0:32:29 > 0:32:31My job is selling language holidays abroad.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34I deal mainly with the ones in Latin America.
0:32:34 > 0:32:38I use Spanish in my job - it's mostly telephone and email-based -
0:32:38 > 0:32:42so if I talk to one of our schools in Spain or in Latin America,
0:32:42 > 0:32:44then usually I like to speak to them in Spanish.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47It helps our working relationship.
0:32:47 > 0:32:49HE SPEAKS IN SPANISH
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Then, sometimes, I have to speak Spanish,
0:32:56 > 0:32:57because, we get clients who

0:33:01 > 0:33:04so all the telephone conversations we might need,

0:33:17 > 0:33:20But I've only really first used it in a meaningful way
0:33:20 > 0:33:22when I went backpacking in Venezuela.
0:33:22 > 0:33:24HE SPEAKS IN SPANISH
0:33:32 > 0:33:37There are some places where people just don't speak any English at all.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40If you make an effort to speak somebody else's language,
0:33:40 > 0:33:43it makes a difference, and makes people helpful
0:33:43 > 0:33:46towards you, and makes you get more out of the experience.
0:33:46 > 0:33:51That experience in Venezuela of backpacking made me wanna go back to South America,
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Later, I did a volunteer placement in Peru,
0:33:53 > 0:33:58and ended up staying there for rather longer than I expected, because I met my wife there.
0:33:58 > 0:34:00That obviously improved my Spanish a lot,
0:34:00 > 0:34:05and just made me fit into Peruvian life a lot better than I would have done
0:34:05 > 0:34:08if I hadn't spoken any Spanish at all.
0:34:12 > 0:34:14Alex doesn't just deal with making bookings,
0:34:14 > 0:34:17he often meets with clients who have specific needs,
0:34:17 > 0:34:21so he can create a unique programme just for them.
0:34:23 > 0:34:27We also provide language training for businesses in the UK.
0:34:27 > 0:34:31So, for example, if a business wants to teach Spanish
0:34:31 > 0:34:32to some of its staff,
0:34:32 > 0:34:36then we can provide that kind of language training.
0:34:36 > 0:34:39Komedia is a live-entertainment venue, here in Brighton.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46It was founded from a love of physical theatre in Europe.
0:34:46 > 0:34:49Physical theatre, music and comedy, I should say.
0:34:53 > 0:34:58Even though we're a theatre, we still need to use an amazing range of foreign languages,
0:34:58 > 0:35:03especially Spanish. Obviously the programming has such a wide diversity of artists,
0:35:03 > 0:35:07we need to have Spanish as part of our skills here, day-to-day.
0:35:10 > 0:35:15I come to speak to you about what you need in terms of the language training
0:35:15 > 0:35:16we're going to provide.
0:35:16 > 0:35:19What are the levels of Spanish that people have got?

0:35:23 > 0:35:25I don't have any Spanish.
0:35:25 > 0:35:27I'd have to start from the beginning.
0:35:27 > 0:35:32What kind of things are you going to need to be able to say in Spanish?
0:35:32 > 0:35:36- Where should we focus? - Well, I deal with publicity,
0:35:36 > 0:35:39so I will need to know things like, "Posters, flyers."
0:35:39 > 0:35:43OK. And how about yourself?
0:35:43 > 0:35:48Yeah, I book all the accommodation for the visiting artists,
0:35:48 > 0:35:51so all kinds of vocabulary to do with hotels.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53And, Chris, what about yourself?
0:35:53 > 0:35:57As press, I'll be speaking directly to the agents as well,
0:35:57 > 0:36:01- to organise interviews, photo shoots, so on, so forth.- Mmm.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05So is there anything else? Any other kinds of vocabulary you might need?
0:36:05 > 0:36:10We do have quite a lot of Spanish bands and performers that come here
0:36:10 > 0:36:13and therefore, bring with them a Spanish audience.
0:36:13 > 0:36:18So it'd be good to have dialogue, or questions we could relate to them with.
0:36:20 > 0:36:24So, working for a language school can be very different and exciting.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26And who knows where it might take you.
0:36:37 > 0:36:40Millions of people visit the UK every year from all over the world.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44And this is what they come to see.
0:36:46 > 0:36:50And maybe one or two of them might pop into the Britain and London Visitor Centre,
0:36:50 > 0:36:54where they might be helped by Charlotte.

0:37:14 > 0:37:18My name's Charlotte Fraser. I work for Visit Britain,
0:37:18 > 0:37:22which is an organisation that looks to attract visitors
0:37:22 > 0:37:23from foreign countries,
0:37:23 > 0:37:26get them to visit various different attractions.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30We look to give information.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33We also assist with the buying of transport tickets,
0:37:33 > 0:37:36accommodation, booking theatre tickets.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38BOTH SPEAK IN SPANISH
0:37:51 > 0:37:54Well, Spanish is very important to me, here in the workplace.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56I use it every single day that I'm here.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00Basically, we get a lot of people, a lot of tourists, who come in from Spain,
0:38:00 > 0:38:06from Latin America, and they may speak English, but they feel more comfortable
0:38:06 > 0:38:08speaking their own language,
0:38:08 > 0:38:11especially with things like knowing they're buying the right ticket,
0:38:11 > 0:38:14knowing they're going in the right direction.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16ALL SPEAK IN SPANISH
0:38:23 > 0:38:25That's a little bit expensive for them.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27SHE SPEAKS IN SPANISH
0:38:27 > 0:38:29I learnt Spanish at university.
0:38:29 > 0:38:31It was a four-year course,
0:38:31 > 0:38:36with third year spent abroad, so I spent six months in Argentina.
0:38:37 > 0:38:41Spanish is used a lot now, especially between businesses.
0:38:41 > 0:38:46We have businessmen coming over from Spain, wanting to do business with the UK,
0:38:46 > 0:38:51so learning languages, and having someone who can speak Spanish is very important.
0:38:51 > 0:38:55But it's not only in the front offices of Visit Britain
0:38:55 > 0:38:57that Spanish is a useful skill.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59It also comes in handy behind the scenes.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03SHE SPEAKS SPANISH
0:39:05 > 0:39:08I'm Lindsey, and I work for Visit Britain.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17My job is in the international press office,
0:39:17 > 0:39:20so I work with journalists from Spain, from Canada,
0:39:20 > 0:39:21from Australia,
0:39:21 > 0:39:24and work with them to write about Britain,
0:39:24 > 0:39:28so help organise their visit, help give them story angles.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32SHE SPEAKS SPANISH
0:39:32 > 0:39:34PERSON ON PHONE SPEAKS SPANISH
0:39:38 > 0:39:39So, Maria's just called.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43And she wants some ideas for a journalist, Gemma,
0:39:43 > 0:39:45who's coming over next month.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48I'm looking for something a bit different, unseen.
0:39:48 > 0:39:50Jewellery going on at the moment,
0:39:50 > 0:39:53- which is just kind of a jewellery festival.- OK.
0:39:53 > 0:39:57- Then there's the Chola, which is more Indian.- The bronze thing.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59There's this new hidden art,
0:39:59 > 0:40:01it's basically open studios.
0:40:01 > 0:40:04You can actually go and visit artist's studios
0:40:04 > 0:40:06and get involved and see what they're doing -
0:40:06 > 0:40:09sculpture, ceramics, painting.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12I can see Maria really going for that, actually.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16THEY SPEAK SPANISH
0:40:24 > 0:40:28I was lucky as a child. My parents would take me abroad on holiday.
0:40:28 > 0:40:34I created a passion for languages at the age of nine or ten
0:40:34 > 0:40:39and then decided that I wanted to continue those, so I studied languages at university.
0:40:39 > 0:40:44I use my Spanish quite a lot now. If we've got a Spanish journalist coming to do a feature on London,
0:40:44 > 0:40:47I meet them, show them around, maybe take them out for dinner.
0:40:47 > 0:40:52Anybody can do the job with your PR skills, but just having languages,
0:40:52 > 0:40:55for me, just adds another dimension to it.
0:40:55 > 0:40:58THEY SPEAK SPANISH
0:41:18 > 0:41:20So, this is the art production space.
0:41:20 > 0:41:24Rich makes his not about audiences, it's about participants.
0:41:24 > 0:41:27We don't bring art to the building and show people art,
0:41:27 > 0:41:29we get people involved in making it.
0:41:29 > 0:41:31How does it work?
0:41:31 > 0:41:35There's a twelve channel sound-system inside the bed,
0:41:35 > 0:41:39so it's an instrument and you just take off your shoes and step in
0:41:39 > 0:41:43and the music spins and vibrates and moves all around you.
0:41:43 > 0:41:47LOW DRONING RUMBLE
0:41:54 > 0:41:58OK, so here we are in the largest of our three cinemas.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01One of the reasons that we opened cinemas
0:42:01 > 0:42:04was because it's a good way of bringing people into the building.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07We hope that they might come to see a James Bond film
0:42:07 > 0:42:11but go away having signed up to create some art themselves.
0:42:13 > 0:42:18They've been designed to reflect the culture that exists in the area,
0:42:18 > 0:42:22so you've got the fabric trade, which is a big employer in the area,
0:42:22 > 0:42:26and you've got the influence of Asian culture as well.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28THEY SPEAK SPANISH
0:42:51 > 0:42:56Even though it may not be necessary to speak Spanish at work,
0:42:56 > 0:43:01it really helps to create a good relationship between two different cultures when working together.
0:43:08 > 0:43:12If your passion is passion is books, then this might be the job for you.
0:43:12 > 0:43:16From the latest Jamie Oliver to Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code to picture books,
0:43:16 > 0:43:212 billion, 295 million books are sold every year world-wide.
0:43:25 > 0:43:29Over 250 million Harry Potter books alone have been sold,
0:43:29 > 0:43:34distributed in over 200 countries and translated into 61 languages.
0:43:34 > 0:43:38Publishers know that a good story will always translate well.

0:44:27 > 0:44:30I'm Senior Rights Manager for Random House Children's Books
0:44:30 > 0:44:32and I negotiate with foreign publishers
0:44:32 > 0:44:35for them to translate print
0:44:35 > 0:44:39and publish their editions in their own languages.
0:44:39 > 0:44:43Random House is one of the largest children's publishers
0:44:43 > 0:44:46of picture books and fiction.
0:44:46 > 0:44:48We have offices all over the world.
0:44:48 > 0:44:55Our authors include Terry Pratchett, Roald Dahl, Jacqueline Wilson, Philip Pullman...
0:44:57 > 0:44:58THEY SPEAK SPANISH
0:45:05 > 0:45:09It is useful to have Spanish or any language in publishing.
0:45:13 > 0:45:17I'm not using my Spanish on a daily basis
0:45:17 > 0:45:20but it is required from time to time...
0:45:25 > 0:45:27..for speaking on the phone...
0:45:33 > 0:45:39..or checking translations for books to see that they've been produced properly.
0:45:45 > 0:45:48Spanish has been very useful in my career.
0:45:48 > 0:45:51It's enabled me to work in a field that I really enjoy.
0:45:51 > 0:45:55I don't see myself moving from what I'm doing
0:45:55 > 0:46:01and look forward to continuing working in translation rights in the future.
0:46:01 > 0:46:05But it's not only English books that get translated.
0:46:05 > 0:46:09Many of the books you read may have originally been written in a foreign language,
0:46:09 > 0:46:12like Like Water For Chocolate,
0:46:12 > 0:46:16and it's Jane's job to bring those books to the English reader.
0:46:16 > 0:46:18SHE SPEAKS SPANISH
0:46:29 > 0:46:36My job is to meet lots of agents who will send me their manuscripts.
0:46:36 > 0:46:41I read them and the ones that I think are books that people in the street will want to read,
0:46:41 > 0:46:43I acquire and I edit them.
0:46:43 > 0:46:46I choose a cover with the art director,
0:46:46 > 0:46:49then the sales department send it to all the book shops -
0:46:49 > 0:46:51Waterstone's, WH Smiths...
0:46:53 > 0:46:56What I do is, in fact, very competitive,
0:46:56 > 0:47:00so by speaking Spanish, I was able to do something that not a lot of other people could do.
0:47:00 > 0:47:02It became a bit of a niche.
0:47:02 > 0:47:05When the Spanish publishers realised I could speak Spanish,
0:47:05 > 0:47:07they began to send me their best books.
0:47:07 > 0:47:14I acquired the UK rights and one of our earliest books was Like Water For Chocolate, by Laura Esquivel,
0:47:14 > 0:47:17which has been a phenomenal best-seller and a film.
0:47:17 > 0:47:22About six months ago I bought a book called La Catedral Del Mar,
0:47:22 > 0:47:27The Cathedral Of The Sea, which is a phenomenal best-seller in Spain
0:47:27 > 0:47:33and I bought UK rights and we hope to see it all over the book shops here in about 12 months time,
0:47:33 > 0:47:35when it's been translated.
0:47:35 > 0:47:39Well, Spanish has helped very much to get me where I am now.
0:47:39 > 0:47:46I want to be able to buy the best from agents, find the best new writers.
0:47:46 > 0:47:51Particularly in Spanish and any of the countries from South America
0:47:51 > 0:47:54and see people on the tube reading them.
0:47:54 > 0:47:59Every editor's dream is to see their book being read by everybody and winning the Booker Prize.
0:48:05 > 0:48:08Did you know that in a corner of this very English market,
0:48:08 > 0:48:11you can find a taste of Spain?
0:48:13 > 0:48:17Now, when you think of Spanish food, what do you think of?
0:48:17 > 0:48:19Tortillas and paella?
0:48:20 > 0:48:23Well, there's a lot more to Spanish food than that.
0:48:26 > 0:48:29Spain specialises in olive oil, ham,
0:48:29 > 0:48:34wine and it's the biggest exporter of fresh fruit and vegetables.
0:48:34 > 0:48:38But you don't have to fly out to Spain to buy them.
0:48:38 > 0:48:42You can buy them right here at Brindisa.
0:48:42 > 0:48:47We import speciality products and we distribute them around the country
0:48:47 > 0:48:51to delicatessens, food halls, supermarkets and wholesalers.
0:48:51 > 0:48:55We've also got two shops where we sell to the public directly.
0:48:55 > 0:48:59We also have a tapas bar where we can serve the food on a plate to the public.

0:49:29 > 0:49:33and I also co-ordinate all the marketing.
0:49:33 > 0:49:36My job can involve meetings, preparation of documents,

0:50:04 > 0:50:07Brindisa is rooted in a love of Spain and Spanish.
0:50:09 > 0:50:12The Managing Director studied Spanish and lived in Spain.
0:50:12 > 0:50:16When she came back she wanted a job where she could use her Spanish
0:50:16 > 0:50:22so she set up the company and she realised there was a potential demand for Spanish food in England
0:50:22 > 0:50:26and started to bring over all these foods which are now quite familiar.
0:50:26 > 0:50:28SHE SPEAKS SPANISH
0:50:36 > 0:50:40Spanish has been really useful to me in this job. I need it every day

0:52:12 > 0:52:14what's in the containers.
0:52:14 > 0:52:16Spanish has been great for me here because
0:52:16 > 0:52:19we get a huge number of Spanish customers and I can speak to them.
0:52:19 > 0:52:23Spanish is useful for me because I can read the cheese's labels
0:52:23 > 0:52:26and then I can advise the customers or recommend something similar.
0:52:26 > 0:52:28I find it useful for the Spanish,
0:52:28 > 0:52:30to translate the menu to the customers.
0:52:30 > 0:52:35So, no matter how much or how little Spanish you know

0:53:30 > 0:53:32on the national curriculum.
0:53:32 > 0:53:37But many children were bored and not motivated to do the language.
