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 frases for daily use.
► Painlessly absorb grammar and vocabulary at A1 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 forming your own sentences, effortlessly absorbing structures without even realizing 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!

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.

Today, i completed Level 4 of Spanish for Beginners. Peter has developed a learning structure that is easy to follow that allows me to progress steadily in learning the Spanish language in my own time. Each bite-size lesson builds onto the next and over the last 12 months, i was able to speak quite confidently to Spanish natives in Benalmadena this year. My confidence has grown in learning the Spanish language, all thanks to Peter and his daughter, and i wish to continue learning Spanish via the Intermediate course, in January 2024. I am looking forward to it. PS. If anyone is unsure of whether or not to choose this course, please don't hesitate, you've come to the right place. Cheers

I can’t put in words how much I love this course. Learning a language has never been that much fun and I’ve never ever made such great progress. I know I’m still a beginner and there’s a long but very exciting way ahead of me, but I’ve been doing this course for weeks now and only missed doing it on two days. But the structure is so simple and yet clever. Lessin Learning Spanish now is a part of my day to day routine and I just really enjoy it. It’s something I do for myself, knowing it’ll allow me to connect to a huge group of people on this planet in the future. Learning & speaking a foreign language just feels so rewarding. Thank you so much Peter (and Jessica) for this fabulous course and the time you invested to make sure thousands of people want to spend their time with one of the most wonderful and temperamental languages in the world. Tomorrow I will start the first lesson on the intermediate course and I’m soooo excited.

Since El Metodo was my first interaction with Spanish, I can't say something like "this is the best Spanish course I've tried" because I don't have a frame of reference. However, from my experience learning English and French, I can confidently say that I've never been able to grasp the basics of a languange so seamlessly. If you're trying to learn Spanish from scratch, El Metodo is the place to start!

I had to figure out what level I was at since I speak some basic Spanish. Also I think I have to get flashcards, I will never remember all the vocab even going through it a few times
By Mark Kiermayer on 8/5/2020
Great course! Also, very happy they updated the course and included time trials all the way thru!
