How To Learn Spanish At Bargain Basement Prices
There are many different ways of learning Spanish. They range all the way from full-immersion training courses in Spanish-speaking countries to economical books on the subject. You can spend from several thousand dollars to less than a hundred dollars in learning costs. You can go fast or slow, take a lot of time (years) to learn, or you can learn to speak conversational Spanish in one to three months. So where do you find the bargain basement? Where can you get a "deal" on the tools to learn Spanish? What should you look for and where should you look? One-on-one instruction or classroom instruction are inherently costly. The teacher need to be paid for his or her time. Going to a Spanish-speaking country to learn takes time and costs money too. So for bargain seekers, those methods can be quickly ruled out as being too costly. The best way to learn Spanish is through interactive audio training. Excellent instructors record the lessons and the exercises, prepare the training sessions. These allow you to listen and repeat, to get the pronunciation, intonation and rhythm of speaking down correctly. Once the lessons are made, the cost of reproduction is minimal, as it is with making CD's or computer programs. So with a number of users the price comes way down. You can buy these programs in physical form, with printed books and boxes of CD's, and have them delivered to your door. However the cheapest way is to buy the digital version and just download it to your computer. You save the cost of shipping as well as that of physically making and recording the CD's and printing the books. Companies like Rocket Spanish, Learn Spanish Like Crazy, Fsi Spanish and others all offer digitally downloadable learning courses for under $100.00. Any of these would teach you to speak basic conversational Spanish, roughly equivalent to the English level you had in the sixth to eighth grade in school. Add-on courses to take you to the high-school or college level can be had for $75 to $400 more, depending on just how deeply you want to get into it. There are also quick-start basic learning programs available in the $20 - $35 price range, which would give you basic travelers' Spanish. The Spanish you need for traveling is mostly commercial, the needs of which do not require very much vocabulary. With it you could order in a restaurant, ask directions or buy things at the market. Discussing politics, philosophy, or theology or telling and understanding jokes would require more than just travelers' Spanish. However, the $100 courses would give you basic general conversational capability and a good start on these activities. And so our search for bargain basement Spanish learning courses seems to come down to digitally downloadable interactive audio courses. The place to find those are on the Internet. Just Google "learn Spanish" or some similar phrase and you will find lots of options. Look for a strong money-back guarantee - almost all of the reputable vendors will offer that. Then choose your course, download it and you can start learning immediately! And you can do that easily for around a hundred dollars or maybe even less!
