With more than 600 million speakers living in almost every country, Spanish is one of the most spoken languages in the world. So, learning the language will allow you to connect with this huge community, especially if you live in London, where more than 10,000 Spanish speakers live. Contact us at Listen & Learn and our professional instructors will prepare a face-to-face or online Spanish course, so you can learn the Spanish variety you want. For example, did you know that carro, coche, auto and automóvil are four different ways to say the same thing (car) and that the usage depends on the country (or even the province, in the case of large countries like Argentina)? But don’t worry, our native-speaking tutors will help you achieve sufficient competency to be understood by every Spanish speaker, regardless of their origin country.
Furthermore, Spanish pronunciation and cadence can be tough to learn, especially if you are an English speaker. But with the help of Listen & Learn, you’ll soon understand all the nuances of the language and acquire the skills to hold conversations. One way you’ll achieve this quickly is by knowing the many words that English and Spanish have in common, like comunismo (communism), cultura (culture) or autonomía (autonomy). However, watch out because that’s not the case of all terms! Ropa, for example, does not mean “rope” but “clothes”.
And if you are looking to improve your confidence when speaking this foreign language, you’ll be happy to know that you’ll find plenty of opportunities to do so in London. For instance, you can join language exchange groups, like the Hablemos Spanish Conversation Meetup, and make new friends while putting your new skills into practice! Contact us today and soon you’ll be speaking fluently to people from Colombia, Spain, Uruguay, Perú and many more Spanish-speaking countries!
