In 1492 Antonio de Nebrija published in Salamanca the first Grammar of the Castilian language, which included an appendix to teach Spanish to inhabitants of new lands. Since then, the University has worked diligently to maintain this ancient effort to extend Spanish all over the world.

In the summer of 1929, the University established the Chair of Spanish Language for foreigners. Publicist and writer Dr. Garcia Boiza was named Chair and was tasked to document the history of the Castilian language.

The matriculation for two months was 30 pesetas; housing in modest hotels cost between five and eight pesetas, and in the most luxurious, between ten and fifteenpesetas.

For those first courses, eleven students were present; six British, two French, one Japanese, one American and one German.
