What is the difference between the Visual Link Spanish™ Course and every other course out there?
Most Spanish courses teach a lot vocabulary and grammar rules. But the problem is, when you are done with the course you still can not speak in Spanish.

The Visual Link Spanish™ course teaches you the vocabulary and grammar, but you learn it while learning to build sentences and asking and answering questions. Thus, the end result is you don't just learn the words, you learn how to use the words in everyday speech. You learn key and important questions and phrases which you can use in a real conversation with a native speaker. In short, you learn to communicate in Spanish.

UP

At what level does this course start and end?
The course starts of at a beginner's level. When you finish the course, you will be at an intermediate conversational level. You will be able to carry on a basic conversation with native speakers.

If you've never studied Spanish before, you will spend more time in the beginning lessons until you master the basics. Even in these first lessons you will already be learning how to form sentences and speak in Spanish.

More advanced users can go through the beginning lessons as a review and then quickly move on to new topics and more advanced lessons.
