Real Academia Española

La Real Academia Española se fundó en 1713 por iniciativa de Juan Manuel Fernández Pacheco, marqués de Villena. Felipe V aprobó su constitución el 3 de octubre de 1714 y la colocó bajo su "amparo y Real Protección". La institución ha ido adaptando sus funciones a los tiempos que le ha tocado vivir. Actualmente, y según lo establecido por el artículo primero de sus Estatutos, la Academia «tiene como misión principal velar porque los cambios que experimente la Lengua Española en su constante adaptación a las necesidades de sus hablantes no quiebren la esencial unidad que mantiene en todo el ámbito hispánico».

Internet Resources for Spanish

Have you ever noticed that when you talk to someone about studying a foreign language, they invariably pop out that old piece of wisdom, "If you want to really learn another language, you have to go to the country where it's spoken." Well, the best way to learn to dive is to become a Navy SEAL, but for most of us, that's not necessarily the most convenient way to go about it! The Language Warehouse offers the same exact courses produced by the U.S. Government, but at a fraction of the price. As a matter of fact, you will find nobody, anywhere, who offers the "bang for the buck" that The Language Warehouse offers. Wherever we can, we offer links from our course to the U.S. Government page so that you can compare your savings.
