      I've been teaching languages for 12 years I started this job not intentionally, but I immediately liked it, because I find it stimulating and inspiring, besides of being useful to others. I consider it the perfect mix!
      Besides, I've lived and worked in Spain several times, and that allowed me (besides from my university degree) to refine my knowledge of the Spanish language.

    Maria is a fantastic Spanish teacher. I was very new to the Spanish language, and Maria was very patient and helpful. I always look forward to my lessons with Maria. Maria is flexible and is always on time for every lesson. I couldn't wish for a better second language teacher.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How to learn Spanish in Irvine, CA and what are my options in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study with recorded courses, you have a few principal opportunities for learning Spanish interactively in Irvine, CA. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, read about centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are a little more affordable.) Your other option can be local specialized language academies that are better priced and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, international learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Fourth, you can opt for a private Spanish tutor in Irvine, CA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Irvine, CA and online Spanish tutors.

    🎟 How expensive is it to learn Spanish and what does a lesson with a tutor of Spanish cost?

    For university and college courses you can estimate Spanish course cost as 1/10th of the yearly tuition (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the price of 45-48 instruction hours each semester. Language centers and individual Spanish tutors charge $30-55 an hourly group lesson, with private classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the more affordable Spanish tutors can be found online, with prices on Preply averaging 15 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor location, ratings and languages the tutor can teach in. Real student rating average for Spanish lessons on Preply is 4.95 out of 5 stars.

    📚 What are the requirements for Spanish language skill level to sign up for a course?

    When considering college and learning center classes be prepared to show a language test profeciency score or take an entrance test to determine your level. 'Canned' classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework commitment and exams, so research all such requirements in advance. With personal Spanish tutors you can read real feedback for whom the tutor is effective with and which other extras they make available (like classes for students of A, B, or C leves, etc.) For more flexibility, choose a tutor from those teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Spanish not easy and are there ways to learn it more effectively?

    Standardized language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Spanish. As proven by others before, you can gain basic Spanish fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback several hours a week you will be able to understand many sentences, have simple conversations, shop and place orders in about a year. Finding native speakers is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a quick and fun way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Spanish. After gaining basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Spanish tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced learners.

    🤷 How long does it take to get better at speaking Spanish?

    Some people have a 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 amount of time can differ a lot depending on your existing level of Spanish or knowledge of other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, try typing using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in Spanish out loud. If this is not easy you can also take conversational Spanish classes online.

    🤳 What are my options when choosing the Spanish teacher?

    In learning centers, there's a likelyhood you could choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, certainly! The largest selection of tested Spanish tutors with extensive profiles and real student reviews is available on online language learning marketplaces like Preply.

    🗓 What time of day and on which days are classes available?

    Colleges typically run classes two times weekly over a semester (75-day period). Language schools as a rule give shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, the number of lessons is really up to you, with early morning, day, evening and night classes available, on weekdays and/or weekends.
