​Spanish for Advanced Beginners (A1)

You can start your A1-level roadmap with either True Beginners or Advanced Beginners — both are part of the complete A1 foundation. Many students choose based on their schedule or comfort level, and our instructors help ensure you’re prepared for A2 once both are complete.

Course Description

This 20-hour group course will help you expand your vocabulary, improve sentence structure, and gain confidence in conversations through cultural immersion in Puerto Rico.

✔ Strengthen grammar skills and expand your vocabulary

Weekly Topics

Our immersive communicative approach means you’ll be speaking Spanish from day one. Classes are taught almost entirely in Spanish to maximize your exposure and fluency. We follow a Flipped Classroom model, so you’ll review short materials at home before each session, leaving class time for real conversation and guided practice.

Student Testimonial

I had no Spanish experience prior to starting starting classes and have learned so much with Work-Life Spanish. I took two classes and now am doing online tutoring because of my work schedule. The classes were well organized, supportive and fun while also maximizing learning. I highly recommend Work-Life Spanish!
