Essential Spanish for Life in Southern Spain

Let me show you the Spanish (and andaluz) I learned to be able to communicate effectively with locals and live a comfortable life in the south of Spain.

This course is focused on improving your conversation skills and building your confidence when speaking and understanding Spanish, especially in Andalucía. You will not only find essential vocabulary and grammar, but also some fun expressions to impress your local friends!

HOWEVER, THE MOST IMPORTANT VALUE HERE IS WHAT YOU GET IN THE LONG RUN -
CONFIDENCE and FLUENCY.

Remember, you are investing in
yourself AND in your life in Spain.

My life as a Spanish learner completely changed when…

  • I realised the importance of my mindset and attitude towards the language.
  • I learned that the Spanish I learned in University wasn’t all the same as the Spanish I hear in my daily life in southern Spain.
  • I chose to integrate myself into their culture and connect with the locals in a deeper level.

And that was when I finally achieved confidence in the Spanish language.

What my students say 🤩

Inés, Cadiz

“Nesh no solo enseña un idioma, enseña a conocerte a ti mismo, te enseña a ser capaz de hacer cosas tu creías que no ibas a ser capaz.”

Daphne, Lima

“We focused on mindset so we could be more conscious and aware about our learning processes.

Irene, Madrid

“Antes de hacer el curso, me sentía un poco desmotivada, estancada en el simple hecho de no poder avanzar […] y a veces necesitas este pequeño impulso, y gracias a Nesh yo lo he conseguido.”

Yaisa, Madrid

“Vais a aprender cómo con pequeños retos diarios, de verdad, tenéis el inglés presente en vuestra vida cada día.”

Victor, Alicante

“I think this challenge is different because it’s a modern way to approach English and to face the English learning process.”

I lived in Spain for a number of months and I wanted to learn Spanish. I done many many classes with Neshann and my Spanish improved greatly. Neshann is a fantastic teacher and makes learning so enjoyable. She is very passionate about language and that strongly comes across in her teaching styles and methods. Neshann has always been so flexible with her timetable and I found her so accommodating. I would highly recommend Neshann as a teacher of languages and I would give Neshann a 5/5 star rating for her teaching and her professionalism combined.

Neshann is a great teacher as she helped me learn a lot of Spanish really quickly and I didn't think I'd know that much before I started. I also really enjoy her classes and I definitely think they're fun.
Julia

Nesh is my favorite teacher that I’ve ever had and she helped me achieve the best grade I could in my exam. She has fun and innovative ways to learn and she helped further my passion for languages which I now continue my studies in thanks to her. The best teacher I could’ve asked for :)
Réka
Learning Spanish 🇪🇸
Have been trying to learn Spanish for over a year with a few different teachers with little more progress than I was getting from Duolingo. Decided to try one more teacher with Nesh and my Spanish has improved more in the last month than it has in the last year. She has really help me with my pronunciation and always finds a way to explain how to pronounce something and the meanings of different phrase. She is an extremely attentive teacher and her classes are always fun! Highly recommend to anyone!

Frequently Asked Questions 🤔

How does the course work? 📖

Once you pay your registration, you will receive unlimited access to the course materials and our private community. Every weekday during 5 weeks you will receive a new pre-recorded video lesson, which you can watch at your own time, with downloadable workbooks and other resources.

If you choose the Combo Pack: Full course + live group classes, the live classes will be on Fridays at either 9-10 am or 4-5pm, depending on your availability. If you can’t attend a live session, the recording of the class will be uploaded to the private community, which you can watch any time. This is the recommended option since you will be able to practice what you learn with consistency and support from like-minded people!

If you choose the Premium Pack: Full course + private classes, you will be able to choose the time and date for the private classes. This is ideal if you have a difficult schedule or would like extra time between classes.

Are the classes live?

Yes. Well, some of them. You will receive pre-recorded video classes, which you can watch in your own time

If you choose the Combo Pack, you be able to attend LIVE video call sessions in small groups (maximum 6 people) to be able to practise your speaking skills with other motivated students!

If you choose the Premium Pack, you will be able to choose when your private live classes will be. 

How much is the course? 💶

There are different prices depending on what you’d like! Check out the prices here.

You can make a single payment, or split your payment into 2 instalments, the first one at the time of registration and the second one on the course release date.

If you are on the waiting list, you can get a 25% discount!

What materials/apps do I need? 📱

You just need the basics:

What methods of payment are available? 💳

Credit/debit card payments from all countries are accepted.  💳

You can also pay through two instalments (one at the beginning and other one on the release date).

How much time do I need to complete the course? ⌛️

Pre-recorded classes do not expire. You pay a registration fee and you have lifetime access to the material and PLUS, you get a discount for the next editions and upgrades of the course!

What level of Spanish do I need to have? 🧐

To be honest, I’m not a very big fan of “levels”, at least the ones we’re used to using. Language is so complex that we cannot really “label” our level with one word or category. It’s more about out capability to do certain tasks/activities whether it is easy or difficult for us. The objective of this course is to make expressing yourself in Spanish as easy as possible for you. 

So in other words, you don’t have to worry about your “level”, in this course, it doesn’t matter. Each class will be adapted to your capabilities in order for you to be able to advance and take the next step. You will also be grouped with people who are more or less in the same page as you if you decide to go with the Combo Pack.

What is the course language?

All lessons will be imparted in English and Spanish. I am a great believer of “the more you listen, the more you’ll understand”. This is how I and many of my students have experienced. So no, I will not be talking purely in English in the lessons (except maybe in the Live Sessions if needed). 

BUT! Of course, every pre-recorded lesson will have SUBTITLES. Depending on your level, I will be providing both English and Spanish subtitles for maximum comprehension of the lessons.

This will train you to eliminate the habit (if you have it) of watching dubbed versions of series and films little by little and practise reading subtitles instead!

What if I can't attend a live class? 😭

Don’t you worry, every live class will be recorded and available for you to watch at any time. There also will be two times in the day so there is more chance for you to attend one!

Can I use this course to prepare for an official Spanish exam?

The Live and Speak in Andalucía course is NOT an exam preparation courseWe will not look at exam structures nor tips and tricks on how to do exam tasks. 

However, you can use this course to your advantage by implementing the knowledge and practices into your exam preparation system. The course will definitely help you with the speaking and listening parts of official Spanish exams as you will be exposed to the language.

Most importantly, it will help you with your confidence, which plays an important role in your exam performance.

How many students will there be in the class?

For maximum speaking time, each live class will have a maximum of 6 students. There will be other students in the community who would be attending class at another time.

LAST CHANCE!
