Museum of Knowledge tips: How to learn Spanish by yourself

The challenge of learning a language such as Spanish is renown with many students unable to access suitable tuition for various reasons;

Cost

Time

Location

Cost

Language learning can be a very expensive discipline and these high costs can hinder the potential success of students. The Museum of Knowledge team suggests that language learners who wish to learn Spanish bear this in mind when undertaking Spanish language courses. Language learning is expensive because it covers so many disciplines. To be competent in a new language such as Spanish, students must master four areas of expertise; reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. This is from where the challenge derives as well as what is sometimes known to be from where the high associated costs derive.

The Museum of Knowledge offers a range of courses for both intermediate and advanced levels at various price points. Language learners who wish to learn Spanish can decide which area they would like to master, in which language and during which timeframe. Spanish language courses highlighted on the Museum of Knowledge programme are divided into reading, writing, listening and speaking over a 30 day or 60 day period. This gives language learners who wish to learn Spanish the greatest level flexibility and scope for growth as they develop their Spanish language skills.

Time

Learning a language such as Spanish takes time and dedication. Of course students who are still in school or University may find that their support network offers them the ability to dedicate the appropriate amount of time to learn Spanish especially as in the end they are working towards an examination result or some other clearly defined goal. For those who are not studying Spanish in a traditional institution, as long as a minimum of five hours a week is allocated towards language learning an individual can learn Spanish independently. This requires of course more than anything else a tremendous amount of discipline.

Location

In some cases having access to Spanish language tutors has always been problematic for those who are unable to travel abroad to take advantage of learning a language with the indigenous population where the language is spoken. So for someone who wishes to learn Spanish, it may not be practical to travel to Spain nor to Central or South America for various reasons including but not limited to time, financial capacity and the distance between the learner’s home and the location of the Spanish language tutor.

To counteract this problem, the Museum of Knowledge offers tailor made online courses. Online courses can be taken at the student’s leisure, morning noon or night with the only exception being tuition offered in the Advanced language learning classes for the Professional and Executive programmes whereby a monitored session is required on a regular basis throughout the language tuition period with a professional Museum of Knowledge linguist. These Museum of Knowledge Spanish language courses sessions include marketing and examination for all registered Spanish language learners.

The remainder of the Museum of Knowledge Spanish language learning programme also however offers great flexibility, enabling Spanish language learners to fit the museum’s modules into their education at a time that suits them and not be hindered by the location of the tutor. As the majority of the Museum of Knowledge courses are conducted online, location is no longer an issue together with which, advances in technology and the option for VOIP recordings enables tutors and students to communicate across borders.

Why is Spanish a useful language to learn?

Spanish is derived from Latin as English is from French. Learning Spanish will boost your vocabulary so you can familiarize yourself with words taken from everyday use in English. The opinion of the Museum of Knowledge team is that Spanish is so useful because it is widely spoken in the majority of Latin America including South America, Central America as well as in parts of the Caribbean. It is also an important language for trade with these key countries.

The Spanish language has many rich features with languages learners able to enjoy the many accents spoke around Spain, South American, the Caribbean and also Central America. Language learners can enjoy practising to speed for Colombia and at a more sower pace in Chile. Every country has a different pace when spoken verbally and the Museum of Knowledge aims to enable language learners to be equipped for the differences.

What are the Benefits of Learning Spanish?

The Museum of Knowledge team, experts in Modern Language Learning for Business, is often asked what are the benefits of learning Spanish for business? Spanish may be the best choice as a secondary language because of its growing importance in commerce across Latin America and Spain. Spanish is phonetic; therefore, it is an accessible language with words easier to pronounce compared with other languages. In Spanish, what you read on paper is pretty much what you pronounce.

There is also a huge demand for Spanish speakers particularly in hospitality, construction, management and multimedia businesses. Large corporations are realizing the increased importance of Spanish as a business language. To date, Spanish is spoken in 20 countries and 44 countries have at least 3 million Spanish speakers.
