Our native speaker qualified Spanish language teachers can train you and your colleagues at your office or home at a time to suit you. Classes can be any day of the week (even weekends) in the morning, afternoon or evening. In certain circumstances, if your home or office is not suitable, you can take your classes at the trainer's office. Course books 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 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 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 course, students can expect to finish the course with decent telephone and e-mail Spanish, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country.
2 or more people can benefit studying Spanish together as these Spanish courses are also offered to groups (Two-to-One Spanish Course or Small Group In-Company Spanish Course). Every student must have the same degree of knowledge of the language, the same business or language needs and the ability to study at the same time and place as everybody else. The booking has to be made for all students at the same time. Listen & Learn do not advocate group sessions of more than 6-8 people, though Taster Spanish Courses can be experienced by up to 12 people.

Vancouver
Time after time regarded as one of North America's most livable cities, Vancouver is an enviable place to launch any sort of studies. Languages in particular are a choice field of study, due to Vancouver's tolerant, inclusive and welcoming approach to multiculturalism in an urban environment. Make that an urbane environment too - for Vancouver is also ranked third in the world after the Swiss cities Zürich and Geneva for the highest quality of life! An open-minded, multilingual and educated attitude amongst Vancouver locals goes hand in hand with an appreciation for the great outdoors. Blessed with close-proximity surf, snow and sun, Vancouver is a great place to get out there and active in those necessary study breaks! Plus, the diversity of available languages in Vancouver is astounding. With approximately half the number of city and metropolitan region residents speaking a first language other than English, there's plenty of opportunity to practice your new language.
