Frequently asked questions

Will this help me develop marketing campaigns for Hispanic audiences?

Conversational Spanish is essential for understanding Hispanic audiences, but you'll still need cultural expertise and possibly native speakers for campaign development. Our classes give you the language foundation to communicate with Spanish-speaking teams, understand consumer insights, and evaluate marketing materials with basic comprehension.

Do you teach marketing-specific vocabulary in Spanish?

We teach conversational Spanish. Marketing and advertising vocabulary can be learned more easily once you have conversational fluency. Many marketing professionals supplement with industry-specific resources and work with native speakers for campaign-specific language.

How important is cultural understanding versus just language skills?

Both are crucial. Our instructors come from various Spanish-speaking countries and expose you to cultural differences naturally during classes. Language fluency helps you understand cultural nuances, but developing marketing for Hispanic audiences requires deep cultural knowledge beyond language alone.

Can I learn enough Spanish to review copy and campaign materials?

With intermediate Spanish proficiency (typically 12-24 months of study), you'll be able to understand the basic meaning of Spanish copy and materials. However, for professional review of marketing campaigns, native speaker insight is still essential for catching cultural nuances and ensuring effectiveness.

Since it had been over 20 years since I had taken Spanish, I needed to be able to start back at the beginning. This is a genuine beginner class, and it's been a great learning experience! To start, the class is being taught by a native speaker - which makes a HUGE difference. From being able to say what is formal, to what's ACTUALLY said in day to day (and how it may differ from country to country!), and hearing the correct pronunciation - that aspect is a game changer. REALLY looking forward to testing out what I've learned in the real world!

This has been a great introductory course to Spanish. It is fast paced, but the live classes force you to think on your feet and have conversations which is great. I'm really enjoying it and learning a lot. The homework reinforces what I learn.

This was exactly what I was looking for. My learning style is well supported by this classroom model and group process. Most Spanish lessons I found seem to be one-on-one tutors, which doesn't feel as helpful to me as a beginner yet. I appreciate the pacing and homework to keep practicing throughout the week.

Beginners Spanish has been a very good class overall. It helps to introduce students to the basics of Spanish. It is also a good baseline to prepare students who are interested in taking more complex levels later on. The textbook content also provides topics that are relevant to students daily lives, such as food, activities, places, etc.

The level I choose has NOTHING to do with our teacher (Claudia). She is doing a wonderful job. I wouldn't even say that the level I gave has to do with the material that the course uses. This level more reflects on the difficulty of teaching an on-line course and what I'd hope to get from the class. I even think part of it is that teachers are probably instructed to NOT encourage students to improve pronunciation, when (even to my untrained ears) I can hear that myself and other students ARE NOT pronouncing words correctly. Then you have students that clearly are not studying every week so the class moves along so slowly, which for me was frustrating. Not to mention the first to weeks of this 10 week course, we had a different teacher and it was confusing how she taught. The on-line class information was hard to follow, how courses, classes, assignments and things were linked was not clear and it was tough finding stuff on line.
