Award-Winning Spanish Courses & Classes in Kansas City, MO

If you've been searching for a comprehensive Kansas City Spanish course, Varsity Tutors is the resource you have been looking for. Spanish is among the planet's most spoken languages, with over 430,000,000 speakers worldwide and climbing. It's also the most studied foreign language in the United States, and 45 million Americans speak it as either a native and secondary tongue. The language also has a strong international following, with nations like Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Mexico, and Spain using it as their primary language.

As you can see, enrolling in a Kansas City Spanish class makes a lot of sense. If you just started taking Spanish at a local high school such as Lee's Summit West High School or Park Hill High School, a beginner-level class probably makes the most sense for you. If you're more advanced and attending college courses at a local institution like Rockhurst University or the University of Missouri - Kansas City, you can take a more in-depth class. We can help you learn Spanish if you're an adult too. A career-focused individual might study the language to enhance their resume, and a person with a passion for travel might study it to get more out of trips to Spanish-speaking areas. Spanish is often called the easiest of the Romance languages for a native English speaker to learn, so you might also take it to learn French, Italian, or even Romanian down the line.

Of course, just because learning Spanish is easier doesn't mean it's easy. You need to learn a brand new vocabulary (though there are several cognates that share Latin roots), new grammar rules, and new sentence structures. For instance, did you know that Spanish nouns all have a gender? Adjectives change forms based on the gender of the nouns they're modifying, so you need to get used to asking whether a word is a boy or a girl (as strange as that sounds in English).

What skills can I work on during a Kansas City Spanish course?

One of the hardest parts of studying a new language is not having anybody to practice with. You can try listening to Spanish media such as a "beisbol" broadcast, but you have no way of verifying that your interpretation of what you're hearing is the correct one. Similarly, you can talk back to the game's announcers and expect them to acknowledge you. Taking a Kansas City Spanish class gives you a set time each week to practice your Spanish skills with a knowledgeable instructor. Any questions you have can be addressed promptly, and all of your work receives feedback so that you understand what you're doing well and where you could still improve.

Taking a formal class can also help you improve your written Spanish. For instance, your instructor might show you how to sketch an outline before you start composing a Spanish piece. Not only does this give your work a more logical flow, but your outline can also act as a reminder of the Spanish terms you planned to use and what they mean. After all, there's nothing worse than having to stop writing because you can't remember a particular Spanish phrase.

Your teacher can also help you understand the intricacies of Spanish grammar. For instance, Spanish nouns are usually masculine if they end in the letter "o" and feminine of they end in "a." There are far too many exceptions to this general rule of thumb to list here, but your instructor can help you understand when it applies and when it does not.

If your plans involve studying Spanish culture or literature in addition to the language, your instructor can help you with those as well. For example, a classroom discussion on the significance of Spain in European affairs may help an auditory learner remember all of the details. Similarly, your instructor might send you a link to an illustrative graphic to help a visual learner retain the information.

How does a Kansas City Spanish course provided by Varsity Tutors work?

Every course we provide takes place on a proprietary live virtual platform, an online classroom that allows you to see and hear both your instructor and your fellow students as if you were in the same room. They can see and hear you as well, so asking for help is as easy as raising your hand. We vet every instructor before they can teach a course, so you can trust that you are getting a skilled communicator with a passion for sharing the joys of Spanish with others.

Studying with other students also provides several benefits. Listening to them speak can familiarize you with a variety of accents and dialects, helping you prepare for the diverse range of fluent Spanish that is spoken today. You can also work together and help each other out as needed, as a peer's take on a challenging concept is often more relatable than someone's who has been speaking Spanish for years. Studying in a group also allows you to split the cost of your class, making it more affordable than you might expect. If you ever feel like you need individualized help to master a tricky concept, you also have the right to schedule private extra help sessions with your instructor on an as-needed basis.

We also try to make our classes as convenient as they can be. Everything happens online because a lot of students don't have the time to sit in traffic trying to get to a physical class. We also offer two and four-week class sessions to make it easier to find something that fits into your schedule. We also launch new classes every month, so you never need to wait too long to get started.
