Course content

2 sections • 29 lectures • 4h 59m total length

  • General introduction13:59
  • Phonetics: (Alphabet and introduction to accents) part 114:06
  • Phonetics: (Alphabet and introduction to accents) part 217:05
  • Word stress and accent marks*26:28

    This lesson refers to everything regarding Spanish accentuation and the proper usage of the "tilde".

    * It can be taken at any time during the course from now on. You can take it right now, or just skip it so you can watch its content at the end, or even at any point all along with the lessons. Simply when you find it appropriate. Nevertheless by this stage having clear all the pronunciation rules previously learned is a must, as they are crucial to understanding this matter in its entirety.


  • Introduction to verb tenses7:19
  • Personal pronouns: Subject pronouns6:04
  • Indicative mood: Present tense13:55

    At this point, we already started talking about Verb tenses and the Present is the first of them. That is why I highly recommend downloading the attached file of this lesson right away. It is a table where you will find a list with all the verbs that I employed as examples during the course. There you can easily visualize the tenses in which verbs are regular or irregular.

    I also suggest having on hand, along with this file, an online verb conjugator such as Reverso or Lingolia, for instance. By doing this, you will have already all the tools to continue in this learning process.


    Here some of the links of the conjugators I recommend:

    Finally, in case of any doubt regarding the table, do not hesitate to write to me.

The whole course was designed under the following framework:

Be SYNTHESIZED: In less than 5 hours you will comprehend the fundamentals (no downtimes, always maintaining a steady pace).

Be RATIONAL: You will find a strong coherent sequence between topics, constantly keeping a common thread so you do not get lost at any time.




By the end of this course, you'll be able to:


• Recognize, in terms of grammar, the macrostructure of the language.

In short, by the end of the lessons, you will have an overview of the language, a complete guideline that will lead you through the path of your autonomous learning process, and also, a wide vocabulary that overtakes the two hundred words, including verbs, nouns, prepositions, adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, and more.

Definitely, this course will supply you with a huge communicative tool, as well as the confidence of being able to express yourself properly verbally and in writing.


Who this course is for:

  • Absolute beginners.
  • Learners with an intermediate or advanced level, who may need to reinforce their knowledge by brushing up basic topics (such as the Present tense of the Indicative) and clearing up possible doubts about the most challenging matters (such as the Subjunctive mood or the DOP and IOP pronouns).
  • Spanish teachers whose mother tongue is not this language, and want to implement a new way of pedagogy, based on the perspective of a native speaker.
