🎟 Is it expensive to learn Spanish and what are the ballpark lesson costs for Spanish tutors?
For university and college courses you can estimate Spanish course cost as one-tenth of the yearly tuition (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the rate for about 50 class hours each semester. Language schools and private Spanish tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with private classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the less pricey Spanish tutors can be found online, with prices on Preply averaging 15 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor location, experience and specialization.

📚 What level of Spanish do I need 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. Planned classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework commitment and tests, so research the details in advance. With personal Spanish tutors you can find out in advance for whom the tutor is effective with and which other add-ons they make available (like classes for students of A, B, or C leves, etc.) For best flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are teaching online.
🔥 Why is Spanish so hard and are there ways to learn it faster?
One-size-fits-all language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Spanish. Realistically, you can gain basic Spanish fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback five hours a week you will be able to understand many words, express yourself, get proficient in daily routines in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and affordable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Spanish. After mastering basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Spanish tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced speakers.
🤷 How long does it take to achieve a good level of 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 demand at least 600 hours of dedication. The actual range of time can differ by a lot depending on your available level of Spanish or proficiency in other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, write using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try as many as possible ways to think and speak in Spanish out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Spanish classes online.
🤳 Can I choose my own Spanish instructor?
In language centers, it's possible that you can choose your own tutor (from a limited pool). Online, of course! The largest selection of pre-screened Spanish tutors with extensive profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning resources like Preply.
🗓 What time of day and on which days are classes available?
Colleges structure classes two times weekly over a semester (15-week period). Language schools usually make available shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. 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.
