  • When you hear people speaking Spanish, you think they speak very fast and you don't understand anything or almost nothing of what they say.
  • You don't know any Spanish, you recently started studying it or you studied it a long time ago and you haven't put it into practice since then.
  • You would like to be able to communicate in Spanish because you live or travel a lot to places where Spanish is spoken, for work, studying or just because you love the language.

Why to choose this course?

Because the first step to learn any discipline or skill is to build a solid foundation on which to add more knowledge and difficulty progressively.

`Since retiring last year, I moved to Lanzarote and thought it is important to try and mix with local Spanish people. I went to a couple of classes with another teacher, but sharing 1 hour a week with 4 other students did not give me what I was looking for, not to mention the expense. I found Ana's website. This works for me, as I download the audio, as I work through the modules onto my laptop and my phone. This means, when I am out cycling or just sitting have a coffee enjoying the view I can listen to my Spanish Audio. The lessons can also be downloaded so I can print them and keep them in an orderly file. The audios are clear and the explanations of verbs etc are very clear. For example: a friend of mine who attends a weekly course told me she was stressing over the verb "to go" and found it difficult. I explained it the way Ana explains it and my friends said "is that it???".I signed up for Curso Básico. The amount in these modules is amazing. Much more than any other courses I have attempted. Because it is online and accessible anywhere. Plus I can do this at my own pace. Don't get me wrong I still have to put the study in, if I am too busy to study I simply go back a couple of modules to refresh my memory. I would recommend this course to anyone whether they are in a hurry or just want to go at their own speed´.

FAQs:

 

IN WHAT LANGUAGE ARE THE COURSE MATERIALS?

In this course the explanations are in English. The instructions for the exercises are in English and Spanish. As we progress through the course we use less English and more Spanish.

WHAT IS THE COURSE DURATION?

The course is designed so that you can do it at your own pace. Either way, my recommendation is to be consistent. If you do one lesson a week you can finish the course in less than three months. But remember that short, frequent sessions are more effective than a five-hour marathon every ten days. You will have support from the teacher for 1 year.
