Frequently asked questions
I need to negotiate with suppliers in Latin America. Will this help?
Yes. Conversational fluency is the foundation for business negotiations in any language. Once you can speak Spanish conversationally, you'll be able to discuss terms, coordinate logistics, and build relationships with suppliers and partners. Business relationships in Spanish-speaking countries often depend heavily on personal connection.
Do you teach import/export or logistics vocabulary?
We teach conversational Spanish. The specialized vocabulary for shipping, customs, logistics, and international trade can be learned more easily once you have conversational fluency. Many import/export professionals supplement with industry glossaries.
How long before I can conduct business in Spanish?
For basic business conversations, most students need 10-15 months of study. For negotiation and more complex business discussions, plan for 12-24 months to reach intermediate proficiency. The timeline depends on your starting level and study consistency.
Will I learn about business culture in Spanish-speaking countries?
Yes! Our instructors come from various Spanish-speaking countries and naturally expose you to cultural differences during classes. Understanding business culture is essential for success in Spanish-speaking markets, and language learning is the first step toward cultural competence.
