Course Description

FULLY MASTER THE ESSENTIAL  STRUCTURES AND VOCABULARY IN A MATTER OF HOURS, NOT YEARS!

Learn basic communicative Spanish with the easy to follow, carefully graded method for complete beginners.

The method allows you to:

► Talk non-stop from the very start.  

► Produce thousands of practical phrases for daily use. 

► Painlessly absorb grammar and vocabulary at  A1 and A2 level.  

► Progress without effort, without the need to memorise or "study" in the traditional sense.

ALLOW YOURSELF TO BE CARRIED AWAY BY THE METHOD.

"Tell me and I will forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn ." (Benjamin Franklin)

EL MÉTODO will allow you to use and understand basic Spanish in a matter of hours, without the need for memorisation or lengthy explanations. This is achieved through a carefully designed method that builds up the language in your mind, step by step, until you are able to form relatively complex sentences with ease.

From the very start, you will be speaking and forming your own sentences, effortlessly absorbing structures without even realising it. The method guides you through basic Spanish in a motivating and stimulating way.

EL MÉTODO  does not teach you theory, it teaches you to speak Spanish and helps you achieve this in much less time than traditional methods.

LEARN NATURALLY AND RAPIDLY

In EL MÉTODO as in real life, learning is a continuous process, not a series of separate topics. Each new word or structure is preceded by a clear and precise introduction. The process continues as the students use the new word in a variety of different contexts. Repeated exposure to new words and structures over time, in a wide variety of situations and associations, means that these are acquired for life.

HOW DOES THE COURSE WORK?

EL MÉTODO, level 1, consists of 20 video lessons of spoken Spanish. After every lesson there is a series of written exercises as well an optional musical task.

We will engage you in a spoken dialogue that requires no pen and paper. Just talk, talk and talk. You won't stop speaking Spanish from start to finish. This is the ideal system for beginners to learn Spanish. 

My goal with EL MÉTODO  is for you to become "hooked" on the method thereby mastering basic Spanish as quickly as humanly possible.

Best of luck!

Instructor Details

Peter Hanley


Hi there, my name is Peter Hanley. I am so glad you have found me!

I love giving my students an exciting and rewarding experience as they take their first steps in a new language.

Over the last 25 years, I've helped over 150,000 language learners using Accelerated Learning techniques. Now I'd like you to experience the same results with THE METHOD.

THE METHOD courses provide an exciting and effective approach to language learning for beginners:  A proven method dramatically reduces the time it takes to get the basics down. By the end of the 4 levels of these courses (FRENCH/SPANISH), in as little 8 weeks from now, you will have a full understanding and a practical usage of basics.

This is achieved without the need for laborious memorisation or "study " associated with conventional courses, and will have you speaking, NON-STOP right from the word go.

I look forward to helping you reach your language goal.

To your progress,

Peter.

I can read it and write it better than saying it.

By Gymnázium Duhovka Ortenovo nám. 34/1275, on 12/14/2025

I really like the course; I enjoy it a lot, and through it, I've developed a love for Spanish. I'm excited to learn more in the upcoming courses. I appreciate the concept, structure, and the lecturer's teaching method. If I had to point out one area for improvement, it's that the sentences in the time trials are the same as in the exercises and transcripts, so it's easy to memorize the answers. Personally, I would also prefer a greater emphasis on building vocabulary for everyday conversation. I recommend Peter's courses!

By Lamees Alain on 12/5/2025

Theses courses are user friendly. The instructions are clear, and they keep you interested as you progress with the lessons. There could some benefits, if possible, to address some grammar rules, upfront certain lessons, to make it easier to follow.

By roald gjelsten on 10/21/2025

It is very good, the work they have put into this is massive, and it is worth the money. All you need is a good motivation to learn the Spanish language. No I am half way into part 3 and the structure is very good and keep you motivated.

By Terry Kristallis on 6/24/2024

I’ve done so far the first three levels of beginners level and I have to say this is a very well constructed course that keeps you engaged all the way .It is fun and very practical.I do some extra reading for more detailed grammar. Congratulations for creating an awesome course .

By Nichole Wood on 12/19/2023

love this course and the speakers. i get to hear the words in English and then translate to Spanish. it's more effective for me than that famous course that doesn't tell you what you are translating but just shows a picture. this also has the option for additional translating through spoken or written word tests. the timed testing is a bit stressful but helps sharpen skills. the only thing to improve is that building vocabulary is kind of slow. i would love to see a lesson thrown in occasionally that had items in a specific room, foods, professions, or clothing. maybe that is still to come, but I'm on level 3 lesson 15 and it hasn't happened yet.

This is a refreshing approach to learning Spanish and I cannot recommend it highly enough. It is the best money you will spend to learn the beautiful Spanish language. My wife is Colombian and we have been together 5 years. In that time I have always had a goal of learning Spanish. However, more 'traditional' means of learning the language have not worked well for me. I have tried meeting with instructors, self-teaching with 'how-to' books, etc. These all end the same; with me giving up in exasperation. That has all changed with The Method. This course is cumulative and teaches you useful words and sentence structure from the very first lesson. Peter offers detailed explanations about the 'why"behind rules of Spanish grammar. Hearing Peter's daughter( a native Spanish speaker) also helps a great deal in teaching correct pronunciation.Additionally, I am learning Latin American Spanish which has some slight differences, in the course differences between the languages are highlighted so you are able to choose which pronunciation to pursue. The rapid sense of progress you experience in the course helps motivate you to continue. My results have been amazing and I have proof that it works. I am lucky enough to be in Bogotá Colombia while taking this course, so I have been able to verify that my progress is real. I am staying with my mother-in-law and meeting with my wife's Spanish speaking family on a regular basis. I am able to communicate with them much more effectively then prior to the class. They constantly compliment me on the rapid progress and ask how I am improving so quickly. If you are learning Spanish and want a better and more efficient method of acquiring the language, one where your progress is not impeded by boring and useless classes, buy this course today and watch your Spanish level rise immediately! Thank you Peter and Jessica!

The way the lessons are presented are easy to follow and you can go back any time and review all the material without any pressure and you can take your time with it. Also I can study these lessons at any time day or night.

By Brittany J on 11/15/2020

I love these Spanish courses. I took Level 1 and 2 and am now working on 3. It's the first time I'm actually learning Spanish. The method he uses builds upon previous material in a very effective way. I'll be buying the next level after this I complete this one.
