Online Spanish courses for the USA and Canada
¡oYe! Spanish offers a number of programs for students from the US and Canada who want to learn Latin American Spanish. If you want to learn for academic purposes then we recommend considering our programs based on ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) levels. For these we have textbook recommendations that will make it easy for you to study to a set standard if you are going to be taking exams.
Otherwise, our Conversation Plus! classes offer the opportunity to work with a teacher to create a lesson plan that wll allow you to achieve your own learning goals. These classes are more flexible and can be bought in multiples of 5, 10 or 20 hours, with progressive savings the more credits you buy at a time. Conversation Plus! classes are suitable for students of all ages, from 7 to 70 who are looking to learn Spanish online. These are our most popular classes with students from the US and Canada.
Most people from North America, Australia and other non-European countries are more interested in learning Latin American Spanish. The principal differences between Spanish from Spain and fromLatin America are pronunciation and some different vocabulary. A good comparison is between English from the UK and from the US or Canada - the different accent doesn't make an appreciable difference and more than 99% of the words are the same, so there is almost no difficulty in understanding speakers from any of these countries. Even within Latin American countries the accents tend to differ along with some words that are used more in one or other country.
If you are studying for the DELE exam it makes more sense to book your classes with one of our Spanish teachers from Spain, as they will be able to prepare you better for the listening part of the exam as well as with purely Spanish vocabulary.
Whichever course of Spanish study you choose with ¡oYe! you will receive the same level of attention from our staff, and we will apply the same high level of oversight and evaluation to your course. Your Spanish study plan will be independently reviewed by our academic director and detailed records of your progress will be kept for reference at any time in the future.
