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!
We will also talk about the most effective methods and how our brains work in relation to language learning, so that you can apply this knowledge during and after the course.

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.

“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

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.
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!
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!
The Live and Speak in Andalucía course is NOT an exam preparation course. We 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.
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!
