Our main focus is to provide you with an interactive learning environment that suits your individual needs. Our guided Spanish courses offer you, besides a wide range of study material, efficient learning tools, and support from tutors.
Learn Spanish properly from the beginning.
Our courses are carefully structured to provide you with a clear learning path. You can easily follow the courses and build your language skills step by step. Our structured approach allows you to learn the Spanish language with ease and efficiency.
At the same time, we understand that every learner is unique and has different needs and learning speeds. Therefore, we offer you the flexibility to learn individually within the courses. You have the freedom to design your own learning path and focus on the areas that are most relevant to you.
Spanish is so much more than just a language of communication. It embodies a way of life, a passionate culture, and exhilarating music. That's why we have consciously focused on imparting to our students the full spectrum of this beautiful language. Immerse yourself in the Spanish language and experience the joy of learning and the excitement for Spanish culture.
Learning paths are a planned sequence of learning offerings that must be followed to achieve the intended results. They adapt to different learning styles and help you learn the right thing at the right place at the right time, so you can achieve the desired outcome efficiently and quickly.
Our learning paths make it possible to learn Spanish effortlessly and in depth. At Lengalia, we provide you with the structure and support that can make the difference between playing with a language and truly mastering it.
Our course objectives are based on the recommendations defined in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). To achieve these objectives, Lengalia has developed a learning concept based on the following skills, all of which are interconnected:
1. Building the foundation
Getting familiar with pronunciation and learning everyday nouns and verbs, as well as basic grammar, will give you the skills you need to start putting together simple sentences. This is essential in helping you develop a solid linguistic base and will contribute to developing your confidence. Once you know the basics of the language, you will find it much easier and quicker to progress through your learning.
2. Learn vocabulary
Want to know a secret? Vocabulary is more important than grammar. That’s not to say that grammar isn’t important. It is. Grammar tells you exactly how to how to use vocabulary to form sentences. However, without vocabulary, grammar is of limited use. Lengalia offers you a collection of general vocabulary organised into 7 different levels (A0 - C2) and a collection of more specialised vocabulary to deepen your knowledge in more professional areas. You can learn this vocabulary either in context (sentences and texts) or through our vocabulary trainer. Our collection of vocabulary currently provides you with more than 25,000 words and sentences to learn.
3. Learn grammar rules
Grammar is the set of rules that explains how to use a language. It is the key to unlocking and understanding the language and it is simply not possible to learn a foreign language without having some understanding of its grammar. Once a student has learned basic words, it becomes a lot more important to understand how to connect parts of a sentence. Without an understanding of grammar, it is impossible to formulate new sentences. So, the question then is not whether we should learn grammar but how we should learn it. Our learning paths make sure you learn grammar at the right time, in a way that starts to fill in the missing pieces. You will begin to see the language from a new perspective and each and every lightbulb moment you have will further add to your overall enjoyment!
4. Improve writing skills
Having basic writing skills means being able to get your message across. Once you know how to pronounce Spanish properly (most letters in Spanish only have one sound so this should be quite simple) the best way to develop effective writing skills is to practise writing and have your writing corrected. Our pronunciation course will be just the thing you need!
5. Improve listening comprehension
When we first start to learn our mother tongue, the first couple of years are largely spent listening to our parents and attempting to recreate the sounds they make. We need to understand what we are listening to in order to speak well and so, as we continue to listen and correct our mistakes, little by little we become fluent in the language. Lengalia offers more than 35,000 clearly spoken audios, 65 podcasts and numerous videos at different levels of difficulty, each with their respective transcripts.
6. Speak the language
When should I start speaking Spanish? Well, it depends on you and your specific situation. We recommend you dedicate the first steps of your learning to building up enough vocabulary and improving your other language skills until you have a better understanding of what other people are saying and are able to respond appropriately.
Conversation practice will help you to build confidence. You get the chance to make mistakes… and learn from them. You also get concrete evidence that you are improving and you start living the language, not just learning it.
To do this, you can use one of the many online sites dedicated to bringing together language partners across the world to video call, meet up, chat online, or email (improving your writing skills as well). There are various options available such as Conversation Exchange, HelloTalk, Tandem, Speaky, etc., all of which are free of charge.
We recommend you use Lengalia and also connect with one or more language exchange partners as well. That way, you get the best of both worlds: you learn exactly how the language works with Lengalia and you get to use it informally with your language partner.
7. Master the language
You will also have the opportunity to deepen your Spanish knowledge in different professional subject areas and for specific purposes. To this end, Lengalia offers a variety of courses that will help you learn and expand your specialist vocabulary and the grammatical structures specific to your professional field.
According to Agatha Christie, if you look at a problem in an orderly and methodical way, you are guaranteed success. This is the approach we aim for with our method for learning Spanish online, meaning you will learn Spanish more easily than you first thought possible.
So what is the best method for learning Spanish online? Well actually, we don’t think there is a single correct way. Instead, we believe there are many options and the method or methods a student chooses will depend on their current needs.
We like to talk about dynamic learning. We refer here to learning characterised by constant change, where learning lives, grows, connects and extends beyond the limits of your online Spanish course. This means not only using Lengalia as an essential basis for understanding how the Spanish language works, but also watching films or videos in Spanish (internet or TV), listening to podcasts, reading books and doing an online language exchange with native speakers, etc.
At Lengalia we have created our own method for learning Spanish online on your own, and it is the opinions and constant feedback from our students that gives us the certainty that what we are doing, we are doing right. Why?

"Two things contribute to progress: going faster than others, and going in the right direction". Of these two options proposed by Descartes, Lengalia has chosen to focus on the second: to move forward by going in the right direction. This doesn’t mean the shortest or the easiest option, but the path that allows you to steadily consolidate everything you learn.
Yes, you can try learning Spanish online for free for 14 days, no strings attached.
• Set aside a set time every day for language learning. We recommend at least 10 minutes per day. It is more effective to study a little bit every day than to try to cram everything in once a week.
• Check your progress using your Individual Learning Statistics so you will know which aspects you should concentrate on.
• Do not try to learn everything at once. Set yourself realistic short term goals and achieve them at your own pace.
• Do not be afraid to get things wrong. We all learn from mistakes.
• Repeat what you have learned from time to time. 80% of what we forget is forgotten within 24 hours of learning it.
• Cultivate your patience and perseverance during the learning process.
• Lengalia will help you with your learning process, but the actual learning is an individual task. The final result is up to you.
