Level A1 · Beginner

Spanish A1 Online – Starting From Scratch

A calm, structured start: you learn to introduce yourself, order, shop and talk about your daily life — speaking from the very first lesson.

A1 decides whether Spanish feels fun or frustrating. That is why we build the foundations slowly but with plenty of speaking: simple sentences you can use straight away, instead of memorising rules.

I am Cecilia Mateo, a native Spanish teacher living in Spain, with more than ten years of experience teaching adults, and an accredited DELE examiner. In one-to-one lessons you set the pace, even if you have never said a word in Spanish.

What you will achieve

Real sentences from lesson one

You speak from the start rather than reading vocabulary lists.

Pronunciation right from the beginning

We fix sounds and stress before habits settle in.

No group pressure

Ask as often as you like; nothing moves faster than you do.

A clear structure

Topics build on each other so you can feel the progress.

  • Complete beginners with no previous Spanish.
  • Learners who started with apps and now want to speak.
