    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How to learn Spanish in Oakland, CA and is possible to go light in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study using recorded courses, you have a few principal choices for learning Spanish interactively in Oakland, CA. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, research centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are cheaper.) Your second spource can be local specialized language academies that are cheaper and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, not-for-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Last, you can opt for a private Spanish tutor in Oakland, CA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Oakland, CA and online Spanish tutors.

    🎟 Is it cheap to learn Spanish and what do Spanish tutors charge?

    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 overall charge for 45-48 class hours each semester. Language academies and private Spanish tutors charge $30-55 per hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the more affordable Spanish tutors can be found online, with costs on Preply averaging 15 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor hometown, experience and specialization. Average student satisfaction for Spanish lessons on Preply is 4.95 out of 5 stars.

    📚 What level of Spanish do I need to sign up for a course?

    When considering college and learning center classes be prepared prove your profeciency level. Planned classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework level and graded tasks, so research the details in advance. With personal Spanish tutors you can read reviews and get a good idea for whom the tutor is effective with and which other add-ons they make available (like teaching children or teens, etc.) For maximum 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. In reality, you can gain basic Spanish fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback a few hours a week you will be able to understand many expressions, have simple conversations, do most everyday tasks in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a rapid 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 students.

    🤷 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 practice. The amount of time can differ a lot depending on your current level of Spanish or proficiency in other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is a good idea to use the language as often as possible: watch news and movies, 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 tutor?

    In language learning academies, there's a likelyhood you could choose your own tutor (from up to a dozen teachers). Online, of course! The largest selection of approved Spanish tutors with detailed 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 structure classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools have 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.
