Quick answers
Questions from Lausanne-based students
My schedule changes week to week — how does booking work?
Lessons are booked individually rather than locked into a fixed slot. Morning before work, lunch, or evening — whatever works that week. If something comes up, rescheduling is easy and requires minimal notice.
Lausanne is French-speaking — will adding Spanish cause confusion?
Multilinguals add new languages faster, not slower — the cognitive infrastructure is already there. Many people in Lausanne speak three or four languages. Spanish sits naturally alongside French and English.
I already know some Spanish — do I need to start from scratch?
Not at all. We assess your real level in the first session — just a conversation, no written test. From there we build on what you already know, at whatever pace suits you.
I travel frequently — can lessons continue when I'm away?
Completely. Lessons are fully online and location-independent. Whether you're in Lausanne, on a trip, or working remotely — the lesson happens exactly as normal.
How quickly can I expect to make real progress?
Most students notice real progress within the first few weeks — new vocabulary they can use immediately, more confidence in understanding. From zero to functional conversational Spanish: typically 4–6 months with one to two sessions per week.
One lesson a week. Twelve months. Fluent Spanish.
