Carmen is a wonderful person and a great teacher. She divides the class into segments, each one has a specific topic. Carmen explains everything clearly and in details. I enjoy learning, and every time I get a lot of new knowledge. My level of Spanish has improved dramatically in three months of studying.

Jose made my first Spanish class interesting and fun. The whole class we talked and at the same time, he taught me expressions and idioms. I learned new words and phrases using comparisons if I couldn't understand. I liked that Jose is patient and explains everything in an accessible way. I look forward to the next lesson!

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.

Learn Spanish alone - easy?
Learning Spanish from scratch without a teacher is a challenging but entirely achievable task. If you decide to give it a try, we’ll share useful resources and highlight common mistakes to avoid.
Advantages - Learn Spanish alone
The biggest advantage of learning Spanish independently is that you can do it for free or keep expenses low by purchasing only a textbook, subscribing to educational resources, or taking an online course. Nowadays, there are plenty of opportunities to learn Spanish online: apps, educational videos, and beginner-friendly podcasts. You can study at your own pace, meaning your progress, motivation, and efficiency depend solely on you.
However, many people say that learning with a teacher is easier than mastering Spanish on your own. A good teacher helps you understand the structure of the language, corrects mistakes, and provides high-quality supplementary materials. For some, this also serves as extra motivation and an opportunity to practice speaking with a native speaker.
Where to Start When Learning Spanish?
Certain factors can make self-learning easier. For example, if you already know another Romance language (such as Italian, French, or Portuguese), Spanish grammar will feel familiar. English can also be helpful—not just because many Spanish words are similar to English ones, but also because most online dictionaries work better with English than with Ukrainian or Russian.
Learning Spanish is an exciting journey that requires patience and dedication. But if you’re ready to take on the challenge, we’ll help make the process easier for you.
How to Learn Spanish Effectively?
-
Understand the logic of the language. Spanish has its own unique pronunciation and grammar rules. For instance, nouns are either masculine or feminine—there’s no neutral gender. Some letters have multiple pronunciation variations, and verbs change their endings based on the subject and tense. Start with the present tense and take your time before moving on to more complex structures.
-
Move from simple to complex. Don’t overwhelm yourself. Trying to learn 100 words a day or immediately diving into difficult texts is not the best strategy. Master basic rules, practice building simple sentences, and ensure you fully grasp one topic before moving on to the next.
-
Surround yourself with Spanish. Incorporate Spanish into your daily life beyond just studying the language. Listen to Spanish music, watch films, explore the culture, history, and traditions of Spanish-speaking countries. The more exposure you get, the easier and more enjoyable learning will become.
-
Don’t be afraid to speak. Even if you only know a few phrases, use them! Start with simple expressions like "hello," "how are you?" and "thank you." Then gradually move on to longer sentences about the weather, friends, or hobbies. If you don’t have anyone to practice with, talk to yourself, narrate your day in Spanish, or even speak to your pet. The key is to keep speaking!
Learning Spanish on your own requires discipline, but with the right approach, you can achieve great results. Start small, enjoy the process, and don’t be afraid of mistakes—they are the stepping stones to progress!

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).
