Whether you are just starting or you have been learning Spanish before I can help you develop your Spanish skills so you can communicate with people that speak Spanish from every Spanish speaking country. Do not keep waiting.đ
I like to adapting my study plan depending on the needs of the student.
Did you know that 21 countries in the world have Spanish as an official language and 31 as an unofficial one? That means that if you learn Spanish you will speak the language that 15% of the countries on the world speak.
Don't forget to book a lesson so we can start working on your Spanish skills together. đ

I have experience teaching different kinds of students from kids to adults in both online and classroom settings (more than 3000 lessons online + 3 years of classroom setting experience). I have been implementing a combination of the Flipped classroom and communicative approach into the lessons and so far, I have seen great improvement in my students' ability to communicate. My focus is to make you speak NATURAL and EVERYDAY Spanish, and understand Spanish speakers thanks to a system and a 30' routine.

đĽAction programme (B1-B2 LEVEL): we'll learn Spanish language and culture together thanks to the famous series called "AQUĂ NO HAY QUIEN VIVA". If you're an intermediate student this programme will specifically enhance your listening skills and will improve your performance in everyday situations so that you can connect effectively with locals.

ÂĄHola! đ I'm the cheerful Mexican teacher you've been looking for to learn Spanish!Â
My name is Karim and I hold a degree in Foreign Languages and a certificate as a Language Teacher from the University of Cambridge.

Generally, I'm a dynamic, joyful, and patient teacher, so there's no problem if you're a beginner and 'ÂĄHola, amigo!' is the only phrase you tell your Hispanic friend; or if you're intermediate and you'd like to improve your level to travel or study abroad.

Hola!
My name is Samuel and I live in Madrid. In 2013 I got my Spanish teacher Certificate and since then I have been teaching Spanish in many language schools -in person and the last two years mainly online due to the pandemic. I have also taught group classes and individual one to one classes in companies. I have also helped many students to pass DELE exams.
I have a Philosophy Degree as well from Universidad Complutense. Madrid. I also really love to talk about a wide range of topics. I enjoy listening and learning from my students. Everyone has interesting things to say. With me, you will be talking about things you like without noticing you are doing it in Spanish.
I can share with you many books, videos, infographics, newspaper articles etc in pdf format so that we have always fresh and juicy material to discuss. These last ones are a fantastic complement because sometimes the standard books for learning might be designed âwhat is fine- for generic purposes. Pdf files are included in the price.
I have taught students from every corner of the world and from very different backgrounds. I love learning from my students while I am teaching them.
I speak very fluent English so even if your knowledge of Spanish is 0 donât be afraid. You will always be comfortable in my classes. I am also learning French so I havenât forgotten how does it feel to be a beginner ;)
I hope to see you soon!
ÂĄNos vemos!

Hi, student! Are you beginner in Spanish? Intermediate? Or maybe you are already advanced? Â I'll tell you how I can help you depending on your current level.
-Beginners: I love working with beginners! I will adapt to your pace and your learning style. We will work on the basics of Spanish and, without realizing it, you will learn about the feared Spanish grammar :)
-Intermediate: excellent! Let's talk and continue developing your skills. I will always give you feedback and explain the grammatical content to continue advancing.
-Advanced: let's have conversations about everything! News, music, culture... Whatever you want! We will improve what is necessary.
A little about me...
- I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
- I have been a Spanish teacher for years, I love my job.
- I love music, I am a singer.
- I consider that education is the fundamental solution to improve the world, that is why I dedicate myself to teaching.
What characterize me?
1) I personalize the classes to your needs and personal goals with the language.
2) I prepare and provide all your study materials and practical exercises (presentations PPT, audio and video files, news articles and homework).
3) I combine reading, listening and speaking excercises so you can learn and practice all the four different skills.
4) I like including cultural content (about my country and about Latin America).
5) Plus: if you are interested in Argentine Spanish (from Buenos Aires) I can show you the characteristics of "voseo" and its conjugations. In addition, we can focus the classes on the Argentine accent and its special pronunciations.
I invite you to schedule your trial class with me so you can tell me about your motivations, objectives and experiences (if any) with Spanish.

If you find yourself thinking...

If thatâs how you feel, I can change that. Hereâs how I know:
- I hold a BA degree in Translation Studies from Valencia University and a MA degree in Legal Translation (University of Alicante). I have also a postgraduate certificate in Modern Foreign Languages Teaching from Canterbury Christ Church University. Apart from my university degrees, I hold certificates in teaching Spanish as a foreign language and in professional proofreading from European University of Madrid. And if that is not enough for you I am also an examiner for the Cervantes Institute, and that means that I Â know perfectly how DELE exam works ;).

Hello everyone! My name is Dionisio. I have been teaching Spanish since 2008 with students from all over the world. I also have experience teaching my language and culture in other countries such as the United States. Â
My classes are dynamic and communicative so that from the first moment you can find a space of confidence to express yourself in Spanish. After knowing your interests and your level of Spanish, I adapt my classes to your learning needs. Generally, I like to organize the session around a grammar point, or a vocabulary topic that helps us to structure the class, and helps you to memorize its content. I like to include different resources in my classes such as conversation on different topics, internet articles, grammar worksheets, audios, videos and kahoots that will help you develop your skills to learn Spanish in a real context. I love teaching and learning languages, and in addition to English and Spanish, I speak French and Catalan.
A little bit more about me: although I was born and raised in Zaragoza (Spain), I developed my professional career in Barcelona. Currently, I live on a small island in the Mediterranean Sea. In addition to teaching Spanish, I am passionate about theater and writing, activities to which I also dedicate myself professionally as a stage director, playwright and teacher.
See Reviews From StudentsIf you prefer in-person learning over online classes, LanguaTalk might not be the best fit for your needs. For local classes, you can search through community boards or local service listing websites. However, we encourage you to explore the convenience and effectiveness of online classes. You can start with a free trial session to experience the benefits first-hand, such as access to a broader range of experienced teachers and potentially lower costs.
Whilst not always the case, Spanish classes in Red Deer are typically more expensive than online learning options. This is due to the costs associated with using a classroom, as well as travel time and expenses for teachers. Online classes, on the other hand, eliminate these overheads. Additionally, online instructors often live in countries with lower living costs, which can further reduce the price of online classes.
While some teachers on LanguaTalk may offer in-person conversational classes in their local area, the majority specialize in online teaching. This approach is more convenient for them, allowing flexibility and the comfort of working from home. Most teachers are not based in Red Deer and are spread across the globe, so if you're looking for a class with LanguaTalk, you should anticipate an online learning experience.
Many students initially have reservations about participating in online Spanish classes, thinking the experience will be vastly different from in-person classes. However, they often discover that online classes can be just as engaging and effective. In an online Spanish class, youâll interact with your teacher and classmates as if you were all in the same room. The teacher may share resources (like articles or videos) and will collaborate with you in real-time using tools like Google Docs or Dropbox Paper, ensuring an interactive learning environment. The biggest benefit is convenience: there is no need to travel, and you can book lessons for when it suits you.
The beauty of taking lessons online is that you can learn anytime, anywhere. When you choose a tutor, just check their calendar to make sure that they have available times that fit your schedule. Some tutor have limited availability as they already have a lot of students.

Trial sessions last 30 minutes. They allow you to assess whether the tutor is a good fit for you, and get a feel for learning online. The tutor will assess your level and aim to understand your needs and interests so that they can customise any lessons you decide to take. You'll be encouraged to speak in Spanish as much as possible, but of course you can speak in English too!

The vast majority of students take 55-minute lessons. But some tutors also provide the option of 30-minute lessons. If they do, youâll see this noted on their profile (below their pricing and above the âBuy Lessonsâ button).
55-minute lessons are recommended for most students. In general, we only suggest considering 30-minute lessons if theyâre for your child, or you have an intermediate level and only want conversation practice.
Lessons are taught 1-on-1 so that you receive your tutorâs full attention and can make fast progress. Communicating via video call, youâll be able to talk to your tutor and share learning materials as if you were in the same room.
