Spanish classes

Hello,

I am looking for some one-on-one Spanish classes. Someone that teaches more conversation style since I know the basics already. I am also looking for someone who charges less than $10 an hour.

Thanks for the info.

    Good idea.
    I always say that being forced to communicate in a different language than your mother language will make you master that language in a very short time. A very bad example would be Wild Bill. He is speaking Spanish better now.

    Make local friends and go with them to local activities. Read local newspaper and magazines with a good dictionary at hand.

    Learn oral Spanish first, worry later about grammar. It was the way we all learned to talk in our own language.

  • There is a difference between getting Spanish classes from a certified teacher and someone you can converse with. The first will cost more than $10 an hour as any self respecting teacher can teach online for more without having to get out of bed. I suggest you do an Intercambio! Little thing we did in Spain to learn Spanish. You go to a bar or other place to meet and sit down with a local that wants to learn English. He speaks English, you correct him. You speak Spanish, he corrects you.

    Intercambio! Its free! Good luck...

  • Great idea!

  • We just asked a Panamanian friend to speak English with us and we paid her per hour.  It really helped our conversational skills and she earned some extra pocket money.  But I don't know any professionals to assist you.

    • A professional isn't important. Someone dedicated and honest is fine :)

  • Jax, please don't let anyone discourage you. Many folks here have picked up the Spanish language later in life. Jackie Lescure is a very good one-on-one teacher.

    • Thanks Keith, much appreciated

  • Knowing some basics? Only conversation lessons? You have to learn complete grammar, irregular verbs etc. 120 hours of private lessons and daily 1.1/2 hours home work. Watching English movies with Spanish subtitles. Reading the Spanish newspapers online. The aim is to be at proficiency level. This will save you finally a lot of money at shopping at the market, repairs, paperwork, car repairs Nd many more things. Socially one will be accepted by the locals.
    • Robert, I'm sorry you are opposed to my initial goals in Spanish. You sound very intelligent according to your own account or yourself. I wish you the best of you happen to go into the English, Spanish, or Dutch teaching field. ;)

  • What? Less than 10 box an hour! A Chinese saying is "Cheap no good, good no cheap". What basics?
