About Real Spanish

Hello, and welcome to Real Spanish. I’m Carmen, one of your virtual teachers.

Have you been studying Spanish for a while, but lose the thread of a conversation because you are thinking about the vocabulary and grammar?

Do you still find it very difficult to understand native speakers?

That’s not surprising. Native speakers speak very fast— at top speed. I’m sure you already know that «pastilla» is a pill or tablet.

But the expression «a toda pastilla» means something else.

Another problem is that native speakers use colloquial expressions that you don’t often find in textbooks.

You need to listen to many authentic conversations in order to be able to participate in conversation with native speakers.

But don’t worry, with Real Spanish you can improve your listening comprehension, increase your vocabulary, learn loads of useful expressions, reinforce your understanding of grammar, and improve your fluency in Spanish. And, at the same time, you can learn a lot about the history and culture of Spanish and the Spanish-speaking world.

Real Spanish is your website!

In Real Spanish you can enjoy some really interesting video-lessons based on clips from TV and movies. These lessons focus mainly on colloquial language spoken at native-speaker speed.

These video-lessons don’t follow a fixed sequence of vocabulary and grammar.

And you won’t have to do boring exercises that have nothing to do with the content of the lessons.
Instead we focus on the vocabulary, the grammar, the colloquial expressions and some of the grammar points that come up in the clips. We also explain the cultural content and background of the clips.
