Frequently asked questions

I need to conduct interviews and explain benefits. Will this help?

Yes. Once you have conversational fluency, you'll be able to conduct interviews, explain benefits, discuss policies, and handle employee relations in Spanish. The grammar-based foundation we provide lets you communicate clearly about any HR topic, even if you occasionally need to look up specific terminology.

Do you teach HR-specific vocabulary and terminology?

We teach conversational Spanish through grammar and sentence-building. The specialized vocabulary for benefits, policies, employment law, and HR procedures can be learned more easily once you have this conversational foundation. Many HR professionals supplement with industry glossaries.

How quickly can I start communicating with Spanish-speaking employees?

Most students can handle basic workplace conversations within 10-15 months of consistent study. This allows you to communicate with Spanish-speaking employees about basic HR matters, with more complex discussions developing as you progress to intermediate proficiency.

Will this help me create a more inclusive workplace?

Absolutely. When HR professionals speak Spanish, Spanish-speaking employees feel more supported and included. You'll be able to communicate directly about important workplace matters, ensuring all employees have equal access to HR services and information.

I like the teacher's learning style. Very hands on and pushes you out of your comfort zone. Not many people in each class so it gives you multiple opportunities to practice and think on the spot. Highly recommend!

This beginners class has been fast paced and covers so much. My teacher, Gloria, is the best.

I completed week 6 of the beginner's course yesterday and I am very much enjoying it. My husband and I have been visiting Spain for a month for the last two years and I wanted to try to learn Spanish so that I can speak to people in shops and restaurants, etc. The content of this course is perfect for me and the way we have been building on grammar is making the learning easier. The homework tasks are essential for consolidating the learning. Our tutor, Luana, is very knowledgeable and she keeps our lessons interesting and fun. I have already recommended the course to others.

I took the placement test and qualified for Level two but I opted to start with Level one. I felt I needed to reinforce some skills. This is an amazing class that has helped me to develop my Spanish. All the teachers are so good at teaching. I’ve had to reschedule many times during the week and it’s so easy to do that. I’m 6 weeks into it and look forward to the next 4 classes. Great classes!

The Beginners Spanish class covered so much material! It is more than worth its value. The instructor was very knowledgeable and professional. She went over the homework diligently (yes, there is homework!) and gave ample opportunities to ask questions during the class. I would highly recommend the class! I am already looking forward to taking the next class!

I’ve found this beginner’s Spanish course to be really helpful. The level is ideal for complete beginners. I’d been using Duolingo for about a year beforehand, and I’ve found this course to be a great complement to that learning. The topics covered are relevant to everyday situations, and the classes are taught at a pace that’s easy for everyone to follow. There’s also a relaxed, supportive atmosphere where you’re free to make mistakes and learn without feeling under pressure. I’d happily recommend this course to anyone looking to start learning Spanish.

The class has helped me learn a fair amount of Spanish already and I’m six lessons in. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is that I would like to see additional conversational learning, as well. My Spanish teacher has been patient and supportive. Five stars for her!

Very thorough course covers everything you need to build a sting foundation to build upon, only marked it one lees star as I think for people who really have no knowledge of Spanish prior to taking the class it could be overwhelming as there is a lot to remember… I think my tutor Rolando González is great!

Lessons started promptly every week. Nelson our tutor, was excellent and very patient with us. He is obviously a very experienced tutor and explained everything very clearly. He used humour to relax us during lessons which was great. Communication from the company was excellent with weekly email reminders of our lessons (with links to join online) and homework emails also. The course came with 10 units of resources to follow and these were very comprehensive teaching us the basics of grammar, verb endings and vocabulary. The lessons were just right and challenged me enough. It was also nice to ‘meet’ other learners from across the globe during lessons. All in all, the course is excellent value for money for a grounding of the basics of the Spanish language 👍🏻

I am over halfway through the course and am finding the learning style of the teacher very pragmatic and helpful. The socratic style of the classes also keeps you on your toes and gets you speaking a lot of Spanish throughout each class. Teacher is friendly and it's clear he has a passion for the language and for people learning it correctly. The homework is also helpful.

For absolute beginners, this covered a lot of ground. My wife and I both took the course and got a lot out of it. We had a great professor who grew up in Spain, which was perfect for us.
