Deisson is very comfortable to learn with. I wanted to practice speaking and listening since I haven't spoken Spanish for years. Deisson always kindly corrects me when I say something wrong and makes recommendations, overall, he structures the lesson in a way that keeps me talking without much effort. I recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their Spanish language skills.

Rosa has always been very patient and encouraging. She has given me a lot of opportunities to read and speak in Spanish during class. I just finished A1 with Pablo and started A2 recently! I feel like I can already expressed myself with basic Spanish, e.g. what have I done today/ at work/ what I want to do in weekends etc.

Conversational Spanish and Essential Vocabulary
Conversational Spanish and vocabulary that's essential in real life — with Language.online, you'll start speaking Spanish from your very first lesson! Immerse yourself in the language environment and learn popular Spanish phrases through an intensive learning method.
It's well known that one of the ways to learn a foreign language is constantly expanding your vocabulary with new words. And the most effective way to memorize them is through phrases. This way, you remember not just individual words but entire speech constructions, which significantly simplifies sentence building during communication.
Using popular phrases can make speech rich and diverse – mastering them creates a sense of fluent communication in Spanish.
The Difference Between Fluent and Conversational Language
First, let's clarify some things. Do you want to know how to speak Spanish fluently or how to speak conversational Spanish? Many students aim to have casual conversations on any topic, to understand others and be understood.
The concept of being "fluent" is vague. Linguists disagree on what it means to be fluent. If you're thinking about native-level fluency, you'll need to master between 20,000 and 40,000 words, and as you can see, the difference is quite significant.
According to experts, if you want to have a simple conversation, you'll need about 3,000 words.
Many people are bilingual or multilingual, and their proficiency levels in different languages vary. Nevertheless, they can communicate freely in all of them and easily travel the world.
How Many Words Do You Need to Know to Understand Conversational Spanish?
Spanish is one of the most beautiful languages in the world, and its beauty lies in its words. It's estimated that Spanish consists of 250,000 words, and the largest Spanish dictionary includes over 100,000 words. This number of words might seem enormous and even intimidating to someone starting to learn Spanish, but we have good news: you only need to know approximately 5% of the total number of words to speak Spanish fluently.
This means you only need 5,000 of the most common Spanish words to be able to speak Spanish fluently.
It's very encouraging that knowing just 100 words will help you understand half the words in an article or book written in Spanish. Learn 1,000 of the most common words, and you'll be able to understand 75% of Spanish text.
Plus, each new word will help you understand the meaning of approximately 125 words you haven't even encountered before. Thus, knowing 1,000 words will help you understand the meaning of 125,000 Spanish words. Not so scary anymore, right?
Dancing with Words: The Path to Spanish Fluency
Imagine learning Spanish is like flamenco dancing. At first, the movements seem clumsy, the rhythm eludes you, and the passion remains somewhere backstage. But gradually, step by step, your body begins to feel the music, and your soul opens up in the dance. The same happens with language: at first, you stumble over words, get confused with tenses, but then Spanish begins to flow through you like a warm Mediterranean breeze.
Immersion in the Language's Music
Spanish isn't just a set of rules and words; it's an entire symphony of sounds, stories, and emotions. To learn to speak freely, you need to let this music penetrate your daily life. Let Spanish songs play while you cook paella, and let Latin American series become your evening companions.
The Art of Thinking in Spanish
The most important step toward free speech is learning to think in Spanish. Start small: name objects around you in Spanish, make mental shopping lists, talk to yourself. Let your inner monologue gradually transition to melodious Spanish.

Overcoming the Language Barrier
Remember that the language barrier is just a wall of fears that you've built yourself. Behind it lies a beautiful world of new opportunities and discoveries. Don't be afraid to break it down! Every time you dare to speak Spanish, this wall becomes thinner.
Celebrate Small Victories
Celebrate each success: your first conversation with a native Spanish speaker, your first movie understood without subtitles, your first joke in Spanish that made someone laugh. These moments are precious gems in the crown of your language mastery.
Remember that language fluency isn't an endpoint but an exciting journey. Enjoy every step, celebrate every new word, and let Spanish become not just a means of communication but a new way to see and feel the world.
After all, speaking Spanish isn't just about conveying information; it's the ability to express your soul through one of the most beautiful languages in the world. ¡Adelante! Forward, to new horizons!

Questions and answers
Why is it important to learn Spanish?
There are currently approximately 580 million Spanish speakers worldwide; that's 7.6% of the world's population. In fact, Spanish is the second most widely spoken language in the world and the third most widely used language on the Internet after English and Chinese.
How long does it take to learn Spanish?
It takes the average person between 575 and 600 hours to get from zero to fluent Spanish. Fluency is difficult to determine because everyone progresses at different rates and there are many contributing factors.
Why are the exclamation points and question marks inverted in Spanish?
The inverted question mark was adopted around 1754, when the Royal Academy recommended the use of this symbol to indicate the beginning of a question in written Spanish, such as "¿Cuántos años tienes?" The institution also ordered the same system of inverted symbols for exclamatory expressions using the symbols "¡" and "!"
Does Spanish have dialects?
Spanish spoken in Spain is different from Spanish in Argentina. Spanish is quite varied when it comes to spoken form, varying to different degrees from one country to another, especially in pronunciation and vocabulary. Variations exist not only between European Spanish and Spanish in the Americas, but also in many different dialects of Spain and Latin America.
What is DELE?
DELE is an official document certifying the degree of competence and knowledge of Spanish, issued by the Instituto Cervantes on behalf of the Spanish Ministry of Education. It corresponds to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and ranges from A1 (Beginner) to C2 (Proficiency).
