Description

"Spanish Awakenings" is a Spanish course for beginners that will flow like a story. Besides Spanish beginners, it is also suitable for people who studied Spanish years ago in high school or college and who want to refresh their memory about basic Spanish vocabulary and grammar.

     "Wonderful course. Wonderful teacher! Wonderful explanations!"

      "I liked how you added important grammar and even the culture of your country!"

      "I love the course. Very very informative"

       "Awesome instructor! Takes his time to teach! Gives the meanings and the what to listen for"

These beginner Spanish lessons are built around a story that is desiged to let you interpret, recognize and acquire basic Spanish vocabulary and Spanish grammar in context.  With these fourty-four Spanish lessons, you´ll learn the meaning of Spanish words and expressions by using your intuition - and you will do this naturally and organically. 

Learning beginners Spanish through stories is similar to how you learned your own language when you were a child.    But, since you are not a child anymore, we help you double down on this interpretive, organic learning by providing you with the lessons and tools to double check your understanding, and to review and memorize the Spanish words what you have seen and heard.

You can also study off-line! This course includes a downloadable audio package, a study guide PDF for your smartphone, and a printable study guide which details all of the Spanish lessons if you prefer good old paper!

Spanish students who view the course and do the work will develop basic communication skills in Spanish, and will move from a Basic I to nearly a Basic II level.  This course is a great foundation block for Spanish beginners who are serious about learning Spanish, but who are tired of the traditional methods. 

Who this course is for:

  • Adults with little or no knowledge of the Spanish language as well as more advanced students who wish to review the basics of the Spanish language.

I run a Spanish immersion school in Lima, Peru where I have lived for the last 25 years, and operate an online Spanish school as well.

Although I have been a school administrator for many years, my passion is still teaching and course creation.

My degree is in Political Science from the University of Toronto, and I am fluent in English and Spanish. My French is pretty good, too, and I am now studying Portuguese.

My instructional specialty is teaching English to economists, and public speaking skills in English and Spanish to business people.
