You can see a question coming
In writing, direct questions and exclamations have opening and closing marks: ¿? and ¡!. The opening mark shows where the questioning or exclamatory intonation begins. [1]
Understand. Connect. Use.
Give your words meaning.
Build your Spanish.
Words give you ideas, and grammar helps you connect them. Together, they give you the tools to ask questions, tell a story and explain what you need. In our lessons, we explore them through examples and use them in situations connected to your life.
Grammar: how ideas fit together
Grammar describes how a language works: how verbs change, how words agree and how we build sentences. We start with useful structures for introductions, questions and preferences. Then we gradually add ways to talk about the past, make plans and express finer shades of meaning.
From one thing to several
el libro interesante
los libros interesantes
“The interesting book” becomes “the interesting books”. In Spanish, the article, noun and adjective change their forms to express the plural. Notice the pattern, then make examples of your own.
Vocabulary: words in context
Vocabulary includes the words, expressions and combinations you use to communicate. We choose them according to your level and interests: travel, work, family or culture. You practise their meaning, pronunciation and use in sentences so that you can recognise them and use them yourself.
More than an isolated word
café → tomar un café
You learn “coffee”, but also a common combination: “to have a coffee”. The context shows you how to use the expression in a conversation.
One sentence, two tools
From an idea to a message
Quiero un café,
por favor.
“I want a coffee, please.”
Vocabulary gives you the words for a wish and a drink. The verb form “quiero” identifies the speaker, while “por favor” adds politeness. Replace “un café” with “un té”, and you can build a new message straight away.
Learn a pattern, understand its meaning and adapt it. Explanation and practice work together.
Did you know?
Three small details that may change the way you notice Spanish.
Endings do not tell the whole story
Many nouns ending in “-a” are feminine, but there are exceptions: “el día” is masculine, and “la mano” is feminine. Learn a noun together with its article. [2]
Words carry their history
“Ojalá”, used to express a wish, comes from Hispanic Arabic. A word you hear today can reveal something about contact between cultures over time. [3]
How we work in lessons
We begin with an example, notice a pattern and put it into practice through questions, dialogues or short texts. We revisit what you have learnt in new contexts. You do not need to know every rule to get started: we choose the steps that suit your level.
