All classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework level and exams, so research those in advance. With personal Spanish tutors you can find reviews for whom the tutor is effective with and which other specializations they make available (like intermediate level practice, advanced students etc.) For better flexibility, choose a tutor from many teaching online.
🔥 Why is Spanish so difficult and are there ways to learn it more effectively?

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 expressions, speak on some level, socialize in about a year. Offline interaction is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a quick and enjoyable 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 level practitioners.
🤷 How long does it take to master Spanish?
Some people just have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Spanish will necessitate at least 600 hours of practice. The length of time can differ quite a bit depending on your already acquired level of Spanish or proficiency in other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is recommended to use the language as often as possible: watch television, try typing 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 it's more difficult than you had imagined you can also take conversational Spanish classes online.
🤳 What are my options when choosing the Spanish tutor?
In language learning academies, you can possibly choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, certainly! The largest selection of approved Spanish tutors with full profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning platforms like Preply.
🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?
Colleges usually offer classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools as a rule offer shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, allows the flexibility to schedule lessons around your commitments, on weekdays and/or weekends.
