¡Hola! Hello and welcome to 3 Minute Spanish :-)
3 Minute Spanish is a collection of online lessons that helps the complete beginner learn to speak Spanish in simple, bite-sized chunks.
The lessons start off by giving you a few words that you can use to build your own sentences. For example, in lesson one, you'll learn these words and phrases:
bueno - good
es - it is
fantástico - fantastic
aquí - here
muy - very
no es - it isn't
With those words, you can build sentences like these:
It's good.
It's fantastic here.
It's very good here.
It isn't good here.
It isn't good; it's fantastic!
(See if you can translate those five sentences above into Spanish just by using those words and phrases.)
The lessons continuously build on what you've been learning, enabling you to express yourself fluently in Spanish. As you move through the course, you'll pick up new vocabulary, useful grammar points and interesting ways to look at the structure of the Spanish language that will give you plenty of "Aha!" moments.
The reason it's called "3 Minute Spanish" is because the lessons are broken down into very short, three-minute chunks. Everybody, no matter how busy you are, has time to fit in a single three-minute lesson once a day, and in fact, by keeping learning to such short chunks, you'll reap huge benefits. Short but consistent daily lessons are more effective than a longer lesson once or twice a week, because you'll find you maintain enthusiasm, develop a learning habit and you'll also memorise everything much better.
If you've never learnt Spanish before, or if you have had a bad experience with learning this beautiful language, the 3 Minute Spanish lessons will help you to succeed.
Gracias :-)
