SPANISH ONLINE LESSONS

Did you know that Spanish is spoken natively in more than 20 countries in Latin America and Europe? If you plan to do business with them, visit family or even sit for an international exam in Spanish, we can help! Reach out to us at Listen & Learn and we will tell you more about our personalised online Spanish lessons.

What you will learn with us

Our courses are designed by professional, native-speaking tutors who will consider your level of proficiency and preferences when planning your lessons. For instance, you can choose, if you want, to listen to songs by great artists, like Shakira or Alejandro Sanz, or to learn by watching TV series, like La casa de papel or Elite. Either way, you won’t just memorise long lists of words or repeat phrases from old textbooks! Those who are just starting out will learn some basic phrases and vocabulary, like greetings and requests, so you can start to hold basic conversations from the very first class.

Learn the dialect you need

You can also choose the regional variety of Spanish you would like to learn. For instance, a t-shirt is called “remera” in Argentina, “playera” in Mexico and “camiseta” in Spain. Quite the difference, right? Don’t worry, your tutor will target your learning journey, so you acquire the vocabulary most relevant to your goals. And if you wish to acquire a more “general” Spanish, that’s also possible: your syllabus will be designed for you to acquire the skills to be understood wherever you go. Contact us today to get started!

Como Agua para Chocolate - Laura Esquivel
Reading a novel will certainly be more interesting than a glossy textbook, and it will help accelerate your learning by providing you with rich vocabulary. Thus, a novel like “Como Agua para Chocolate”, for example, will greatly appeal, especially if you would like to know more about one of the most important aspects of Mexican culture: its food. Each chapter is titled for a month of the year and starts with a Mexican recipe, like tacos or burritos. This is a coming-of-age story that follows Tita, a woman who wants to become independent from her traditional family. Read this novel if you’re looking for a story of love and self-discovery while learning a lot of Spanish! Read more about the book here!
