Learning the Spanish Language is Vital
In our day, knowing more than one language is important and knowing Spanish is vital. Spanish is becoming more and more popular in English speaking countries, especially the U.S. Knowing Spanish has so many benefits: it gives you a competitive edge in the job market (I have met countless qualified people who didn’t get the job because they couldn’t speak Spanish), gives you the opportunity to be more cultured, travel to 22morecountries and speak their language, open up opportunities that didn’t exist before, and so much more. It might even spice up your life by marrying a latino or latina, like I did :-)
Content and Overview
This course contains over 60lectures and 4hours of videowith updated and added content added regularly. I've designed a simple step by step process which anyone can follow. It’s designed for the beginner and will take you to an intermediate level of Spanish where you’ll be conversational. (I’m in the process of creating the Advanced Spanish course that you’ll be able to graduate to if you desire to take your Spanish to another level.)
I didn’t learn Spanish until I was 20 yrs old and couldn’t speak a lick of it before then (well, I could count to 10 like most everyone else but that was it.) Because I didn’t grow up bilingual like most Spanish teachers did, I’m able to simplify the learning process for you and give you that perspective that others simply can’t because I’ve been in your shoes.
In this course, you will first learn “half the battle” of being fluent in Spanish and that is pronunciation. No matter how well you learn vocabulary, phrases, grammar, etc. if you can’t pronounce the words right you won’t be understood. Thus, pronunciation being half the battle.
Then you’ll learn basic meet and greet vocabulary and phrases. Memorization is important to learning Spanish but as you progress through the course you’ll learn why you’re saying what you’re saying and will be able to use those principles with any word or verb and in this way you’ll learn to be yourself in Spanish. Also, as part of your vocabulary building you will learn over 100 words in Spanish that you didn’t know you already knew!
Next, you’ll begin to learn simple parts of speech and how they work in Spanish. This is where you’ll begin to understand why you say what you say in Spanish. Vocabulary and quizzes are spread throughout the course to keep you constantly learning new words and phrases and to test your growing knowledge of the language.
You’ll then learn situational Spanish ie. Spanish in the home, at the airport, hotel, car rental, getting directions, buying and paying for stuff, at the restaurant, etc.
And finally, you’ll really start to hone your parts of speech skills as you continue through the last section of the course as the lessons will clarify many pitfalls for English speakers. Many frequently asked questions will be cleared up in this section. For instance, “para” and “por” both mean “for” how are they used differently? or “saber” and “conocer” both mean “to know” how and when do I use each?
By the end of this course you will feel comfortable to speak and carry on conversation with any Spanish speaker and even travel to any Spanish speaking country with confidence that you’ll be able to get around without any problems. I look forward to seeing youon the inside!
