General Spanish
From your first words to fluent, confident conversation. A speaking-first Spanish course in small groups of 8 — on campus in Santa Monica or live online.
Speak Spanish from lesson one
Our General Spanish course is built around one idea: you learn a language by using it. From the very first lesson you speak, react and think in Spanish — grammar and vocabulary are the tools, not the goal. Every group is capped at 8 students, so you are never a spectator.
A free placement test maps you to the right CEFR level, and your teacher gives you written progress feedback every week. Most students move up a level in 10–12 weeks. Prefer to compare formats first? See all Spanish courses at Lingua Nova.
By the end of your level, you will be able to:
- Hold natural conversations on everyday and work topics
- Understand native Spanish speakers at natural speed
- Write clear emails, messages and short texts
- Use grammar accurately without translating in your head
- Feel confident — not anxious — when you speak
- 2 lessons per week
- On campus or online
- Materials included
- Weekly progress feedback
