About Us
When you travel in a Spanish speaking country, you learn to speak Spanish in accordance with the situations that you come across and the news of the day. These learning scenarios are random, and reflect the way you learned your first language when you were a child. We created this blog with this concept of “random learning” in mind, and we are mixing two different kinds of learning tools for you to use. The first are Spanish video lessons hosted by a Spanish teacher who will teach you basic Spanish using real-life scenarios found on the streets of Lima, as well as some more formal lessons prepared in studio. These lessons are complimented by our weekly "Mundo Hispano" audio lesson, which focuses on a weekly current event that has been rewritten in a form that Spanish students with an intermediate level should be able to understand. All of these Spanish lessons are the product of Web Spanish, a virtual Spanish school that connects students with Spanish teachers online for one-to-one lessons. We hope that you have as much fun using these lessons as we had in preparing them.
