Hi everyone.
Happy New Year; I hope your New Year’s resolutions include improving your Spanish! We can help. Here is an overview of what’s available now at Real Spanish.
Our multimedia courses
Our multimedia courses are the heart of Real Spanish and we’ve adopted the slogan “Real Spanish: online courses for people who are serious about improving their Spanish”. Most of these courses focus on the colloquial language, grammar and vocabulary that arise in clips from popular TV programs and movies, but we also have some courses that focus on pronunciation.
