How to learn Spanish

There are many different ways in which you can learn Spanish. You just have to choose the right method to suit your personal needs. Some methods can be combined to optimise and accelerate your learning.

Here are just some of the ways in which you can learn Spanish:

• In school. UK students usually start taking Spanish lessons when they start secondary school. The learning process can sometimes be quite slow, so for those who want to achieve fluency quickly, it's recommended that you combine school lessons with Spanish lessons with a private tutor.
• In a language school. The UK is home to many language schools or tuition centres where you can take group language classes or private language tuition. If you’re not sure which option works best for you, you can take a combination of group lessons and private lessons so that you can reap the benefits from both.
• An intensive language course in a Spanish-speaking country. Many Spanish-speaking countries offer intensive language courses for foreigners or expats who want to learn Spanish. These courses generally last from at least 1 week up to several months and some even include accommodation and extra activities. Learning Spanish abroad is a great way to immerse yourself in the language as you get to experience the culture and practise your language skills with locals.
• Learn Spanish by yourself. It is possible nowadays to learn Spanish by yourself and in your own time, thanks to the many language-learning resources, websites and applications available. However, if you want to progress in a language quickly, this is not the most recommended option as you can often fall into bad habits or find you lose motivation when things become difficult. It's recommended that you combine the use of these learning resources with another method, such as private tuition.
• Find a private Spanish tutor. This is one of the best ways you can learn a language as tutors for Spanish can customise the lessons according to your specific needs and goals.

What are the benefits of learning Spanish?

If you´re thinking about learning a language, why not consider Spanish? As the second most spoken language in the world, Spanish lessons are becoming increasingly popular. 

1. There are 20 countries in the world where Spanish is the main language spoken, therefore increasing your prospects for travel or career opportunities when you learn Spanish.
2. Nowadays, employers favour those who speak an additional language, meaning you can improve your career prospects by speaking Spanish.
3. Learning a language can improve your brain function and your memory. 
4. Finally, by learning a second language, you can develop your understanding of your first language. Aspects of language or grammar that we may not have considered while learning our first language suddenly begin to make sense.

Tutors for GCSE Spanish

If you´re currently studying GCSE Spanish, you may be wondering whether you would benefit from finding Spanish lessons with a tutor. In most cases, students reap the rewards from working with a tutor for Spanish.

If you´re wondering what a Spanish tutor can do for you, we´ve listed some of the main benefits below:

• They can help you increase your skills and understanding of Spanish at a pace that suits you. In busy classrooms, some students struggle to keep up and may feel anxiety around expressing doubts or asking questions in front of large numbers of students. With a private tutor, students are more likely to express themselves and increase their confidence in Spanish.
• They can help you practise your speaking skills and listening skills. Your private tutor will likely be a native Spanish speaker or someone who is highly skilled in the language, meaning you have more opportunities to practise everyday conversation with them, something which can benefit you for your Spanish oral examinations.
• They can help you create a study timetable. By understanding your weak points and strong points, a tutor can help you build a study schedule, prioritising the areas of Spanish where you need the most work, so that you can approach your exams well prepared.
• Finally, your Spanish tutor can provide you with tips and tricks on how to approach your exams. Many students struggle with time management so your tutor can go over past papers with you to show you how you can effectively manage the time you have in your exams.

What you need for online Spanish lessons

If you want to take lessons with an online Spanish tutor, there are a number of resources you´ll need:

1. A device that has a working microphone and webcam. 
2. A reliable and fast internet connection which won't cause many disruptions to your lessons.
3. Access to a video calling platform such as Google Meets or Zoom where you can carry out lessons with your tutor.
4. A quiet room or area in your home where you can do your private Spanish lessons.

Your chosen tutor should also have access to the same resources so that you can avoid disruptions during your classes. When you find an online tutor that you think you like, you can always ask them for a trial lesson so that you can see how they are as a tutor, clear up any doubts, and check that their connection is also stable.
