Make sure to set yourself some realistic goals for your language learning journey. Keep in mind that you will not always have an easy class, sometimes you will need to put more effort into understanding one topic over another. It will take some time for you to understand the language and be able to speak it, so you mustn’t put too much pressure on yourself to become fluent in the language in an unrealistic time frame. If you want to pick up the language quicker, be prepared to listen and read before you feel entirely comfortable speaking and writing in Spanish. By absorbing the language passively, you will be able to start communicating in a more fluid manner.

What is a Spanish course?

A Spanish course is a structured program for people who want to learn the Spanish language. The various lessons that make up the course will teach you vocabulary, pronunciation and grammar rules and help you develop your reading, writing, speaking and listening skills, so you can eventually become fluent in Spanish.

Lingoda’s Spanish course is taught by qualified, native-level Spanish speakers and is based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Learners are divided into multiple levels (A1, A2, B1, B2) based on ability level. A1 represents absolute beginner level, while B2 is the upper-intermediate level.

If you’re unsure of your current language level, you can take our free placement test to find out.

What do you learn in a Spanish course?

Here at Lingoda, our Spanish language course is carefully structured, based on CEFR guidelines, to ensure students can enjoy a logical progression route. Our course is currently broken down into four sub-sections:

Spanish A1: Teaches basic words and phrases and how to use them to put together simple sentences.
Spanish A2: Teaches how to have simple interactions and understand frequently used expressions.
Spanish B1: Teaches everyday conversations and how to deal with the common situations encountered while traveling.
Spanish B2: Teaches how to interact with spontaneity and understand the main ideas from complex Spanish texts.

You can choose between group classes and private 1-to-1 lessons and will develop an ever-increasing vocabulary. You’ll also learn correct pronunciation, regional variations of Spanish, and the rules behind Spanish sentence structure.

How long does a Spanish course take?

It’s estimated that working proficiency in Spanish can be achieved in around 650 to 750 hours of study, starting from a place of zero knowledge. If you study for an hour a day, you’ll likely take up to two years to become fluent, but if you increase this to two hours a day, it’s possible to achieve fluency within a year.

However, the amount of time it takes to complete a Spanish language course will depend on your starting point, the languages you already know, the level of commitment you have to learning and the amount of time you’re able to invest in independent study. With Lingoda, you can progress from absolute beginner level to the CEFR B2 level.

It should be noted that for English speakers, Spanish is generally regarded as one of the easier languages to acquire.

How much does a Spanish course cost?

The Lingoda pricing model takes into account the number of recurring classes you sign up for, with a commitment to more classes resulting in a greater discount. The price will also vary depending on whether you choose group sessions or 1-1 private lessons.

We also offer a free trial, allowing you to try our classes before you commit to a subscription, with no obligation to continue.
