One Month Spanish

First time visitor?

¡Bienvenidos!

Welcome to One Month Spanish!

One Month Spanish is an accelerated self-study course is designed to improve your conversational proficiency in Spanish.

One of the key features of the course is our proprietary language learning technique, the Dialogue Deconstruction Method. This technique designed to help you hear and understand native-level spoken Spanish.

Before you begin the individual lessons, we strongly recommend starting with our tutorial that was created to help you quickly get the hang of the Dialogue Deconstruction Method.

(opens in new window)

Because we designed the entire course around this technique, it is important that you understand how to use it in order to get the most out of the course. In fact, until you understand how this works, you may find the course to be difficult or even confusing.

Once you've completed the tutorial, you'll be all set to dive into the main course!

Sincerely,

One Month Spanish Team
