Studying Spanish in London

There are loads of Spanish schools in London, but boy are they expensive! And you have to travel across London two or three nights a week to attend them. London is a fantastic city to learn Spanish in, but as you know it’s a huge place and these central Spanish classes are often overcrowded. It can also be a pain to travel too and from classes after an already long day at work and unfortunately a big reason for student drop-out of London Spanish classes is the extra effort needed for this. So it’s well-worth looking at all the different ways you can go about learning Spanish in London.

You have a number of options to study Spanish in London. One choice is of course to go to shared classes in one of London’s many Spanish academies, and the second option is a good home-study Spanish course.

Students often find that with Spanish academies in London, the time and attention the Spanish teachers have to focus on you personally is reduced because their attention is divided between 10 or 20 other students.

Also, classes inevitably slow down to the pace of the slowest students, which can be unfair on students who want to study at a faster speed. This situation is unfortunately unavoidably in London’s Spanish academies as teachers have an obligation to give as much attention to each student as they need, and slower students need more attention.

So if you opt for a Spanish school in London to study your Spanish in, make sure that you choose a school which has a strict policy of keeping classes going at a good pace, and removing students who do not attend or keep up.

An option you might find better for you is to study Spanish at your own speed from a good home-study course. London has many high quality home-study Spanish courses available and for good value. The home-study courses save you money and time travelling to and from classes, as you could learn in the comfort of your own home. You could do lessons at home or as you travel to and from work every day!

Whether you go for home-study lessons or classroom lessons, It’s a great idea to learn Spanish in London because of the city’s ever-growing Spanish speaking community. Because of this it won’t be hard for you to find a native-Spanish speaking conversation partner to help you practise your new found language (this is very highly recommended to get you used to using your SPanish with native speakers).

And of course, a result of the growing number of Spanish speakers in London is that employers are increasingly looking for employees who could speak Spanish. so if you’re searching for employment, or even looking to improve your prospects of promotion, studying Spanish will definitely help to give you an edge over the competition in London’s tough job market.

Following the Spanish civil war many people came to London from Spain to settle in 1936-9 and by the end of the Second World War a new Spanish quarter had developed in North Kensington and Victoria. Today there are Spanish communities dotted throughout London. And there are also large communities from most Spanish-speaking countries in South America. So it’s a city filled with Spanish speakers – go out and discover your new language in London!
