How People Learn Spanish in a Conversation Class

Consider learning Spanish just like a first grader would.  You learn the Spanish alphabet, learn simple Spanish words, and learn simple Spanish grammar.  You advance in the same way throughout your studies.

Research and experience from other students who have tried this approach unfortunately shows that such people may learn Spanish to a degree without ever being able to have a fluent conversation. 

For this reason, most learning programs now provide “conversational Spanish classes.”  These classes, by their nature, must be taught by native speakers or people who are fluent in Spanish.  

Hola Everyone would have you dive right into a conversational setting, stumbling as you find your way.  Generally, though, you will learn Spanish words that are necessary parts of a conversation first.  After you have that basis, you will usually be given a conversational topic. Then, some questions are given as conversation starters.  

In conversational classes, the tutor helps you out. It’s a group effort to begin and sustain a conversation.  As you learn Spanish, you will find that it’s less effort than pleasure.
