It’s February, so time for the semi-annual ‘FREE One-to-One Spanish Lesson’ offer!

This week our sister site, NativeSpeakerTeachers.com, is giving away FREE ONE-TO-ONE SPANISH LESSONS (the offer is for new students only.)

This is a promotion they do twice a year when things are otherwise quiet – the last one was in November 2021 and the next one will be in November 2022.

Twice a year they aim to give away a hundred and fifty free online lessons, normally priced at £20 each.

Try an online lesson (via Skype or Zoom) with one of their native-speaker teachers, at a cost of exactly ZERO.

You don’t have to buy a lesson to get one free, they won’t even ask for your card details – all they need to organise your lesson is your email address, so their teaching management assistant can contact you to organise your lesson.

It’s a genuinely-free offer!

N.B. This promotion is for new students only. The free trial lesson offer is limited to one lesson per person.

To claim your FREE trial one-to-one lesson, follow these links to the online shop:

Free Spanish Lesson | Catalog

Once they’ve received your order (there’s no payment stage, don’t worry), their teaching management assistant will contact you to find out what your needs and preferences are and, importantly, WHEN you’d like to do your free lesson.

That could take a few hours, or as long as a day or two, so be patient. If you don’t see an email from their team in your inbox, please check the spam/junk folders before writing to them. 

N.b. There’s no rush to do the free trial lesson, which doesn’t have to be this week – the offer ends on Sunday night (Feb. 20th 2022), but that’s just a promotional deadline, not a limit for actually doing the lesson.

• The Free Trial One-to-One Spanish Lesson offer ends on Sunday, 20/02/22
• No need to actually DO the lesson this week, just ‘order’ it
• Remember: this offer is for NEW STUDENTS ONLY
• If you ordered a free trial last time but didn’t take it – do try again!
• But if you’ve already done a free trial in the past, sorry…
• After completing your lesson, you’ll be sent a 15% discount coupon

• This website, OnlineSpanishClub.com has FREE material for learning Spanish at any level
• DontSpeakSpanish.comis a FREE online beginners’ course comprising fifty or so pages of grammar explanations, exercises, vocabulary lists and listening practice… It’s also ours!
• And not to forget our online shop, which features ebooks for learning Spanish and online lessons with a friendly native-speaker teacher (you can try one FREE, details next week, remember?)

¡Hasta luego!

Learning Spanish?

Then you’ll need to write Spanish characters on your various devices – computer, tablet, smartphone and so on – even if it’s only for instant messaging!

And that can be a pain.

I’m writing this in English, on a computer with an Italian keyboard.

That doesn’t present a problem, as I’m used to it.

But when I switch to the ESP (Spanish) keyboard option, via the icon in the Windows 10 taskbar at the bottom of the screen, what is printed on the computer keys doesn’t always match what I need to type.

There’s that weird upside-down ¿ for example.

And the ñ with the little thingy on top.

Not to mention the ç which looks like it’s running away…

Where are the Spanish characters on my keyboard??

First I have to make sure that I’ve added the Spanish keyboard to whichever device I want to use to write with.

If you haven’t, Google how to do that…

Then I make sure I’ve actually selected the right keyboard, which isn’t usually hard but is easy to forget.

What I should see then, when I type (irrespective of what’s actually written on the keys), is something like this:

And now?

Now, what I plan to do is print out that image and keep it by my computer as I study, highlighting any characters that give me trouble as I go on learning Spanish.

I was on holiday in Spain a couple of times, and learnt to say ‘uno, dos, tres’ but not much more.

That was several decades back, and since then… ‘nada’.

But now?

The world is a smaller place, and Spanish is everywhere!

Moreover, I live in Italy and have more or less mastered Italian.

Spanish is SO similar to Italian in many respects that it seems a shame not to make the effort to learn some.

So, the plan is to make use of some of the great resources now available on the Internet.

I’ll link to the most useful resources from here.

There may also be occasional articles with study tips, and summaries of what I’m learning…
