Let’s be honest, if you’re at home diligently practicing social distancing for the good of the current world, there are only so many Netflix series you can binge-watch before your brain and body start to revolt. If eating chips off your chest while watching Breaking Bad for the third time just isn’t cutting it for you anymore, why not consider the benefits online Spanish courses with Tico Lingo?
Flexible Schedule

Personalized Attention
Online courses give you one-on-one time with your teacher. Instead of following a strict syllabus, lessons are set to go at the students pace. This actually helped me learn faster and focus in on the areas I felt I struggled with most. Whether it was verb conjugations, pronunciation, or complex gramma topics like the subjuntive or conditional tenses, I was always abe to really cater each class to the areas I wanted to.
Improve Self Discipline
Learning a new language is difficult and requires a lot of self-discipline. Taking a course online, without the motivation of other students or the reality of traveling to a school, will help give you the discipline needed to learn a new language.
When I first got started, I found myself wanted to cancel every class! Without the peer pressure from friends or other classmates, I found it so so hard to spend the time to study and take classes. Eventually though, I realized that acquiring Spanish fluency was my missions and I was never going to accomplish that mission without having a bit of self discipline to stay focused on my task. Over a 4 month period of taking online Spanish classes, I developed a real sense of self-discipline! I was the only one there to motivate myself and I learned a lot about how to do that.

Emphasize Speaking

I struggled with sentence structure and pronunciation and realized that, without visual cues and body language, many native speakers couldn’t understand me! The online classes I took helped me really focus on the oral aspect of the language. I practiced replicating the sounds I heard from my teacher and mastering my pronunciation.
Feel More Comfortable
For some students, interacting online is more comfortable. Because the classes were private, I found that I developed a great relationship with my teacher. Over the months that we worked together we began to develop a real friendship. We connected on Whatsapp and I often share with her funny photos of my life and my struggles with Spanish! Likewise, on those days I just did not feel like getting off the counch, I logged into our classes with audio-only and worked with my teacher sin video. It worked well everytime!
