Chicago Conversational Spanish Tutoring FAQ
After English, Spanish is the most commonly spoken language in the US. It's the main language spoken in 21 countries around the world, and there's a good chance that you will meet and interact with Spanish-speaking individuals at some point in your life. If you reached this page by searching for, "conversational Spanish tutoring near me," you've made it to the right place. Varsity Tutors can connect you with quality conversational Spanish tutoring in your area to help you learn the language at your pace while focusing on the vocabulary you most want to learn.
There are many excellent reasons to learn conversational Spanish, some of which are listed below:
It's similar to English and possibly the easiest language for American English speakers to learn
Make new friends and share their culture
Understand lyrics to popular Spanish songs, and watch Spanish TV or movies without needing subtitles
Improve your job prospects as many companies desire bilingual Spanish speakers
Keep your brain active and young while improving cognitive skills
Many people attempt to learn Spanish by using online tools or books, or by taking classes through school or community programs. These are both helpful, but the most effective way to learn any new language is to use it in a natural setting on a regular basis. Working with a private conversational Spanish tutor who's fluent in the language, possibly even a native speaker, gives you the opportunity to use the language right from your first lesson. After you've built up enough vocabulary, your tutor may even conduct your lessons entirely in Spanish.
Conversational Spanish tutoring puts you in the driver's seat. You decide which specialized vocabulary you want to learn in addition to conversation basics, whether you want to know how to talk about engineering, art and music, or business and finance. Your tutor's focus is you and your needs for the entire lesson, meaning you may be able to learn Spanish much more quickly than in a classroom setting.
Your conversational Spanish tutor can also assist you with pronunciation. Rather than moving on before you have your pronunciation perfected, they can spend the time you need on each aspect before moving ahead. This individualized focus benefits you in vocabulary learning and retention.
You can work with Varsity Tutors to find a conversational Spanish tutor who meets your scheduling needs, as well. To get started learning conversational Spanish today, contact Varsity Tutors.
