If you require, Web Spanish can provide you or your employer a certificate upon completion of the program. This certificate will specify the level you have reached, the areas you have developed, and the total number of hours you have studied with us. We encourage all of our students who require Spanish language certification to take either the SIELE or DELE exam in order to gain an international accreditation. This will carry more weight than anything we can give you.

Web cams are optional for students, but our on line Spanish teachers do not usually use them because after the initial greeting at the outset of your online Spanish class – seeing the teacher’s face does not add anything to the class. Remember that you will be watching your online Spanish class unfold before you on the shared blackboard as your online Spanish teacher shares documents and exercises. 

The only program you will need to install for your online Spanish class is Skype™, if you choose to use it. The other option is to take your classes with Zoom, which does not need to be downloaded. You can find out what is best for you by discussing this with your online Spanish teacher.

There is no single answer to this question as it depends on the individual. A good strategy though is to set clear learning goals, take regular Spanish classes online that follow a logical learning path, use flash-cards on your own several times a day to memorize vocabulary, and once you reach an upper-basic level, enroll on a Spanish immersion program in a Spanish-speaking country for one month. Do this, and you will speak Spanish – not perfectly – but enough to get by. In order to advance further, repeat the formula. 

You are in luck. If you already speak English, Spanish is probably the easiest foreign language to learn. There are thousands of “cognates” shared between the two languages. This means that words with similar meanings often look alike. Not only that, every letter is pronounced in Spanish, so the spelling makes sense. 

You are never too old to learn Spanish, and even though the “memory ain’t what it used to be”, learning something new is a great way to improve it. Our Online Spanish Courses are designed for the adult learner and the vast majority of our students are over 40 years old, and there is certainly no upper age limit. Our Online Spanish Tutors have successfully taught Spanish to many senior citizens. All you need to do it take the decision and you will find that our online Spanish classes make for a stimulating and enjoyable pastime. Not convinced?
