Spanish is the official language of 22 countries and the third-most used language on the Internet, so it makes sense to learn it today. Although many may think this a difficult endeavour (Spanish and English don’t even belong to the same linguistic branch), acquiring the language is actually quite simple. When it comes to grammar, besides a couple of word order exceptions (adjective before noun in English and noun before adjective in Spanish), sentences in both languages use the same basic structure (subject-verb-object). Furthermore, English has hundreds of Spanish borrowings (do words like burrito, plaza or mosquito ring a bell?), making it easier for you to incorporate new vocabulary.
If this sounds interesting and you’d like to learn more, contact us at Listen & Learn today and our native-speaking tutors will begin planning lessons that are challenging, fun and engaging. They’ll even teach you handy tips to help you grasp the language faster than ever. For example, in English, you need to learn how to properly place the apostrophe for the genitive case. This isn’t the case in Spanish; to specify belonging in Spanish, they use the preposition “de” to connect the possession to its owner. So, “my mother’s jacket,” becomes “la chaqueta de mi mamá”, and so translates literally to “the jacket of my mother”.
And if you are looking for opportunities to put your Spanish into use, you’ll be happy to know you will find plenty of places to do so in Melbourne. With more than 5,000 people who speak Spanish in the city, you’ll always find language exchange groups to join, like the Melbourne Spanish Exchange Meetup.
Get in touch with Listen & Learn today and to start your dynamic, interactive Spanish lessons! Soon you’ll be able to use unique Spanish terms, like vergüenza ajena (feeling embarrassed for someone even if he/she doesn’t feel embarrassed him/herself), like a pro.
This set of Spanish tutorials are less specific and more targeted for those who want to get a range of different things from learning Spanish. Even though all novice students will cover survival Spanish: as well as Spanish to visit somewhere abroad to make solid contacts with the locals, what do you do from there? It depends on your needs. Those who have benefited from these lessons have been those moving or investing overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people who love to travel all over the world, those interested in Spanish culture and those who just want to pass a specific examination in Spanish.

These Spanish lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn Spanish to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette. Once you have become more proficient, then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with imports and exports, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even in our most rudimentary lesson for beginnners, students can expect to finish with decent telephone and e-mail Spanish, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country where the language is spoken.

Two or more people can benefit from studying Spanish together as these Spanish lessons are also offered to groups (Two-to-One Spanish Lessons or Small Group In-Company Spanish Lessons). Every student must have the same degree of knowledge of the language, the same business or language needs and the ability to study at the same time and place as everybody else. The booking has to be made for all students at the same time.
