Did you know that the Spanish language is regulated by an institution called the Royal Spanish Academy, founded in the 18th century? Its headquarters are in Madrid, although it operates other language academies in the 21 other countries that speak Spanish. The academy prides itself on inventing the use of the inverted question and exclamation marks, which are unique to the Spanish language. Similarly, it’s responsible for is the letter ñ, which was introduced to the Spanish alphabet 200 years ago.
If you want to know more about the Spanish language and its features, contact us at Listen & Learn today. We will prepare a personalised course for you to achieve your learning goals in a short time. For example, if you are planning to use the language abroad, we can focus your lessons on either European or Latin American Spanish to ensure you are understood, no matter where you decide to travel. Our instructors will help you understand the difference between the “vos” used in Paraguay, Uruguay and Argentina and “tú” used in Spain, Chile and Colombia.
And learning Spanish can also be useful locally, as Reading has more than 3,000 residents who speak Spanish at home. Thus, you’ll never run out of opportunities to put your new skills into play, such as by attending the meetings of Lively Spanish Conversation Meetup that take place every week.
Contact us at Listen & Learn today and study at your own pace and time, no matter how busy your schedule. Soon, you’ll be able to watch La Casa de Papel or Vis-a-Vis without English subtitles!
These Spanish lessons are more general in nature and are targeted at students who have a whole range of different needs. While all beginners level students can expect to cover Survival Spanish—required for short visits to a country where English may not be spoken and/or the intention is to make good contacts with the local population—students then generally progress in different directions depending on their needs. Typical students include those buying property overseas, spouses of overseas nationals, people about to set off on that long-awaited world trip, Spanish-culture enthusiasts and those who are keen to pass a particular Spanish examination.

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. Once you have become more proficient, then reading and writing will come to the fore. Typical students include those concerned with imports and exports, those seeking work in multinational companies, international negotiations and anyone working with international colleagues or administration. Even in our most rudimentary lesson for beginnners, students can expect to finish with decent telephone and e-mail Spanish, as well as a good enough grip on the language for a short trip to the country where the language is spoken.
