Worried About Starting?
Most beginners have the same concerns. Here's what they are — and why none of them should hold you back.
I'm starting from zero — is that okay?
Absolutely. A1 is designed for complete beginners. There is no assumption of prior knowledge.
I'm worried about making mistakes
Mistakes are the mechanism of learning. Our AI assessment gives you constructive feedback, not a grade to be embarrassed by.
I tried before and gave up
Most people give up because there was no structure. This course gives you a clear path and shows you exactly what's next.
I don't have much time each week
Even 30 minutes a few times a week is enough to make consistent progress. The course doesn't expire.
What You'll Learn as a Beginner
Starting at A1, you'll cover all the essential building blocks of Spanish in a logical, structured order. By the time you complete A1, you'll be able to hold basic conversations in Spanish — not just recite memorised phrases.
- How to greet people and introduce yourself
- Numbers, dates, and telling the time
- Asking and answering simple questions
- Talking about your family, job, and daily life
- Shopping, ordering food, and getting around
- Core grammar: gender, articles, ser vs estar, present tense
- Essential vocabulary across everyday topics
- How to write basic messages and emails in Spanish
