Quick answers
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a typical lesson actually look like?
Every lesson is different because every student is different — but the structure is consistent. We start from where you are, work on what you actually need (conversation, vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar as a tool), and finish with something you can use immediately. No textbook-following, no generic exercises.
How often should I take lessons to make real progress?
One lesson per week is the minimum for steady, visible progress. Two per week accelerates results significantly — especially in the first three months. Most students start with one and add a second once they feel the momentum. Consistency matters more than frequency.
I'm a complete beginner — where do lessons start?
Exactly from zero — no prior knowledge needed. The first session is a discovery call where we establish what you know, what you need, and what pace suits you. Beginners typically start speaking from the very first lesson. The goal is always real communication, not grammar drills.
What level of Spanish is realistic after one year of private lessons?
One lesson per week for a year typically produces solid B1 (intermediate) — functional conversations, professional email writing, and comfortable daily communication. Two lessons per week accelerates to B2 (upper intermediate) — confident professional use across most situations.
Is Spanish useful specifically for Switzerland-based professionals?
Very much so. Switzerland's major industries — banking (Latin American private wealth), commodities (major Latin American trading flows), and international organisations (Spanish is a UN official language) — all have significant Spanish-language dimensions.
