Your colleagues and yourself can be trained by our native-speaking fully-qualified Spanish tutors at a time and location to suit you. Classes can take place any day, even weekends, and can happen in the morning, afternoon or evening. If the case may be that your home or office is not convenient, there is always the option to take your classes at the office of your teacher. Study books for the lesson are provided.
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 lessons 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 lessons are driven towards people who have a requirement to learn Spanish to bolster their work output. For novices, you will find it useful to learn basic greetings and business etiquette; and once you have become more proficient then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with import/export, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations, and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even on our most rudimentary beginners lesson, students can expect to finish the lesson with decent telephone and e-mail Spanish, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the 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 lessons can also be made available for Two-to-One Spanish Lessons or Small Group In-Company Spanish Lessons. Listen & Learn do not generally recommend classes of more than 6-8 people, although Taster lessons in Spanish can run with up to 12 people. Bookings must be made for all participants at the same time.
Italian and Spanish are generally mutually intelligible: native speakers of each language have little difficulty in understanding one another
Spanish nouns and pronouns don't change much in form, but they are split into 2 genders; and each verb has about 50 different forms
What we call 'Spanish', Spanish people would generally call Castilian ('castellano') to differentiate it from other regional Spanish dialects

"The lessons are going great! Yuriko is a great teacher and she's in the process of finding a suitable text for me. I’m learning a lot of vocabulary and she’s teaching me Latin American Spanish (which I prefer to learn). Thanks,"
St. Louis
Named after the King Louis IX of France, St. Louis is famed for multiple French influences on its fascinating local history. Equally highly regarded are the German influences on this independent city in the state of Missouri. Yet the international links held by St. Louis are not just consigned to the history books. An active cultural interaction with France and Germany is maintained through to the modern day by participation in the Sister Cities International program. Strong ties between St. Louis and Lyon in France, French-speaking Saint-Louis in Senegal and Stuttgart in Germany ensure that the bond of linguistic exchange isn't broken. As a result, St. Louis is a great spot to study a new language! Whether you are interested in Russian, Japanese, Indonesian, Polish, Chinese, Italian, Hebrew or a variety of other interesting international languages, you needn't to go any further than St. Louis!
