José, heading the project embrujocastellano.es, have a large experience teaching the spanish language. Curious, tech lover, flexible, with a great sense of humour. He speaks english, portuguese and, of course, spanish. Large life experience in Latin American countries. He is specialized on spanish online teaching (using platforms such as Zoom or Skype) delivering lessons in an online environment since 2012.
His experience through Iberoamérica, based for many years in Brazil, Colombia or México, gave him the opportunity to make a deep study, not only of the own language, but also about the culture and their local expressions (slangs, different ways to talk, regionalisms, idiom meaning or technical terms).
Get to know our his methodology.
After more than 10 years of life experience in Latin América (being from Spain), and other 5 in english speaking countries, doubtless, it helps us to understand better the connexions of a such a rich language, with differents aspects, meanings, logic and sense in only one language. A multicultural experience full of anecdotes, traditions, gastronomy and so much more...

Personalized Attention.
During the lessons, the student will work on different communicative aspects, both in a specific and independent way both in an integrate and global way:
Reading (correct pronunciation and reading comprehension)
Writting (accentuation and punctuation)
Grammar (organized in a coherent order related to the lessons ́ development). A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2 levels
Specific exams preparation DELE, CCSP y SIELE
Audiovisual content: films ́pieces, dhort films, songs, etc...
Conversation and debate (with actual and cultural topics)
General and specific vocabulary as well as colloquillisms
Text analysis (aimed at those students who demand a more academic approach)
Extra exercises and homework
And much, much culture of the Spanish and Latin American countries (important for who is going to travel)
"Every language is a different way of seeing life"
Classes are PRIVATE, that is, one student and one teacher. We also offer, under request; lessons in pairs. At the beginning, each lesson lasts 1h30m ( one hour and a half) because we consider that it is the ideal duration to deal with different communicative aspects in every lesson. If it is specifically request, we can consider the option of one hour lessons.
We will use Zoom (or Skype) platform to communicate between us, and in case of having problems with the software, we have other video conference programmes options available. Due to the fact that lessons are online (and in-person in Granada), they will have strong audiovisual content, with many activities with tv videos, informative audios, podcast, short films, songs, poetry and other many surprises...
Our own didactic material is managed by ourselves and it is free, except for conversation courses. Although we do not work directly with a specific course book, we can recommend you some, depending on the student ́s profile, to use it as a support, especially if the level is beginner.
We prepare our Spanish lessons in a personalized way. We prepare previous guide notes and files to share with the student at the right time. But that fact, does not mean the lesson follows its own way, having freedom to modify its direction and working in other aspects that came up in an spontaneous way and that mean something relevant for the student. This, we think, offer very interesting speed and dynamism to an online lesson needed to guaranteed success, fulfilling with the two maximum premises: learn while having fun.
