Whether you're taking your first classes at Central High School, deepening your understanding at Rhodes College, refreshing your skills on your own, or trying to gain a competitive edge for your career, the Varsity Tutors Memphis Spanish course offers a variety of ways to supplement your learning as you work toward Spanish mastery.
With a specific curriculum and predetermined course objectives, traditional classrooms don't always have the flexibility to individualize instruction to meet your needs. There's typically not enough time for a teacher or professor to address all your questions or help you find the "ah-ha" connection that can be the key to unlocking your understanding.
Successful language learners know that mastery requires work beyond concepts taught either in classroom instruction or in self-paced independent courses. Developing solid study habits, having opportunities to practice, and connecting the new language to what you already know are all important - and are all examples of things a Memphis Spanish class can help you with.
These days, Spanish is the second-most spoken language both in the U.S. and in the world. Some estimates predict that by 2050, Spanish will be the first language for half of the U.S. population. Recently, Spanish content on the Internet has increased by leaps and bounds, making it the third-most used language online.
Spoken in more than 120 countries, learning Spanish can make travel more enjoyable, providing a cultural passport that will help you get where you want to go, learn about an area's cultural heritage, enjoy local food and drink, and connect with people living in the place you're visiting. Knowing a host country's language is both polite and savvy. Whether you want to ask about something on a restaurant menu or make small talk at a party, being able to say "What is your kitchen's specialty?" in Spanish can impress your hosts and reflect well on you.
In addition, people who want to thrive in the global economy know that being able to reach across cultures is good for business. Whether your workplace is expanding into new markets, developing partnerships with organizations from Spanish-speaking countries, or setting the stage to meet the needs of the growing Spanish-speaking population in the U.S., achieving fluency can show your ability to see the bigger picture and anticipate future opportunities.
What kind of skills can you develop in the Memphis Spanish course?
Although learning any language will stretch your mind, Spanish is considered the easiest language for English speakers to learn. Whether you know it or not, you are already familiar with a number of Spanish words. The names of nine U.S. states, including California, Colorado, Florida, and Montana, are Spanish words. Environmental terms like 'breeze' or 'canyon' are also derived from Spanish words. From animals like 'alligators,' to places like 'patios,' to consignments of 'cargo' - Spanish words are peppered throughout the English language.
Even though many Spanish vocabulary words are used in English, learning how a language works is necessary if you want to communicate understandably.
Spanish uses some conventions that can challenge English speakers. For example, Spanish nouns are gendered. Those ending in "o" are usually masculine, and those ending with "a" are typically feminine. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule, and these non-conformist nouns must be committed to memory. Verbs have six different tenses depending on who you are talking to or how many people you are discussing.
There are formal and informal ways to address a person. Unless you know the difference, you may run the risk of making a poor impression in an exchange with a Spanish-speaking person, or - worse - making a disrespectful mistake when addressing a potential Spanish-speaking business contact or client.
How does the Memphis Spanish course work?
This course is designed to help you develop the comprehension skills you need to smoothly navigate these tricky situations. A course can enhance your understanding of language mechanics like spelling, grammar, punctuation, and pronunciation of Spanish letters and letter combinations. For further insight, the course may cover a range of topics from broad concepts, like the history or traditions of particular Spanish-speaking countries, all the way down to crucial details, like which syllable is accented in words that have the exact same spelling but vastly different meanings.
Delivered exclusively online, a Memphis Spanish class provides a virtual environment where you'll be able to see, hear, and interact with your instructor and fellow classmates as if you were in the same room together. Meeting online saves time and money while eliminating transportation hassles. You will have the freedom to study in the comfort of your home or wherever you learn best. Multiple sections start monthly and you can choose to enroll in sessions lasting two or four weeks.
Getting the customized assistance that you need can vastly improve your Spanish learning experience. In a Memphis Spanish class, a variety of engagement techniques and methods can uncover your strengths and identify opportunities to improve your skills. Your instructor can help you leverage your learning style, whether you retain and remember best by using visuals like flashcards, auditory and verbal methods like speaking and listening, or by using tactile means like movement or tangible objects. You'll have time to get answers to your specific questions and learn background information and contextual explanations that can solidify what you learn.
With a course, you can benefit from interacting with fellow language learners who may be facing some of the same challenges as you, and whose experiences and insights can enhance your own comprehension. The interactive course environment gives you the opportunity to engage in discussions and practice conversation skills with other classmates in a casual, low-stress environment. If there are specific concepts that you find particularly difficult, you can request a private meeting with your instructor to work through the issues in a one-on-one environment.
How can I get started?
Learning a language can be challenging. Finding and tapping into your best study strengths, getting answers to your questions, or practicing with others can unlock your potential for success. Contact Varsity Tutors to get more information about what the Memphis Spanish course covers, current class options, and how to enroll to get on the road to a better understanding of Spanish.

Sometimes, it's something as simple as having it explained in a simpler way. Simply learning how to wade through a professors jargon can do wonders for a student. In the end, the goal of my tutoring is to provide outstanding service, but most importantly,...

I am a third year student at the University of Memphis studying biomedical engineering, but in my free time I enjoy a variety of hobbies including running, kayaking, climbing, violin, guitar, and singing with my two younger sisters. This year I was the assistive devices intern at LeBonhuer Children's hospital customizing everyday items for kids with special needs. Previously, I have privately tutored different students in topics from paper editing to differential equations.... Make the material relatable to real world experiences. Often the best first step is to give a very broad purpose to the material, and then break the concepts into small steps before approaching the question as asked.
