Varsity Tutors is a powerful resource capable of helping nearly any student find the professional Boulder Spanish lessons they need to pursue their goals. Spanish is the second-most spoken language in the world (to Mandarin Chinese) and in the United States (to English), clocking in at 430 million and 45 million total speakers, respectively. Spanish is also a world language, spoken in Europe, North America, South America, Latin America, and the Caribbean. If you want to study a language that carries plenty of potential use cases, Spanish could be for you.
With so many Spanish speakers, there's really no bad reason to learn it. Students at local schools such as Fairview High School, Boulder High School, and the University of Colorado Boulder may take it to fulfill their foreign language requirements. Working professionals may study it to cultivate potentially lucrative contacts in the Spanish-speaking world. Travelers can go to a lot of exciting locales that speak Spanish, and it can also be used as an entry point to other Romantic languages such as Portuguese and French. Some students just study a new language for the academic challenge it offers.
Make no mistake: learning Spanish can be hard for a native English speaker. The two languages share similar grammatical structures, but there are enough differences that you still need to learn a brand new linguistic paradigm. Latin is also at the root of both languages, meaning that words are often similar in sound and meaning. That said, "false cognates" (words that sound the same but have completely different definitions) can make learning new vocabulary a challenge. If you're ready to start working with a knowledgeable Boulder Spanish tutor today, contact us to get the process started.
What skills can I review during my Boulder Spanish lessons?
Lack of a practice partner is one of the most common barriers for people trying to study a foreign language. While it's easy enough to listen to Spanish media with modern technology, true immersion requires you to speak and receive feedback on your language skills. If you work with a Boulder Spanish tutor, you'll have the opportunity to do exactly that. If you mess up a word's pronunciation or grammatical structure, your instructor can point out your mistake without attacking you, making it easier to learn from. Your teacher can also answer any questions you may have, allowing any learning obstacles to be tackled head-on.
Working with a private instructor can also help you improve your written Spanish abilities. Many students compose outlines to write more effective essays in their English and social studies classes, but the technique can improve your Spanish language compositions as well. Your instructor can also review your written work, identifying areas of strength to improve your self-confidence as well as areas of opportunity that could benefit from further review.
Spanish also has several rules that just seem wrong in English. Every noun is assigned a gender (either masculine or feminine), typically based on whether it ends in an "o" (masculine) or an "a" (feminine). Adjectives adopt different forms depending on the gender of the noun they modify, so you really need to know which words fall under each category. There are some unique words in the mix, so you'll need to devote some time to rote memorization as well.
If your Spanish studies include some kind of culture or history component, they will probably demand a completely different approach than the rest of the language. If you're a visual learner, flashcards might help you learn proper nouns associated with Spain's history. If you're more of an auditory student, oral repetition may be a more effective means of expanding your historical knowledge base.
How do the Boulder Spanish lessons offered by Varsity Tutors work?
We can set you up with two different services: an online class or one-on-one tutoring. If you opt to take an online class, you'll study on our exclusive live virtual platform with other students. Your instructor will have been thoroughly vetted by Varsity Tutors, so you can trust that you're working with a great communicator who knows how to share their extensive knowledge of Spanish with other people. Your teacher is also available for private study time outside of your usual class hours, allowing you to get personalized extra help on an as-needed basis.
Our platform allows you to interact with your peers just as easily as your teacher. You can hear them speak, giving you experience with more accents and dialects than any one teacher could provide. You can also complete group assignments to approach things in new ways. For example, another student's mnemonic device for remembering how to conjugate an irregular verb could help you remember it moving forward. Sharing your classroom also allows you to share the bill, giving you way more value for your money than you could get studying alone.
If you would prefer a more individualized study experience, working with a private Boulder Spanish tutor may make more sense for you. A private educator can adapt their teaching methods to your preferred learning style, helping you improve your study efficiency. You can also study at your own pace, whether that means moving more quickly to keep sessions engaging or slowing things down to develop a fuller understanding of key concepts.
We also try to make all of our products as convenient as we can. If you take an online course, you'll have your choice of two and four-week options to make it easier to find something that works for you. We also start new courses every month, so it's always a good time to get started. If you prefer private instruction, you can study on our convenient Live Learning Platform to take the hassle out of face-to-face sessions. If you would rather meet in person, we can connect you with somebody in the Boulder area who can meet whenever and wherever you want. The choice is up to you.

I can help break down complex, abstract subjects into manageable pieces to create the building blocks needed for learning.
