Learn Spanish online
Spanish lessons cover both Peninsular and Latin American varieties, and your teacher will tell you which one they speak so vocabulary and pronunciation stay consistent. Beginners get a fast route to useful speech: present tense verbs, question forms and enough vocabulary to survive a real conversation within weeks. Intermediates usually get stuck on the subjunctive, ser versus estar, and past tense choice between preterite and imperfect — those are attacked directly with examples rather than tables. Teachers also cover DELE and SIELE exam preparation and the regional differences that textbooks quietly ignore.
What you'll learn
- Pronunciation, including the rolled r and vowel purity
- Present, preterite, imperfect and future tenses used in conversation
- Ser versus estar, por versus para and other classic sticking points
- The subjunctive explained through use rather than conjugation tables
- Everyday vocabulary for travel, work, food and social situations
- Listening to native-speed Spanish from different regions
- DELE or SIELE exam preparation with past papers and speaking practice
How lessons work here
- Find a teacher. Browse profiles with headline, country, spoken languages, experience, credentials and student reviews. Every public profile has been verified before it goes live.
- Book a slot. Teachers publish real availability, including exceptions and holidays. You pick a time and the booking is confirmed against that calendar, so double-bookings are blocked at database level.
- Join the lesson room. Lessons run in the browser with live video and audio — nothing to install. Screen sharing and shared tools sit alongside the video.
- Use the tools built for this subject. The lesson room includes a shared document you both edit in real time; flashcard decks with spaced repetition, importable from CSV or JSON; a whiteboard for grammar explanations and sentence diagrams; quizzes that are graded on the server, so results cannot be edited; file and link sharing for texts, audio and homework.
- Get homework and keep the thread. Teachers set tasks with attachments and deadlines, comment on what you submit, and keep a shared learning plan you can both see between lessons.
- Track progress. Attendance and a simple lesson rating are recorded by the teacher, quizzes are graded on the server, and a progress report can be generated for you — or for a parent or guardian.
Who it's for
- Complete beginners planning travel or a move to a Spanish-speaking country
- Intermediate learners stuck at the plateau where progress stalls
- Students and professionals preparing DELE, SIELE or school exams
Lessons run from A1 absolute beginner through to C1/C2 advanced, following the CEFR levels. Teachers place you in the first session and revisit the level as you progress.
Levels and lesson formats
- One-to-one lessons — the standard format, usually 30, 45 or 60 minutes.
- Recurring weekly slots — booked from the teacher's live availability calendar.
- Group workshops — teachers can run scheduled workshops with limited places and a waiting list.
- Trial or one-off sessions — useful for a single problem, an exam panic or checking the fit before committing.
Lesson length, cancellation notice and any price are set by each teacher and shown on their profile before you book. Teachers can also share materials, quizzes and certificates of completion with public verification.

Frequently asked questions
Spain Spanish or Latin American Spanish?
Pick by destination. The differences are mainly pronunciation, vosotros usage and some vocabulary — mutual understanding is never an issue. Teacher profiles state their variety.
How long to reach conversational Spanish?
With two lessons a week plus daily review, most learners hold basic conversations within three to four months and reach comfortable B1 territory inside a year.
Is the subjunctive really that hard?
It is unfamiliar rather than hard. Teachers introduce it through fixed expressions you use immediately, then generalise the pattern.
Can lessons be in Spanish only?
Yes, from any level. Teachers grade their language to your level so an immersion lesson stays comprehensible.
