Questions about beginners
Is Spanish hard for English speakers?
Spanish is one of the easier languages for English speakers: it's spelled the way it sounds and shares thousands of words with English.
How long until I can have a basic conversation?
With a weekly lesson and a little practice, most beginners can handle simple everyday conversations within a few months.
Should I do a group class or a tutor as a beginner?
Group classes are cheaper per hour; a tutor moves at your pace and gets you speaking far more in each lesson. Many beginners start one-to-one to build confidence.
