In this post I will tell you EXACTLY where to find the best online Spanish classes and which ones you should avoid.
The first type of Online Spanish Courses you should avoid are the free ones. I’ll admit I’m a bit cheap so this is the first place I started. What I found out is these “free” online Spanish lessons are not free, they are a taster to entice you into buying a useless course.
These free online Spanish classes ended up costing me over $300 and taught me very little. These courses reminded me of school, they gave me a bundle of information I would never use. They teach you Spanish words and phrases that are just useless to you.
One of the phrases these online courses had me saying was “have you seen my Parrot”. Can you imagine EVER having to say that!
So I guess what I’m saying is beware of what you buy.
Quality Free Online Spanish Classes
The only free course that is worth a damn is the free 6 day taster course from Rocket Spanish. You get some free audio Spanish, Spanish grammar and culture lessons for free.
I have put there form below, I recommend you check it out.
FREE COURSE FORM
After trying a few courses and doing a lot of research on learning Spanish online I tried Rocket Spanish. After the reviews I had read and because they have a 60 day money back guarantee I did not bother with their free course, I jumped straight in.
After completing the course I don’t think you can better their online Spanish classes.
What was important to me was I learnt Spanish that I could use and that is exactly what Rocket Spanish focuses on. You learn words and phrases that allow you to communicate with a Spanish speaker in everyday situations.
The course gives you over 60 simple to follow lessons that are interactive, a feature the other courses failed on. Each lesson is around 25 minutes and even they are broken down further so you can literally do five or ten minutes at a time.
They make sure you get your grammar spot on and concentrate on your pronunciation as well.
After a few weeks your motivation really kicks in because you can see you are making quick progress.
One of the most enjoyable parts learning Spanish online with Rocket Spanish were their games. They have three games focusing on language, verbs and grammar and it really took the hard work out of the learning. If you’re competitive like me, the games really spur you on.
If you are checking out online Spanish classes I would definitely subscribe to Rocket Spanish’s free 6 day course, it will give you an idea if there style of learning works for you.
Good look with your online Spanish lessons!
