After acquiring basic skills, online marketplaces like LearnZone have Spanish tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced learners.
🤷 How long does it take to achieve a good level of Spanish?
Some people have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Spanish will necessitate at least 600 hours of study. The actual range of time can differ a lot depending on your available level of Spanish or proficiency in other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch television, try typing using your new language skills, look for native speakers to speak with, try additional ways to think and speak in Spanish out loud. If this is not easy you can also take conversational Spanish classes online.
🤳 Can I choose my own Spanish tutor?
In language learning academies, there's a chance you can choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, always! The largest selection of approved Spanish tutors with extensive profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning platforms like LearnZone.

Online, you can take as few as one lesson a year, as many as several a day - and as many (or as few) as you want during any time of day, on weekdays and/or weekends.
