Details

Cervantes Idiomas has over 10 years of experience in teaching Spanish by Spanish native speakers.
Their Program has been developed in close cooperation with the British Language Centre, a leading Adult Language Education Centre with multiple facilities and an official English Language Testing Centre for London Chamber of Commerce and Industry, TELC (The European Language Certificates) and Pearson the largest Educational company in the world (Financial Times Group).

The Natural Immersion Technique is the method they use. This means they teach you the same way you learned English. By immersing you in the language. By speaking with you clearly and elegantly. By letting you rehearse the correct sound of the entire phrase and sentence - not simply a single word at a time. It's a revolutionary way to allow you to acquire the Spanish Language effortlessly, with the grace and ease of a newborn and with unparalleled speed. Their program is based on the latest science of learning and has been tested and proven in our language programs and schools with literally thousands of students world-wide. 

Why online? By going into the minds of Native Spanish Speakers and giving you direct access to their thought and speech patterns, with video and audio streamed into the comfort of your own home, you begin to be programmed, both consciously and unconsciously into becoming masters of the Spanish Language.

"Practice makes perfect" they also practice opportunities and forums for on-line discussion in which you get to practice with Natural Spanish Speakers LIVE, this will give you a huge advantage in learning Spanish, like a native, in an immersive environment and in the least amount of time possible.

About this course
