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.
Italian and Spanish are generally mutually intelligible: native speakers of each language have little difficulty in understanding one another
What we call 'Spanish', Spanish people would generally call Castilian ('castellano') to differentiate it from other regional Spanish dialects
In terms of grammar and vocabulary, Spanish is fairly similar to French and Romanian

Vaughan
Known as 'the city above Toronto', Vaughan is one of the fastest growing areas in Canada. As Toronto continues to thrive and cement its reputation as a true world city, Vaughan is moving forward as well, enjoying the 'spillover' effect from its larger neighbor to the south. Several of the top 500 companies in Canada have chosen Vaughan as their home base, including everything from heavy machinery manufactures to automotive parts companies. They were attracted to Vaughan by its proximity to Toronto, and the relatively low cost of doing business there. The population of Vaughan is unique, with over 20% of the community coming from South Asia, Pakistan, India or other parts of the world. With so much international activity at the community and business levels, learning a new language in Vaughan is one of the best things residents can do to improve their own careers and education.
