Spanish courses
How this differs from a language app
Apps teach you to recognise words but rarely explain why a sentence works the way it does. This course explains the reasoning behind every rule so you can build new sentences yourself instead of recalling memorised ones.
How the course runs
Each lesson is an 8–15 minute video with a PDF summary and exercises with answer keys. At three lessons a week you will finish in roughly eight weeks.
