About Instituto Cervantes

The Instituto Cervantes, founded in 1991 by the Spanish government to facilitate a better understanding of Spanish and Latin American culture, offers online classes that build fluency and increase familiarity with the diverse Spanish-speaking world. Their language tutorials range from introductory lessons to advanced literature courses, which immerse fluent speakers in notable Spanish texts and let authorial ghosts reminisce on how awesome their writing was. The Instituto Cervantes also hosts regular cultural events, such as Hispanophone movies, concerts, and art displays.
