Advanced Spanish

Take your Spanish to the next level and speak like a native

Course Description

 In the beginner course, you build a solid foundation and become conversational in Spanish. This course will take your Spanish from an intermediate level to an advanced level.

If you have never taken a Spanish course and have limited knowledge of Spanish this course is not for you, you'll want to start with the beginner course. If you have taken the beginner course this is the course you'll want to graduate to. If you haven't taken the beginner course but are conversational, know how to conjugate the basic forms of verbs (present, past, and future), know the pronouns (yo, tú, ud., él, ella, etc,) and have a basic foundation in Spanish and are wanting to take your Spanish to the next level this is your course. This course will take you to an advanced level of Spanish in the following ways:


- Your understanding of Spanish will be greater as you learn more advanced rules for the parts of speech for the Spanish you already know and Spanish you've yet been taught. Native speakers will be impressed!

- You'll learn the special uses of common words you've already learned in your Spanish journey. There will be no more confusion about the different meanings of a single word.

- In my beginner course, you learned the cognates (words that are practically identical in spelling and meaning in Spanish and English). In this course, you'll learn the false cognates (words that are almost identical in Spanish and English but don't carry the same meaning whatsoever.)

- There are quizzes and vocabulary lessons spread throughout the course. Therefore, you'll continue to learn the most common vocabulary and verbs spoken in everyday Spanish and be tested to see if you're grasping all the material.

- You'll learn what stem-changing verbs/boot verbs are and how they change. You'll also learn the command form of verbs (which doesn't exist in English).

- The second most important overall thing you'll learn is the Spanish subjunctive. The subjunctive is probably the hardest thing for us English speakers to wrap our heads around, in this course I'll definitely simplify that for you.

- And the most important thing about the course... if you took my beginner course you know how my approach to learning Spanish really does make it simple, soooo the most important thing about this course is that even these more complex concepts of the Spanish language are still taught in a simple step by step fashion that anybody can grasp!

Mark Barnes

Before I was 20 years old I didn't know any Spanish, I bombed my 1 year of French in high school and thought I’d never be able to learn a second language. When I was 20 I took a 2-month crash course in Spanish and went to Mexico for two years where I continued to self-teach and mastered the Spanish language.  Now, I’ve been speaking Spanish since 2002. I’m a member of the American Association of Teachers of Spanish and Portuguese.  I translated a couple hundred-page book from Spanish to English for a Venezuelan author.  I was the interpreter for a couple of landscape companies in Las Vegas and ran a business of my own in Spanish being that my employees were Spanish speakers.  Over the years I've had many requests asking me if I can teach others Spanish like I speak it.  From these requests Spanish Made Simple was born.  I've taken the concepts of how I learned and mastered Spanish and have simplified them so that those who take my courses will become conversational and fluent in Spanish in a simple step-by-step fashion and much faster.

We're a little biased but here's what students are saying...

 "I have learned Spanish through Rosetta Stone, but this course definitely gives you the more authentic Spanish that is spoken by natives. I highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to take their Spanish to the next level." 

Donta W.

 "Very clear explanations. I am fluent, I lived in Central America for 10 years, and it is wonderful to finally get explanations of the things I knew were weird but didn't know why. Super helpful!" 

Sara L.

 "Nice learning pace, really clear explanations ( I finally understand the logic of some things I knew from before but had no idea why they are formulated a certain way), also very interesting to note the differences between the Spanish of Spain, and that of the Americas. " 

Robert M.

 "As someone who is trying to develop a full working proficiency of Spanish, this was an excellent course. It highlights all of the little things that are very hard to learn unless you are bilingual and know how things "sound"" 

Lori L.

 "Excellent course! This course is perfect for an advanced-intermediate Spanish speaker such as myself that can communicate in Spanish but needs to clean up some grammatical errors and progress into more advanced grammar and vocabulary." 

Nicholas S.

 "It is a good match for me because what I need help with is making correct syntax or details to say it like a native speaker.  I appreciate the examples with each specific rule."
