Skype Spanish Lessons can be scheduled to take place from Monday to Friday as long as we have teachers available. You can sign up to have from 4 to 20 hours of Online Spanish Lessons per week (we don't recommend and thus don't accept students who sign up for less than 4 hours per week).

When learning or trying to improve your language skills, it is recommended to at least devote 10 hours of language learning per week. That is the minimum, but if you really want to improve quickly you should try to consistently invest 20 hours per week.

The above recommended hours include both online Spanish class time and homework/practice time on your own.

In other words, you should plan to have at least from 4 to 20 hours of Online Spanish Lessons per week.

If you would like to get the most out of your Online Spanish Lessons we recommend Google Hangouts, which has the same webcam, chat and video capabilities as Skype but will also allow us to easily share documents from our own database through Google Drive.

Google docs will allow us to both see and work on the same document in real time: any changes that you make to it, we'll also see them as they happen and viceversa. This provides us with a true interactive experience... just like being in a real classroom.

1. Open a Google Mail account if you don't already have one. If you don't please go to: https://mail.google.com/mail/
2. Installl the Video Chat plugin: http://www.google.com/chat/video
3. Add your teacher to your chat (we will give you his/her username once you have Signed Up & Registered)

Besides having Skype or Google Hangouts in your computer, you'll also need to have a working headset (ear headphones and a microphone). You can purchase one from any computer store or purchase it online through amazon or ebay.

We still offer the option to have your Online lessons over Skype as some users already have it installed on their computers and are more familiar with the program.
