Many Spanish language courses have been developed on the principal that the best way for a student to learn Spanish is to teach the “correct” version of that language. Many languages have a body that acts as a guardian to correct useage such as the Real Academia de la Lengua Espanola in Madrid, Spain, which makes decisions about what words and grammar may be used in “correct” Spanish.

The problem with this whole philosophy is that languages naturally evolve to their local environment and so Latin American Spanish has distinct differences to that spoken in Spain.

What’s different about this course? How will it help me learn Spanish?

Learning Spanish Like Crazy was specifically designed to overcome this problem and puts a different emphasis on the process to learn Spanish. The course, which is aimed at beginners and intermediate level concentrates on:

• Speaking and hearing the language, rather than reading - this gives you the ability to hold a conversation in Spanish much faster than other methods and is how you learned to speak English.
• Latin American pronunciation - in Spain the sounds are quite different to Latin American Spanish and will sound unfamiliar to you when speaking with Latin Americans.
• “Street” Spanish - the words and phrases that people educated at college actually use, rather than the “correct” Spanish taught in many other courses and the Real Academia de la Lengua Espanola.

Is this course right for you?

As with so many things in life, the answer to this is - it depends.

• Yes - if your aim to learn Spanish language is so you can talk with Latin Americans because of work or socially then this approach will clearly give you an advantage, as it will if you are planning a trip to South America, Mexico or the Caribbean.
• No - if your aim is not to learn to speak Spanish but to improve grammar, reading skills or you will be visiting Spain then probably you should look elsewhere. Although there will be some benefit in Learning Spanish Like Crazy there are other language courses that cover your specific requirements better.
