Our first lesson will contain:

1. Finding your needs and objectives. I will send you a questionnaire before our lesson and we will spend the first minutes of our lesson discussing your answer and defining how can I best help you.
2. We will do a couple of activities to give you a good idea of how our lessons will be like.
3. We go over any questions, doubts or concerns you may have.

¡Nos vemos en clase!

ℹ️ This course starts from scratch and it's perfect if you don't know any Spanish at all. If you know some basics we can also start a couple of units ahead. It'll provide you with a solid foundation of the most important skills, grammar and vocabulary of Spanish.

📖 Solid methodology
We follow a project-based approach, where the goal of each unit is to be able to perform certain real-life communication tasks, and throughout the activities we present the vocabulary and grammar necessary to successfully perform that task.

Grammar is presented in context, in meaning situations and with an inductive approach. You'll also learn the proper pronunciation, cultural knowledge and effective learning strategies.

🧘🏻 Everything in one place, not all over the place.
Don't be overwhelmed using 3 different books, 6 apps, 3 podcast and 5 YouTube channels. With this course, you'll get access to an online platform where you'll find video lessons, interactive activities, flashcards, audios, summary sheets and more! Everything in one place.

🔎 Assessments
We want to make sure you have a constant sense of progress. Aside from the homework, at the end of every unit you'll perform a Mastery check to ensure the objectives have been met. On top of that, we'll do a speaking assessment every three units.

🤜🏻🤛🏻 Commitment: 2 lessons / week + 4-6 hours of self study.
⏰ Duration: 40 lessons, around 4 months.
