About Us
Web Spanish is an online Spanish school that provides students with trained Spanish tutors that offer one-to-one Spanish classes over the internet, and “El Mundo Hispano” is our blog. We use this space to publish free Spanish lessons that our teachers often use to complement their course material in the classroom. These Spanish lessons touch upon a wide range of topics and many are are meant to teach you in much the same way as if you were traveling in a Spanish-speaking country. We also focus both the Spanish audio and video lessons on topical news stories focussed on current events taking place in the Spanish-speaking world. We re-write these news stories using level-specific language, so you don´t need to be an expert at Spanish in order to understand what´s going on. We hope you will find our free Spanish lessons of use to you and that you will become a regular visitor. And don´t forget... if you´d like to take some personalized Spanish lessons online, arranging a Web Spanish class is only a click away! Thanks for visiting.
