Your colleagues and yourself can be trained by our native-speaking fully-qualified Spanish tutors at a time and location to suit you.

This set of Spanish tutorials are less specific and more targeted at those who want to get a range of different things from learning Spanish. Even though all novice students will cover survival Spanish: enough Spanish to make a visit to the country or make good contacts with the locals, but what do you do from there? It depends on your needs. Those who have benefitted from these courses have been those moving or investing overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people who love to travel all over the world, those interested in Spanish culture, and those who just want to pass a specific examination in Spanish.
These Spanish courses are intended for people who really need to learn Spanish to help make that difference in their work. For beginners, it will be useful to learn greetings and basic business etiquette, at higher levels reading and then writing become more important. Typical students include those involved in import/export, international negotiations and acquisitions, jobseekers in multinational companies where an additional language is required, and those working with international colleagues, academia and government. Even on our most basic course for Beginners, students should expect to end the course with basic Telephone Spanish and e-mail Spanish skills for communications as well as Survival Spanish required for short visits to a country.
If there are 2 or more of you with the same level of Spanish, the same targets within the language, and be able to study at the same time and location, then you'll be happy to know that these Spanish courses can also be made available for Two-to-One Spanish Courses or Small Group In-Company Spanish Courses. Listen & Learn do not generally recommend classes of more than 6-8 people, although Taster courses in Spanish can run with up to 12 people. Bookings must be made for all participants at the same time.
