Hi everyone.

Happy New Year; I hope your New Year’s resolutions include improving your Spanish! We can help. Here is an overview of what’s available now at Real Spanish.

Elizabeth - How improved my Spanish

Our multimedia courses

Our multimedia courses are the heart of Real Spanish and we’ve adopted the slogan “Real Spanish: online courses for people who are serious about improving their Spanish”. Most of these courses focus on the colloquial language, grammar and vocabulary that arise in clips from popular TV programs and movies, but we also have some courses that focus on pronunciation.

Good to know:

  • You can sign up free to try some sample material.

Our Mini-lessons

These video-lessons are freely available on our site and on YouTube and most are 3-5 minutes long. We plan to upload new videos every Monday. We have four playlists:

Playlist: Real Spanish in Minutes

These mini-lessons focus on colloquial language. Some explain the many different meanings and uses of common words such as leche, or various ways to express an idea or an emotion: for example, expressions for talking about speed, or expressions to reject a suggestion or a request. Others consist of excerpts from our full-length lessons based on clips from movies, TV programs, and documentaries.

To help you get the most out of these videos we have developed a set of supplementary learning materials for each of these video-lessons. You’ll be surprised how much Spanish you can learn! Each set consists of

  • A complete annotated transcription
  • Grammar notes in English and Spanish
  • Online practice activities
