Using the Program
The key to learning Spanish is to practice a little bit nearly every day.
- Lessons can be finished in about 15 to 20 minutes. Each lesson in Discover Spanish builds upon the last, allowing for rapid learning.
- Set a goal of finishing 3 to 5 lessons per week. Then spend a little time each week reviewing the previous lessons you have completed. See course outline
- The total time to complete the course will vary depending upon how many lessons you complete each week. The recommended amount of time to complete the program is 3 months, at a rate of 3 lessons per week. You will receive a certificate of completion when you finish all 36 lessons.
- Remember that having a positive attitude makes a tremendous difference when you are trying to learn a new language. Do not be afraid to make mistakes. Just relax and have fun as you are learning. You’ll be surprised at how much you’ll take in if you just give it a try.
