Recorded lessons, your timetable

Every course is a set of recorded video lessons with downloadable worksheets and audio. There is no class to attend and no teacher waiting on a call: you open a lesson when the day allows, and we answer your questions in writing.

Two lessons a day, five days a week

This is the pace the courses are built around. It fits before work, after the school run or with the second coffee — and it leaves the weekend free.

  1. MonLunes Lesson 1 Lesson 2
  2. TueMartes Lesson 1 Lesson 2
  3. WedMiércoles Lesson 1 Lesson 2
  4. ThuJueves Lesson 1 Lesson 2
  5. FriViernes Lesson 1 Lesson 2
  6. SatSábado

    Catch up if the week got busy.

  7. SunDomingo

    Rest — or play the audio drills on a walk.

≈ 25minutes a day

Ten lessons a week. Miss a day and nothing is lost: the lessons wait for you, and the Saturday slot is there to catch up. At this pace, one level course takes about:

Una lección

What is inside each lesson

Every lesson has the same five parts, in the same order, so you always know what comes next.

  1. The video 12 min

    A short recorded lesson built around one real situation: the phrases, why they work, and how people here actually say them.

  2. The transcript

    Everything said in the video, written out, so you can read along or look something up again without scrubbing through the recording.

  3. 20 audio drills

    Question, pause, answer. You say it out loud in the pause, then hear it said correctly. Downloadable, so they work in the car or on a walk.

  4. The worksheet PDF

    A printable PDF with the key language of the lesson: print it, stick it on the fridge, keep it.

  5. 5 exercises with answers

    Short written exercises to check yourself, with the answer key right after, so you know straight away what stuck.

One lesson, start to finish, fits in a coffee break. Two of them make the day's 25 minutes.
