Los Angeles is a fantastic city in which to learn Spanish. The city has a very large and active Spanish-speaking community, so it is easy to find the opportunity to practise – in 2007 a survey found 48.5% of the total population were Hispanic or Latino! Not really surprising in a city with a Spanish name – ‘Los Angeles’, ‘The Angels’.

There a few ways you could go about studying Spanish in Los Angeles. One option is of course to go to shared classes in one of Los Angeles’s many Spanish academies, your second choice is to learn from a high quality Spanish home-study course.

Students often discover that with Spanish schools in Los Angeles, the actual attention and time the teachers give to individual students is reduced because they have to share their time with 10 or twenty other students. Also, classes inevitably slow down to the speed of the slowest students, which can be unfair on students who want to learn at a faster pace. This situation is unfortunately unavoidably in Los Angeles’s Spanish schools as teachers have an obligation to give as much time and attention to each student as they need, and slower students need more time and attention.

So if you do decide to choose one of Los Angeles’d Spanish language schools to study 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.

Your second option is to learn from a good Spanish home-study course. Just as there are plenty of good Spanish academies in Los Angeles there are also plenty of very high quality home-study courses. Studying from home is much more comfortable and easy to keep up with consistently, while the home-study courses are also a fraction of the price of classroom-based lessons. You could do lessons at home or as you travel to and from work every day!
