Our take
Based on the ratings of 12,988 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in May 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.
Linguae Learning's Spanish course is a long video course that runs from the alphabet through past, future and continuous tenses, spread over 360 lectures in 12 sections and about 152 hours of content. More than a third of that is a bonus section that teaches Spanish through music, so the core lessons come in just under 100 hours. It is built for people starting from zero who want grammar explained, not just phrases to memorize. Around 147,000 students have enrolled, nearly 13,000 have left a rating, and the average sits at 4.7 with most ratings at five stars.
Reviewers praise the clear, step-by-step explanations and the periodic review lessons that reinforce what came before. A couple say the teaching goes deeper than a typical beginner course, explaining why one word is used over another. The complaints cluster after the first chapter. A few students say the instructor changes around lesson 40, and the new teacher speaks fast, stumbles over words and corrects mistakes on the fly rather than re-recording. One reviewer caught 'hair' pronounced as caballo (horse) instead of cabello. Others mention heavy breathing into the mic, vocabulary shown as plain text on a white screen, no downloadable notes, and captions that badly need a human pass.
The course first appeared in 2020 and was refreshed in May 2026, so it isn't stale. The lessons are slow and repetitive by design, which suits learners who want grammar to stick and frustrates anyone after a quick phrasebook. The sharpest criticism starts at Beginner Chapter 2, so the first 40 lectures are the safest bet. Anyone who can tolerate uneven audio past that point gets an enormous amount of Spanish for one purchase. Sample the preview lectures from the second chapter onward before buying, since that is where opinions split.
Pros
- Step-by-step explanations of why a word or tense is used, not just what to say
- Periodic review lessons reinforce vocabulary and grammar before moving on
- 360 lectures and about 152 hours of content, refreshed in May 2026
- Captions in 20 languages and a 4.7 rating from nearly 13,000 reviews
Cons
- Teaching quality drops after the first chapter, with a faster, less polished instructor
- Audio is uneven: heavy mic breathing, stumbles corrected on the fly, and captions that need a human check
- Vocabulary is presented as text on a white screen, with no downloadable notes to review
I took Spanish in High School 30+ years ago and didn't really use it, so I had forgotten much of what I had learned. This course is so much better than what I remember from High School.
Marked All Levels, but it is really a from-scratch course; there is no way to skip the basics if you already know some Spanish.

Course Description
Have you ever wanted to learn Spanish? With over 800 million native speakers across the globe, it’s the second most spoken language in the entire world. It’s also considered to be one of the most romantic languages! But are those enough reasons to choose to learn Spanish out of all the languages you could be learning?
To start, Spain isn’t just one of the most beautiful and historic countries in Europe, but also a global powerhouse with a significant presence in the tourist, textile, agriculture, and energy industries. Learning Spanish will not only help you as a tourist in Spain, Mexico, Argentina, and many other countries in Latin America, but also as a rising professional looking to expand and diversify your business in the global market. Not only that, but as a romance language, Spanish is very similar to the other languages in the same family such as Italian and French. Through Spanish, you would actually be able to understand speakers of those other romance languages and, if you ever chose to learn them yourself, you’d have a significant head start! Finally, it’s well-proven that learning another language can lead to many new career opportunities, whether that’s becoming a more attractive candidate, or qualifying for a promotion at your current position.

I appreciate the good work. Agradezco el trabajo increíble. عاش عليكم وشكرا جدا
By PJ T on 8/14/2026
The teacher kept referring to “hair” as caballo instead of cabello. In the first lesson, the word is written as cabello, but she pronounced it as caballo. Then, in the review lesson, the word for “hair” is actually spelled and pronounced as caballo, which means “horse.”
By Sayak Ganguly on 7/21/2026
Very insightful, polite and one step at a time into the whole learning process
By Sarah Hansen on 6/30/2026
I like how she draws out details about the language even with basic concepts such as greetings you learn more than just the greetings.

A great instructor. She speaks very clearly and explains concepts effectively
By Justin Palmer on 6/3/2026
Each lesson so far (I just finished the alphabet lesson) is at a nice, easy to learn pace. It is nice to learn two different forms of Spanish but sometimes my brain confuses itself on pronunciation.
