experience is difficult. However, you can certainly get some jobs in India. From the long-term perspective, it would be better to pursue Masters’s program like MBA from a reputed University.
Thank you, sir. Can I do masters in Spanish along with an MBA, or I can complete only one thing at a time??
Pursuing two full-time courses is not feasible. Pick one.
Sir…one more question… I have also taken admission in a certificate course for french as i studied it from 5th till 10th in school. so will it be a problem for me to learn spanish as well as french? i am hoping to complete ba in spanish as well as advanced diploma in french within 3 years. is it the right decision? Please guide sir.
You can learn both if you are willing to devout enough time. There is no harm in that.
Sir, I am in the 12th standard, and very much interested in Spanish language. I want to do BA in Spanish. So, after a degree can I get a job in mnc and if I can get a job then what must be the salary approximately? What I can do after BA in Spanish as a career? And is language good for career and handsome salary?
While it is always difficult to give a salary overview as it depends on several factors. You can get some entry-level jobs involving Spanish after graduation. However, if you want to find a good job with a decent paycheck, you should aim for masters. Probably, a combination of MBA, Spanish, and some experience can help you succeed in your career. Good luck Anshika.
Thank you, sir. So is a degree better for Spanish as a career or diploma? And can I get a job in Indian embassy after MBA in Spanish?
For a full-fledged career in Spanish, BA is better than a diploma. But this is not mandatory. You can also achieve the same by taking a higher level of DELE or Advanced Diploma. If you don’t want to put all the eggs in one basket, explore some good combination. While an MBA will be surely beneficial in a variety of fields and organizations, but getting a position in the Indian embassy is very challenging without cracking IFS (Indian Foreign Service).
Ok, so do the salary of a person with a degree and diploma varies? And is language a good career option, or is it worth doing it?
The salary depends on several reasons, including company profile, knowledge, and experience. Yes, a foreign language is a good career path.
Is it important to learn Spanish from a reputed institute?
Not necessarily. You can enroll at any center as long as you can learn it properly. But do take the DELE test to gain widely acknowledge diplomas, which will be beneficial in your career.
Hello sir, I’m Sangeeth, and my age is 34 running. I finished my BA (English), and I am working in a small hotel. If I study Spanish in your academy, will I get a job? Are you conducting any Camus interview? In the future, will I get a decent salary?
Yes. No, we don’t conduct campus interviews, but we do forward the latest interview call that we receive from various companies. If you achieve advanced proficiency, it is possible to get a decent salary.

Hi, I am an HR professional. And given the circumstances, I am looking for a career change. As language is a great scope, I am wondering is it too late or difficult to opt for this at 28 years of age? To what extent will it be helpful? Thanks.
Age is no barrier when it comes to career involving languages. The extent will vary greatly depending on the engagement with the language and available opportunities.

Hello sir, I’m a DELE student from Uttarakhand currently at level B1. I was browsing the jobs related to Spanish and saw that some companies want a degree along with the DELE diploma, whereas I started studying for DELE after my 12th. So, I would have no college degree but the DELE certificate. Will this have an impact on my job selection?
It will impact to some extent, as most employers prefer candidates with at least a graduate degree. You will still get some opportunities, but in the long run, you should consider obtaining a bachelor’s degree.
Gracias, Are there any open university or distance online learning courses for Spanish? If not, will a simple BA degree be good for a job selection along with my DELE certificate?
I am not aware of any distance learning degree program in Spanish. Yes, BA in Spanish, along with DELE B2, is good enough for your career. You can also do graduation in some subjects, and simultaneously study Spanish to achieve a higher level. In short, at least aim for Graduate and B2.
Muchas gracias señor.
De nada 🙂
Hello sir,
I am a corporate banker in Delhi. I can write and speak Spanish fluently, but I don’t have any language diploma or degree. I learned my self. Is there any opportunity to work there for the same profile?
While you can do some freelance work, but for full-time jobs, most companies demand authentic certification or degrees. Why not take the DELE or SIELE exam to check your Spanish level? Besides, you will also earn an international diploma.

No, Advanced Diploma is not equivalent to BA in Spanish. However, for a vast majority of jobs, Advanced Diploma is as good as a Bachelor’s degree. For career choices, you can read this article and many more on this blog.

Hello Sir,
I am Kajal Kumari from Jharkhand. Currently, I am in my second year of English honors. I want to pursue Spanish as my Career. So which degree will be fit for me a diploma in Spanish Or UG in Spanish or PG in Spanish or MA in Spanish? Please suggest me the right answer. It’s a humble request from you sir.
Without prior knowledge, a Master’s in Spanish is not possible. Since you are already doing graduation, thus, you can choose a 2-year Diploma from any university. Also, you can consider any private institute to complete B2.
Hello Sir, I am currently pursuing Spanish from Instituto Cervantes, and I am at level A2. Till what level should I be qualified to look for job opportunities in embassies or work as a teacher in universities?
There is no precise competence level for Jobs in an embassy. It varies as per requirement. B2 is good enough for teaching jobs in most educational institutions, including temporary positions in Universities. For permanent employment as Assistance professor, the minimum eligibility criteria is MA in Spanish along with UGC NET in the same language.
Hello sir! I’ve done Ba (Hons) in Spanish from Du and even got a good placement in a reputed company. But I couldn’t decide between the job and MA. I’ve always wanted to pursue an MA but I’m not sure if I want to go in the teaching field in the long term goal. Can you suggest something?
Well, it all depends on your goal. If you are happy with your current job offering, continue with that. You will gain some experience too. You can also take the DELE test from B2 to C2 to enhance your Spanish ability and add more certification.
Hi. I’m a student from ba honors (Spanish) from DU. Are you from Delhi? Can you help me out? Please.
Are you asking me or someone else?
Hello Sir. I am 44 years old. I want to learn Spanish at this age. I am living in Madrid right now and will be here for more than 2 years. I want to do a job as a Spanish teacher in a school in Delhi when i come back to India. Here in Madrid, is it right to learn Spanish from Escuela Oficina de Idiomas? Is it the right school? Actually, my husband works in the Ministry of External Affairs, so he got posted here these days. I want to learn Spanish to make use of the opportunity and later wish to make a career in Spanish teaching. Your advice will be valuable. Thanks.
I’ve no idea about the aforementioned Spanish school in Madrid. But I’m sure you will find plenty of good options there. You can visit a few, then decide based on fee, location, duration, course structure, etc. Wherever you study, try to achieve at least DELE B2 (An international Spanish exam). This will help you become a Spanish teacher in Indian schools. Good Luck!
Hi. My name is Rohit. I have completed my Spanish certificate (A1-A2) and Spanish diploma(B1-B2) from Hansraj College, University of Delhi. I am looking for a decent job in this particular field. Can you suggest to me some of the top MNCs, Embassies, and any other sector for Spanish jobs? Apart from that, I am also eager to continue my Spanish study along with my job and want to continue the Advanced diploma (C1-C2). Moreover, what would be the handsome salary for an individual in such a field. Estoy Esperando tu respuesta. (waiting for your response).
Firstly, Diploma from DU is not equivalent to B2. in fact, it is not equivalent to any International Spanish exam. After the Advanced Diploma, you can try some Spanish jobs in BPO and KPO. There are hundreds of companies, and you can try various job portals. Besides, you should consider appearing for the DELE exam to gauge your level.
What are the things required for DELE? LIKE – procedure, syllabus, when to apply, merit and demerit, and more. It would be helpful if you can tell me about those things. And one more thing Should I apply to Cervantes for further Spanish (C1-C2).
You can only enroll for C1 at Cervantes if you have passed the B2 or their internal orientation test. After the Advanced Diploma from DU, you can appear for B1 or B2 as per your knowledge.
Sir, I have done my 12th standard. What else can I do other than learning Spanish?
That depends on what course you’re pursuing right now. If it is part-time, you should consider a bachelor’s program of your choice.
Hello sir, I’m Aditya and learning Russian. I am doing the A1 level. Please tell me where I should apply for the job. I stay in Delhi. Please help me out.
A1 is the beginner’s level. You should at least aim for B1 or B2 to get a job related to the Russian language.
Hola, at which DELE Spanish level can you do a freelancing job related to Spanish?
That will depend on the nature of the work. But B2 is enough for most of the work.
Can I get a job in Spanish speaking countries (like Latin America) if I complete my DELE B2 or C1?
Solely based on Spanish? Then, NO.
Which other courses should I do along with Spanish if I want a job foreign?
With so many variables and possibilities, difficult to say!
Sir, I am a 3rd-year student of B.A prog, and along with that, I am learning Spanish and currently at B1 level. I want to go for a job in the tourism sector. Where in the tourism sector I can get a job for Spanish? Also, do I need to do something extra after completing my graduation?
After the B2 level, you can try for the linguist guide. Besides, you can explore the possibilities in the hospitality industry or can pursue MBA in tourism from IITTM, Jamia, etc.
Hi Vikash,
I have learnt Spanish well enough from YouTube videos and with the help of my Latin American and Spanish friends. How do I make use of this language professionally? I am in the IT field.
Firstly, you can appear for the DELE or SIELE exam to gauge your Spanish level. Based on your competency level, you can apply to any new opening where a combination of IT and Spanish are prerequisites.
Sir, I wanted to write the DELE examination, but my City (Bangalore) is not the center for the DELE examination. It has a SIELE examination center. Sir, I can’t afford to travel to a different city just to give an exam. Should I go for SIELE? My main purpose of learning Spanish in employment opportunities.
Yes, you can certainly take the SIELE test. It is equally reputed, recognized, and accepted as DELE. There is only one small caveat – the validity is for five years, but that is pretty long for the majority of the purposes. Plus, you can take the test anytime, and gain the diploma within a few weeks. So, go ahead. You can also read an article DELE Vs. SIELE that I wrote sometime back on this blog.
Hi Vikash, I am working in a US MNC and having three years of experience in the finance domain. Now I want to learn a foreign language. So could you please suggest me which language is more beneficial for me in terms of knowledge and career.
Thanks & Regards.
You can pick one of the popular European languages like French, Spanish, or German.
Dear Sir. I am working with Key Accounts in the FMCG industry. I want to learn Spanish as I have a keen interest in it and I have a knack for Sports events/companies, especially for football. Mainly I want to know: 1) How much certification is necessary 2) What level will be the best for a career path for a lucrative salary? 3) What are the best two industries should I consider other than sports.
Warm regards
Tathagata
I’m not sure whether there are enough opportunities in India for Spanish specialist Sports enthusiasts. It is because football in India is not as popular as in Europe and Latin America. Someone who has experience in the Sports area can answer better. To become a Semi-fluent, you need more than a certificate, something like B2 or Advanced Diploma. But again, it depends on the job requirement. A majority of language jobs are in MNC and Educational institutions.
Hi sir I have passed SIELE exam with b2 and now I’m looking for a job.
I wish you the very best of luck in your job search.
Hi sir,
Currently, I am working in an mnc company, and I want to learn Spanish along with my job. I have passed my worst four years after graduation because i studied from a small town, that is why i was not familiar with the scope of learning the Spanish language. Sir, could you please suggest to me that from where i should learn Spanish for my left career.
Where you want to study? You can try Instituto Hispania. They have centers in 6 cities, including Delhi and Mumbai.
Do learning Spanish helps in doing exporting business with Spanish speaking countries?
Yes.
Respected Sir,
I am A 10+2 qualified candidate From Humanities, want to pursue an undergraduate course in a foreign language. Although, I am Confident to learn a language but confused between Spanish Or French, from India’s Context of growth. Sir, I have read your article related to the concerned languages, but still, I need your precious advice. So that I’ll be able to enroll in the program as soon as possible.
I understand your dilemma. Unfortunately, I don’t have the answer since I consider both equally valuable. That is why I have studied both languages. Maybe you can read French Vs Spanish?
Sir, I am a student of 3rd yr. I want a job that allows me to travel and pays well. So should I do my masters in travel and tourism or should I do anything else and I am also learning Spanish. Please help me.

Hello sir, I’m Sejal and learning Spanish. I have done B1 Spanish dele exam. Now, where should I apply for the job. I stay in Pune. Please help me out.
Make an outstanding Resume, create profiles on multiple jobs portals, and apply. Also, check various MNCs, BPOs, Export houses, educational Institutions that need someone with Spanish competency. Find their email or contact, and send your C.V. The job hunt is a combination of smartness, effort, and luck 🙂 Additionally, you should at least aim for B2 or C1. You can only get an entry-level job after B1.
Hello sir,
I have completed my post-graduation in commerce. I am also a certified tour manager, currently working in the tourism industry. I have completed the A2 level in Spanish. Will learning Spanish will help me to get a job on cruise ship or airlines?
Spanish can be an added benefit to your resume. However, it will be challenging to get such a job solely based on Spanish skills. Your existing academic qualification and experience will be valuable. You can contact some reputed job consultant.
Hello sir,
I have done MCom, currently working in the tourism industry. I have completed A-2 level in Spanish, will language help me to get a job on cruise or airlines?
A2 is not enough. You should consider achieving B2.

Sir, I have completed my graduation in English. Now I am a student of ba Spanish second year. Is this graduation enough for a better job or shall I continue for masters in Spanish?
Master degree is usually better. A college degree won’t guarantee you an excellent job. Your Spanish competency level, other skills, experience, and personality do matter!
Hello Sir! I’m a post graduate student from Kolkata aspiring for an MBA degree. I wish to take up a certificate course in Spanish Language and Culture from IGNOU. Can you tell me if this is going to help me from any job perspective? Also if you could help me suggest some MBA courses that will be beneficial for me after studying Spanish.
The IGNOU’s certificate in Spanish won’t help. Enroll in one of the leading Spanish centers for regular part-time classes.
Sir, I’m doing a BA in Spanish from Delhi, and I’m a final year student. Can you tell in which companies I can apply for an internship or a job with a good package?
Unfortunately, I don’t keep track of the companies due to my busy schedule. You can also send your resume to me.
Sir, I am currently pursuing B.Tech in computer science, but in my extra time, I managed to learn basic Spanish. Can this be helpful in the future? Is there any problem if I don’t have any degree in Spanish?
I’m sure it will be helpful to some extent. In the end, Knowledge matters more than degrees!
If I have to select between a degree in Spanish or the DELE Spanish exam which should I choose? And do they hold the same kind of jobs or is there any difference in it?
You can pick a BA in Spanish. You can kill two birds with one stone — Graduation and Spanish. Knowledge and from a job perspective, both are more or less the same.
Hola señor, I’m from Uttarakhand I completed my 12th in 2018 and studying Spanish since then and have completed A2 nivel. Now I’m confused should I continue with this or do the Ba honors in Spanish from some university? And is DELE C2 equal to MA Spanish for jobs?
DELE and MA in Spanish are not equivalent from an academic perspective. However, both hold similar value for jobs. You can choose between BA + MA in Spanish or Bachelor and Master degree along with part-time Spanish with an aim for DELE C2. ¡Buena suerta!
Gracias señor, but the problem is here in Uttarakhand there’s no university to do an MA in Spanish and my parents don’t want to send me far. So is it good to continue with my DELE preparation studies from my institute?
Department of Spanish studies at Doon University offers an MA in Spanish.
Sir, how to get a day shift job after a Spanish language course, because most of the companies are BPO and KPO, so how can you get a day shift job?
Most of the Jobs in BPO and KPO are indeed night-shift due to nature of the work. However, you can explore day shift work across industries. It may take some time but trust me; there are many such jobs.
Sir, I am a student of BHU and I am doing my BA in ancient history, but I want to become an interpreter and do jobs related to Spanish. So please help me as i am very confused.

Sir, I have some doubts regarding the language course. I have emailed you. Kindly look forward to my mail and help me.
Thank you.
Replied 🙂
Hello sir, my name is Alisha. I have done the B2.1 level in Spanish. Is there any work from home job in Spanish?
Yes, there is a wide array of Home-based Spanish work like translation, home tuition, content writing, voice or email support, and many more. However, to get such a job is difficult. This is usually possible after gaining some experience and references.
I have done my graduation as BSc chemistry. And I’m learning Spanish A1 level. I’m going to complete the whole course up to C2 level. What job opportunities are available for me?
I guess you haven’t read this article :). You can also read some of the articles in the Career and Jobs category.
Hello sir, I am 30 years old and I have completed my graduation in 2011 (B.A) and I want to learn Spanish. If I learn Spanish, will I get a good job in the travel sector or others any age restrictions? Please suggest as I am so much confused.
Age is no barrier to employment, work or success and 30 is a relatively young age. You can get a good job if you have the required skills and experience. If you achieve higher level of proficiency in Spanish, it will be an added advantage.
Hello sir! I am currently pursuing Company Secretary course from ICSI and learning Spanish from Instituto Hispania, Delhi. I am planning to learn till proficiency level. What else would I need to get a job in good BPO or in an embassy or in a good company. Please help.
After Diploma Pre-Superior or Diploma Superior from Instituto Hispania or DELE B2, you’ll be eligible for most of the jobs in BPOs and KPOs. Getting a job in the embassy is not that easy. You need other in-demand skills along with some experience. Plus, some contacts or references are an added advantage.
Sir I have passed my 12th exam what academic qualifications I can do to settle in Spain and also how I can learn Spanish in Indore together?
Well, “How to settle in Spain” is a vast topic that will require a long separate article for me to write. Maybe i will try in future :). I’m not aware of any good Spanish centre in Indore. You can try local classified ads to find any nearby Spanish class. Good Luck!
Hello sir, I am 19 years old and pursuing tourism and travel management. I want to settle abroad. Would learning Spanish be helpful? What are the other career opportunities I will get after learning Spanish?
That is a common myth. Spanish can help you to assimilate into the Spanish culture and day to day activities if you decide to move to any Spanish speaking countries, it doesn’t guarantee a job in the overseas job market. Other than language skills, you also need higher in-demand academic qualification, some experience and of course work permit.
Hi
I just want to inquire. Is this possible to do a diploma course in the Spanish language along with our graduation in English honors?
Yes. First, you have to enroll for a 1-year part-time Certificate in Spanish, followed by Diploma and Advanced Diploma in the 2nd and 3rd year respectively.
Sir, I wanted to ask that after attaining proficiency in Spanish language. Working hard I can get a decent job. But I wanted to know that Spanish language jobs are mostly of night shifts. And this would not be comfortable going for night shifts for girls and moreover family would also not allow us. Aren’t there any jobs for MNCs where timings would be like a normal job? So what type of other job opportunities are there sir where timings would be preferable for girls ? I’m very confused regarding this. I want to pursue this language as my career and have a keen interest also. Could you please help me.
While it is true that many Spanish related jobs especially in BPO and KPO are night shifts but not all jobs are like that. I know many who are working as a Spanish specialist in normal working hours. After B2, you can apply to any such openings in several MNCs, Indian companies, and export-houses. If you are uncertain about future prospects. Then you can add more in-demand skills along with Español.
Hello sir,
can you give me the contact number. I have many question to ask. If this possible that will be better for me.
You can mail me with your questions and contact details.
Sir, I am from Kolkata. I have completed graduation in English. I am passionate about languages. I want to learn Spanish. Will it be beneficial for me to learn Spanish now? Can you recommend a good institute in Kolkata?
It’s nice to know that you like languages :). Spanish offers plenty of employment opportunities. In Kolkata, there are many options like the University of Kolkata, RBU, Jadavpur University, Ramakrishna Mission SoL, and Cd’A Global Language Centre. Read — Spanish Language Courses in Kolkata

You can find all your answers at Foreign language jobs in embassies
Sir,
My daughter is in 12th standard. She is from Arts stream and want to pursue career in Spanish Language. What are the good institutes who offer specialization in Spanish in Pune or in Maharashtra?
If you’re looking for University courses, then you can enroll in a 3-year part-time Advanced Diploma in Spanish from Pune University or Mumbai University. Amity University in Mumbai also offers BA in Spanish (I don’t recommend though). As far as top Spanish institutes are concerned, you can try Instituto Hispania (Pune and Mumbai), SIFIL (Pune), Hispanic Horizons, and Academia De Español (Mumbai).
Hey sir I am a student of class 12th. After 12th i want to do a spanish language course. Is it in demand? Please guide me.
There is a growing demand for candidates with great Spanish language skills. After 12th, you can try BA (Hons.) in Spanish from any reputed University or you can enroll in any 3-year part-time advanced diploma from any College or any good Institute with a target of DELE C1 in next few years. !Buena suerte!
Hello, one of my friend has done one year course of Spanish language. As I heard that you have to do 3 year course or something? I am not much aware about this course so can he complete that course from where he leave that course from Delhi University? Or for DU is any entrance required to join in second year.
Yes. If he has completed Certificate course (1st year) from DU, he can continue with Diploma (2nd year) and then Advanced Diploma (3rd year). There is no entrance exam for Diploma. He can take the direct admission in the same College in June-July. Adv. Diploma is better from Job perspective.
Hi! I have done bachelor degree in journalism and mass communication and now I am planning to learn any foreign language. So pls tell me how would it help me in relation to my degree course.
Frankly speaking, it may or may not help you. The number of jobs is quite limited where the combination of J&MC and a foreign language is a prerequisite. If Spanish or for that matter any language intrigues you, then you can always learn as a hobby.
Hi,
I’m currently learning Spanish from a language school and preparing for DELE examination. I will be able to complete B2/C1 within two years. I’m also a student of English Masters. I eagerly want a career that involves writing and travelling. What should be my next possible steps?
The combination of writing and traveling is not popular in India and that is why such opportunities are rare. If you have a flair for writing, you can try your luck as a translator, blogger, content writer, or teaching Abroad as an ESL teacher. Maybe as a Freelancer.
If you want to be a Spanish translator, it will take 3-4 years to study something like MA in Spanish translation or DELE C2 and then some experience too.
Hello sir, I am 18 years old and planning to learn Spanish from Instituto Cervantes. Should i learn from there or do a degree of B.A in Spanish. What is more useful for jobs? And if i got to Spain straight after my B.A or upto level B1 will i be able to survive in Spain or do some jobs to do enough for myself and find jobs in one or two years? Please answer. i cant find answer to this doubt.
Both BA in Spanish or Cervantes courses are fine. If you join Cervantes, you still have to pursue bachelor degree in some other subject. It does not matter where you study. What matter most is how good you are in Spanish as far as job is concerned. Irrespective of your Spanish fluency, it is difficult to find a job in Spain solely on the basis of Spanish since everyone speaks Spanish there. You need some other in-demand skills.
If you planning to pursue master degree in Spain or a decent Spanish job in India, then you should aim at least DELE B2. It will take 2-3 years. ¡Buena suerte! (Good luck!)
Sir, Can I pursue UPSC or SSC or banking after ba Hons in Spanish?
Yes.
Hi sir, I speak Spanish i have 4yr experience as a Spanish resource now I want to job in embassy of any regional country of Spain. Where I can use my Spanish as well so please can you please help to find the link or any vacancy can you tell me there I can apply easily.
There are very few Spanish specialist jobs in embassies. In most cases, Skills other than Spanish is also required. You can check various Spanish-speaking country’s embassies official website or search on job portals. The number of new openings in embassies are quite limited. Recently i received two jobs in 2 embassies but both are filled now. Sometime i also post at Language Jobs
Sir I’m in my 3rd year pursuing BA prog from DU. After this I’ve decided to study Spanish from Cervantes. I wanted to know if I can only study Spanish after my graduation and fully concentrate on this field to get a good job. Will I be eligible for decent jobs in Delhi if I study from Cervantes? And how much time I’ll take to complete B2 level in Cervantes ? I want to become fluent and settle for a decent job within 2-3 years? Please help me regarding this.
Cervantes is a good choice but neither it is the only option nor studying there guarantee for success. You can definitely take Spanish as a full-time career. It will take 2-3 years to complete B2 if you put enough effort.
To tell you the truth – The number of decent Spanish jobs are quite limited. May be 20% of all the Spanish Job opening in Delhi/India. To be eligible for such jobs, you need – (i) Good fluency, (ii) Proper certification like DELE/SIELE B2/C1 or BA/MA in Spanish, (iii) Experience as a Spanish specialist, (iv) Some other skills / academic qualification, (v) Good contacts, and (vi) Your personality. At least aim for (i), (ii) (iv), (vi) since (iii) and (v) will happen over a period of time.
Thank you Sir.
So sir I’m confused what to do after graduation regarding the language? Can you please suggest how to proceed with the language course. And do I have to do post graduation in any field along with the language. Is it necessary?
Well, if you wanna learn Spanish, you should! While PG is an added advantage though not compulsory. If you only go with only Spanish, not only you have to depend on Spanish but you have to be good. According to my experience and observation, i would recommend Full-time PG course in job oriented stream along with part-time Spanish.
Hello Sir,
Foreign language like (Spanish) is fruitful or helpful in traveling industry in India and as well as in abroad? And there required any other specific/professional Tourism Management course? If yes, So How and which Institution is better in Delhi/NCR?
Thank You.
Yes. There are certain jobs in the travel, tourism and hospitality industry where knowledge of Spanish is a great value add on C.V. There are opportunities abroad too but for that, you need other skills like MBA in travel and tourism or International marketing, etc.
For Spanish Institutes, Delhi – Instituto Cervantes, Instituto Hispania, Mundo Latino, Gurgaon – Lexicos, Noida – LanguageNext.
Is there available any Post Graduation Diploma course in Tourism to get more high chances to explore in tourism sector internationally, Rather-then the MBA?
I am not the right person to advise you about career and courses other than languages. You can take your own decision after proper due diligence.
Hello sir i am a student doing bcom honours from regular du final year. Let me tell you my passion or dream or aim is to explore every and each part of world i am addicted to it please suggest me what things can help me to go ahead with my dream will spanish help me out or something else?
Unfortunately, Spanish or for that matter, any language won’t help. There are 2 options.
1) choose a career that will enable you to travel abroad. MBA in International marketing, jobs on the cruise ship, Flight Attendant, or successful freelancer are few choices.
2) Do what you want / can and try to make and save enough money to travel the world. 99% of travel lovers follow the second choice. Whatever you decide, you can always learn Spanish for plenty of reasons.
Hello Sir,
My name is Kritika I’ve done Diploma in Spanish from St. Stephens college and completed B1 level from Instituto Cervantes. Overall job experience is 2.7 yrs. Can you please suggest me the good job where I can switch with a good package and day shifts only. It will be very helpful.
Diploma or B1 is ok for entry-level job openings in call centres, kpo and bpo. If, however you’re aiming for a good job, better salary, and career growth, you should aim for B2/C1. After C1, you can apply for a number of openings in Embassies, Export Houses, in MNCs, Educational Institutions, and also as an interpreter, translator, and in Travel & Tourism sector. Good Spanish jobs are limited and ergo higher proficiency in Spanish is the prerequisite in most cases.
Hello sir, i am rajesh kenjale. Am an electrical officer in merchant navy and in brief period of time I realised I am not happy and passionate about my field. So I decided to quit. And spend some few months knowing myself. I came to conclusion that my areas of passion are. Travelling, adventures, cinematography. So learning Spanish language would be useful or not to perceive my passion as mentioned above. And sir I request please do suggest what career should I choose to which includes my following areas of interest.
Choosing the career and finding a job as per your passion is a difficult task. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful. Opportunities However are very limited in such field. Learning language probably got its reputation as easy career but that is far from the truth. The best thing to do is find a job, keep adding more skills including learning Spanish and later as per available opportunity, you can try to find a job as per passion. Good luck.
SIR, I have completed my graduation (BA PROG) in 2017 from Delhi university. From last one year i am preparing for government job exams but now i want to start learning Spanish language. My main aim behind learning this language is job. But my parents won’t allow me for night shift job. so is it possible to get day shift job after completing B1 or B2 level?
It is true that a majority of Spanish jobs are in BPO, KPO and Call centres. There are still many jobs where night-shift is not an option. However, for such kind of jobs higher fluency level like B2/C1 or prior experience or skills other than Spanish are required. Today’s job market is extremely competitive. Thus, your resume has to be good enough to find a decent job in the language market.
As a software professional having experience of 20 years, should I learn french/spanish language. What could be the career option after going through these training?
Thanks
With your vast experience, why you want to start something completely new from scratch? Changing fields is usually much more difficult than finding a new job or develop interest in the same field. After few years of study, you will only find entry level jobs due to lack of experience. Thus, i won’t advice from a career perspective. If you want to add language skills in your C.V. or want to learn as a Hobby, then it is fine.
I am not planning to change my area of expertise. I would like to remain in this field. Only purpose to learn french / Spanish language to give further boost to my career. So again, what is the prospect of french language professional in software industry?
Regards
Many IT company looking to expand the client base in Africa, or Central and South America. In addition, several IT companies send their employees to work at overseas locations in Non-English speaking countries. French or Spanish skills will be quite helpful.
There is plenty of work such as document translation, technology help desks, or requirement to speak/email or meet the clients from the non-English speaking regions. If any company has such an employee with language skills, it is a win-win for both.
Sir, I have completed my degree in an open university recognized by UGC. I did BCom general, and l decided to learn Spanish. Sir, do I have chances to get a job with a degree in distance university?
Yes.
HI! Rashmi Jain from Ludhiana, India. Kindly suggest me Sir. Is it good idea to learn Spanish as part time course because I am doing job also and career scope after learning Spanish. I want job in abroad.
Yes, you can study part-time. It is difficult to suggest anything based on limited information. Spanish can add great value to your C.V. and it is useful in plenty of sectors & industries. Don’t learn without any reason or goal. “The more you read, the more you will know about future”.
Great post. I was checking continuously this weblog and I am impressed! Very helpful information specially the last phase 🙂 I deal with such info a lot. I used to be looking for this particular information for a long time. Thanks and good luck.
Thanks David for your appreciation 🙂
Sir please guide me for best institute for spanish in Delhi, cervantes (CP) or Hispania (hauz khas)?
In Delhi, Top 3 Spanish institutes are Cervantes, Instituto Hispania, and Mundo Latino. Visit all 3 and decide as per your liking, preferences, timing & fees. Cervantes fees are on a higher side and quality-wise all 3 are good.
Awesome post. Spanish is very important in the coming years.
Agreed 🙂
Hello sir actually I have done my certificate course from hansraj College in du and now I’m doing diploma course from Stephen College and I’m in B1.1 in instituto cervantes. I want to know what should I do after my diploma course and What are the future job options in Spanish.
After Diploma, you should pursue an Advanced Diploma. You can also continue studying in Cervantes till you clear DELE B2 or C1.
According to my experience – 75% of Jobs are entry-level jobs in BPO/KPO/Service industry and 25% high-paying good jobs in Embassies, Export Houses, Educational Institutions, in MNCs, and also as an interpreter, translator, and consultant/guide in Travel & Tourism sector. Aim for high proficiency like C1, then you can try for better options. Recently, i posted a job vacancy in an embassy – JOBS
hello sir, i am pursuing my BA Eng honours and with that advance diploma course in spanish from an institute of spanish. i have completed my a1, a2 and b1, and on with b2 level. what should i do after this diploma job or i am thinking of doing MA in spanish. plz suggest me sir.
Have you completed B1 issued by Cervantes or institute own certification where you are studying? Only Cervantes is authorized to conduct DELE exam in Delhi. You can certainly pursue MA in Spanish from DU or JNU. Admission is through entrance exam. To clear the test, required knowledge is equivalent to Advanced Diploma or DELE B2. Check your Spanish knowledge through SIELE or DELE exam and not any private institute own test.
Sir, if a person has good command over Spanish language but has not appeared for DELE, is it necessary to give all exams in series (like A1 then A2.. then B1… and so on) or one can directly apply for higher level, like directly for B1 or B2?
Yes, You can sit for exam of any level and can skip A1 or A2 level and give B1 or B2 exam directly. However, It is not advisable to do so. You need to be good in all 4 parts (Speaking, Writing, Reading, and Listening as per DELE curricula) and at least 500 hours of classroom study or equivalent to get to a B2 level. So, skip only if you are sure.
Sir is it worth doing a certificate course in the Spanish language from IGNOU? Or any other Institute? I am an absolute beginner in Spanish and want to learn it.
My hobby is language learning and I have some or little grip in many Indian languages such as Gujarati, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, but none is certified. I learned all of them by myself in a very random way. Is there an opportunity for a career in different Indian languages?? Or should I try for any foreign languages? Namaskaram and Thank you very much.
Since everyone speaks Indian Languages in India. How it will be useful in the career? Of course, one can become teacher, translator, interpreter in Indian languages but for that, higher academic qualification like MA or Ph.D. in the same language is essential. Remember, Good Speaking skills and Good translation skills are two totally different things.
Since your hobby is language learning, you can definitely pursue Spanish. You should try for any private institute over IGNOU. Once you reach the higher proficiency level, you can try the 2nd one. This is what i did. 🙂
Sir,
I am presently in B1.2 in spanish from instituto cervantes.. I want to teach and also want to do translation, interpretation job but I am not at all a literature person..Is DELE C1/C2 worthy for teaching or it is necessary to do M.A. from du? Please guide me..!!
Thank you!
You can teach few school students or Beginners level Spanish but DELE B1.2 is not enough to become a Spanish teacher/lecturer/trainer in any School, University, or Corporate world. Try to complete at least B2.3 or C1. You can also try for MA in Spanish after B2 though not necessary.
To be a successful professional translator or interpreter, you need near-native proficiency in both the language (Source as well as the target language). The job, therefore, requires a high level of competence like C1/C2 or MA in Spanish.
Hi sir i have done travel and tourism diploma and i have also worked in this field for more than 6 months now i am looking for some change i am thinking to opt a language course . So can you please suggest me is it beneficial of doing language course after travel diploma and where i can find the job in these field.
You can choose between French, Spanish or German. After Completing Advanced Level, you can appear for Tourist Guides – Linguistic exam conducted by the Ministry of Tourism. With a licence, you can work across the country as a Government approved Spanish Guide.

Sir which language is better for job purpose Spanish or french plz suggest
From the career perspective, French has an edge over Spanish in India. However, on an international level – Both are equally important and offer more or less the same kind of opportunities.
Hi Sir
I really like your blog. Your work is appreciable. Presently I am TGT in. Public Sector School. Learning a foreign language is my hobby. Please guide me which language to choose so that my job doesn’t get affected. Are there any institute in Delhi which can give classes only on Sunday.
Thanks for your appreciation! While most centres do have classes on Sunday. However, it will be difficult to find any course with only the Sunday option. Maybe you can try evening batches if feasible for you. Due to limited time and career opportunities, You can choose between French, Spanish, or German.
Could you please tell me which language have more scope in travel and tourism in India. Spanish or German?
All 3 popular European languages French, Spanish, and German offer more or less similar scope and opportunities. You can choose one as per your own liking.
¡Hola señor! I have just completed my graduation in Spanish from Delhi University and I’m going for masters too but I would like to know if there are any other jobs apart from the bpo’s as I don’t want to work in that. Are there any other options?
BPO/KPO are not the only option. After MA in Spanish, you can try for Translator, Interpreter, International marketing in an export house, or as a Spanish expert in top MNCs. ¡Buena suerte!
Gracias señor! Where can I look for international marketing? It seems interesting and I’m thinking of doing MBA from distance program is it a good idea? And how much can a person earn after doing so?
Several Universities and Colleges offer such programs. Distance learning is not valued by all employers and regular courses are always better. Earning depends on various factors such as knowledge, experience, type of jobs, company, market trend, etc. There Is no One-Size-Fits-All in Career.

Hi sir
I am learning Spanish language. Me gusta Este mucho. Pero no se which career option to opt for after learning this because I don’t like working for 9-10 hours sitting in an office but I am more passionate about interacting with new people everyday. so can you pls help me out about the Spanish career except teaching. I will be really grateful.
Thanks
You will be surprised to know that a significant no. of Spanish professionals are Freelancers. As an independent freelancer, You can work as a translator, interpreter, proofreader, editor, content writer for a company, or any agency/consultant.
To do this successfully, you need near-native proficiency close to C1/C2 or MA in Spanish. There are plenty of options other than teaching.
Regarding this, I have a question that is there any side course that we can pursue while continuing the Spanish language that helps us for our resume.
You can pursue various part-time or degree courses to enhance your career prospects. The choice, of course, is subjective and depends on your existing background and career goals.

Spanish is not the only thing required for Jobs in embassies or consulates. There are various of kind of jobs and most are of administrative nature. HR, Accountant, Customer support, IT, MBA in International relation are some of the requirement. Knowledge of Spanish is an advantage and there are few vacancies for Spanish experts too and minimum requirement is DELE B2/C1.
Is advanced diploma in Spanish from du is equivalent to BA (H) in Spanish from du?
NO. 4-Year BA (Hons.) is a Full-time degree course whereas Advanced Diploma is part-time Diploma course. If you’re doing Advanced Diploma, you still need a degree course prerequisite for MA and also for most jobs. If you’re pursuing Bachelor course or already completed, then Advanced Diploma is right thing to do. Knowledge wise – Practical difference is not significant.
Thank you Sir for this amazing blog. I have completed my masters in Chemistry, but I don’t really see any scope in it before I do my PhD. On the other hand, I also have interest towards learning Spanish on the professional level. So, should I change my field from chemistry to Spanish or stick to chemistry?
You have already spent enough time in the field of Chemistry. My suggestion would be to continue the same and learn Spanish as a part-time. You don’t need to quit any job or existing course to study Spanish. In future, as per interest level and career opportunity, you can choose one.

The choice of language is quite subjective. If you don’t have any specific language in mind, you can consider Spanish. Read — Language institutes in Gurgaon.
Hello sir,
I’m studying Spanish from Instituto Cervantes and I plan to complete all levels (till C2). Is the C2 level comparable to the MA courses in India or should I think of doing MA as well after my C2 from Cervantes? (If I want a good job at the embassies or at Cervantes itself, India or abroad).
After C2, you will be eligible to apply for 95% jobs, including embassies or cervantes or abroad. However, it is not equivalent to MA. DELE is more about Spanish language skills whereas MA is a degree course and primarily focus on culture, civilization, history, literature and only some part is related to Advanced language. While MA is not compulsory from career perspective, You can appear for the MA entrance exam after completing B2. !Buena suerte!

Hello Sir,
Could you please recommend some good language schools in gurgaon for Spanish & German. Thankyou
For Spanish, you can try Lexicos (Sector 51, Gurugram). I’ve not visited that centre, so cannot confirm about the quality. In Delhi, Cervantes, Instituto Hispania and Mundo Latino are 3 best. For German, I did not find any quality institute in Gurgaon. While little far away but you should consider Goethe-Institut – Max Mueller Bhavan. It is the best for German classes.
Thanks for guidance.
Please give Institute teaches Spanish as per DELE for C1 and C2 in Bangalore. Hope now after completing B2 level from Mysore University. can try Spanish related jobs in India later after BCom degree completion. In Specific to get jobs at Spain at present level what is the next step to be of DELE specification for my daughter. Please guide. With Warm Regards
For Bangalore – You can try Instituto Hispania (Koramangala) or IFLAC (Basavangudi). I am not sure whether Mysore University B2 level is equivalent of DELE B2. You can contact these 3 centres and decide accordingly.

sir i wanted to know that job opportunities are more in french or in spanish. which one is more in demand in india french or spanish in future.
Between two, French is better though it is a little overcrowded and difficult compared to Spanish.
My Daughter will be completing B 2 level in Mysore University during October 2018. She is studying B Com 1 year now. Sir, for C 1 and C 2 level suggestion for study. Please guide
Mysore University offers Diplomas in Spanish, Level – A1, A2, B1, B2. However, these levels are as per University curricula and not as per Spanish Gov. approved DELE. She can try an MA in Spanish from any reputed University like EFLU Hyderabad, JNU, DU, Bangalore University, Pune University, etc.
All these Universities have an MA in Spanish. For C1, C2 as per DELE – There are several good institutes but only in Metros like Delhi/NCR, Mumbai, Bangalore, etc.
I m in now my last year i take english literature for major what foreign language should I choose which is good for my career & job purpose also spanish or japanese. I am confused about language please guide me about this
While there are plenty of good reasons to learn another language. There is no best or better one. It depends on various factors. If you just want to enhance your career prospects, then Both Spanish and Japanese are good options.
The average length of time to learn advanced Japanese is 3-4 years whereas 2 years for Spanish provided that you study 10-15 hours per week. I’d suggest reading a few articles and take your own decision.

Please sir what is the best way to speak full fluent Spanish in a year. Plz give me idea
Fully fluent means completing the level of C2 (DELE) / equivalent to near-Native. One year is too short term to become fluent. Generally, it will take 3-5 years to reach the goal provided that you spend 10-20 hours per week.
If you follow the full immersion route (Listening Music, Watching Movies, Reading everything, Speaking with those who already know Spanish, etc. all only in Spanish, then you can achieve the excellent proficiency in less time say 2 years. This is true for 99% of students though 1% of exceptional super-intelligent do exist.

Hello sir….
I have read almost all articles in this blog and others in internet but confused yet which one between french and Spanish to choose for my BA. Is Spanish and french same in terms of jobs as translator, interpreter, foreign service and others. How much time it will take to become a freelancer translator or interpreter.
Yes, as i said earlier in the comment section – Both French and Spanish are good from a career prospective though French has more opportunities than Spanish.
To be a successful professional translator or Interpreter, you need near-native proficiency in both the language (Source as well as the target language). While one can become a translator/Interpreter in 4-5 years. However to become successful and specialist in various fields like Financial, Legal, Medical, Technical and Literary, it will take several years close to a decade. One can make good money by working part-time / Freelancing but only if you study French or Spanish for at least 5 years. If you want to become Interpreter or Translator, Complete C2 or MA in French/Spanish.
Hello sir…. I am getting ready to do my BA in one of foreign languages but confused which one to learn….My main concern is its demand abroad as i would like to pursue my MA in one of foreign countries…..Which one will provide me more freelancing and part time job opportunities in India…Which one is more in demand
A similar question already answered in this article.
Hi sir.
Is there any career opportunities for Italian and Portuguese languages in India as I would like to study Both after completing my Spanish. Is there any learning centers for Both. Is it or learning french is useful.
Every language including French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian offer Job opportunity in various sectors. All are useful and important. You can learn multiple languages provided that you have passion, interest, and time.
To become fluent in one language, it will take 3-5 years provided that you study 10-12 hours per week. To learn 3-4 foreign languages, it will take 10-15 years. Without a practical approach and strong desire, it will be extremely difficult. Learning a language is a lifetime investment. Choose one and learn it properly. Once done, think about second. It will be more beneficial.
Hello sir. Of the French and Spanish which will give me easy access to other foreign languages in demand. And of the french and Spanish which one you will suggest to me to learn first. Between French and Spanish which one I can be fluent in within one year.
Which will provide me more part-time work opportunities in India. Which will be more in demand in the coming years. Which is the easiest regarding writing, pronunciation, and speaking?
To become fluent (equivalent to C1/C2) in any language including French or Spanish, it will take 3-5 years. Both language will good for future though French has an edge over Spanish. Spanish is easier than French.
Hello sir,

Which language from french and Spanish provides more part time and freelancing opportunities in India..
Which one has more demand abroad…..
Both European languages are popular and offer a varied range of job and career opportunities. Between these two, French is better and offer more Freelance opportunity than Spanish. French is one of the most taught languages in the world after English. Whatever you choose, you won’t regret it.
