Our Beginner Latin American Spanish course introduces you to the fundamentals of the language in a clear, structured, and practical way. Classes run once a week for 2 hours over 12 weeks (or twice a week for 1.5 hours over 8 weeks in the Intensive format), and learners complete 1.5–2 hours of weekly self-study at home to consolidate what they’ve learned. The programme is designed for complete beginners or learners with very limited previous exposure to Spanish.

We work with a modern textbook complemented by curated cultural content from across Latin America. Lessons combine essential grammar, communication practice, pronunciation, and cultural insights that help you understand not only how Spanish works, but how it is lived across different regions.
