About Cuba

Cuba, an island nation in the Caribbean, has a distinctive culture shaped by its music, dance and colourful cities. Musical styles such as son, rumba and danzón have influenced Latin music around the world. Spanish is spoken across the island, and the Cuban accent, with its fast rhythm and unique expressions, is both challenging and rewarding for a language learner.

Cuba's General Spanish programme is in the capital, Havana. The squares and pastel-coloured buildings of UNESCO-listed Old Havana, live music drifting through the streets and the Malecón seafront turn the city into something like an open-air museum. For anyone who wants to learn the language surrounded by music, dance and art, Havana is a memorable choice.
