        Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

        🌆 How do I improve my Spanish in Berkeley, CA and what does it take in terms of commitment?

        Besides self-study using special programs, you have several main possibilities for learning Spanish interactively in Berkeley, CA. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, read about centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are less pricey.) Your second resource can be local for-profit language academies that cost less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, non-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Last, you can look for a private Spanish tutor in Berkeley, CA. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Berkeley, CA and online Spanish tutors.

        🎟 Is it cheap to learn Spanish and what do Spanish tutors charge?

        For university and college courses you can estimate Spanish course cost as 1/10th of the yearly tuition (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the price of 1/2 of a hundred lesson hours each semester. Language academies and independent Spanish tutors charge $30-55 an hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the more affordable Spanish tutors can be found online, with tuition on Preply averaging 15 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor geography, positive reviews and student demand. Average reviews for Spanish lessons on Preply is 4.95 out of 5 stars.

        📚 What level of Spanish do I need to sign up for a course?

        When considering college and learning center classes be prepared demonstrate proof of your current level. Planned classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework load and testing, so research those in advance. With personal Spanish tutors you can read reviews and get a good idea for whom the tutor is effective with and which other specializations they make available (like intermediate level practice, advanced students etc.) For better flexibility, choose a tutor from those teaching online.

        🔥 Why is Spanish so challenging and are there ways to learn it in a better way?

        Formal language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Spanish. As proven by others before, you can gain basic Spanish fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback 5 hours a week you will be able to understand everyday sentences, have simple conversations, socialize in about a year. Offline interaction is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a quick and affordable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Spanish. After attaining basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Spanish tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced learners.

        🤷 How long does it take to get better at speaking Spanish?

        Some people seem to have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Spanish will take at least 600 hours of practice. The actual range of time can differ quite a bit depending on your already acquired level of Spanish or familiarity with other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is advised to use the language as often as possible: watch television, write by hand and online using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try as many as possible ways to think and speak in Spanish out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Spanish classes online.

        🤳 How many possibilities do I choose among when I select the right Spanish tutor?

        In colleges and universities, there's a likelyhood you could choose your own tutor (from up to a dozen teachers). Online, absolutely! The largest selection of verified Spanish tutors with extensive profiles and comprehensive reviews is available on online language learning resources like Preply.

        🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?

        Colleges typically structure classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools typically make available shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, allows the flexibility to schedule lessons around your commitments, on weekdays and/or weekends.
