Gothenburg's industries reach every corner of the Spanish-speaking world.

Quick answers

Questions from Gothenburg-based students

For questions about pricing and plans, see the Pricing page.

My team at Volvo/AstraZeneca/SKF includes Spanish speakers — can lessons help me communicate with them?
That's one of the most common starting points for Gothenburg students. Workplace Spanish — understanding colleagues in meetings, reading shared documents, following conversations — is integrated from the very first session.
I work rotating shifts — can lessons accommodate that?
Yes. Early morning from 7am CET, lunch slots and evenings are all available. For shift workers, we identify a consistent slot that works across your rotation schedule.
I'm a Chalmers researcher with connections to Spanish universities — can lessons help with academic Spanish?
Yes. Academic register, conference presentation language, and research collaboration vocabulary in Spanish can all be integrated for researchers with those connections.
Gothenburg feels less international than Stockholm — is there still a community of English-speaking expats?
Absolutely. Gothenburg's expat community is substantial — drawn primarily by Volvo, SKF, AstraZeneca and Chalmers. The community is smaller than Stockholm but tight-knit, internationally minded, and very English-speaking.
Can lessons help me prepare for a potential relocation to Spain or a Latin American posting?
Yes — and this is an excellent use of lessons. We can structure a pre-relocation programme calibrated to your destination, timeline and professional context.

Your work reaches the Spanish-speaking world. Now your language can too.
