🤷 How long does it take to learn Spanish?
Some people brag about their natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Spanish will require at least 600 hours of study. The required duration of time can differ a lot depending on your current level of Spanish or knowledge of other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, try to communicate with native speakers to speak with, try additional ways to think and speak in Spanish out loud. If this is not easy you can also take conversational Spanish classes online.
🤳 Can I pick my own Spanish coach?
In language centers, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from the ones who already work there). Online, certainly!

Online, you can take as few as one lesson a year, as many as several a day - and as many (or as few) as you want during any time of day, on weekdays and/or weekends.
