: Unlike most people, I didn't study Spanish in High School. Now, I need Spanish to communicate with customers in Latin America. Is there a certain country or city where it is better for beginners to study? What about safety?I have studied Spanish in several countries and I have travelled throughtout Central America, South America, and Mexico. I have never had any problems anywhere.In my opinion, the degree of safety is the result of the behavior of each student. I have known students that have been robbed and beaten - but they were trying to buy drugs from the locals. Other students have been mugged returning to their hotel after drinking all night. Many female students have had problems with local men that hang out in the local bars.Again, the degree of safety is related to the precautions taken, or not taken, by each student.
