I show you the structure. You see how a thought in English becomes a sentence in Spanish.
No unnecessary grammar. You understand why we say it this way. You see examples in different contexts, then build your own sentences.
Creator of the method
Hi, I'm Tomas Libas.
13years in accelerated learning
11years teaching languages
10 000+students and course participants
5languages learned independently
I have worked in accelerated learning for 13 years and taught languages for 11 years. More than 10,000 students have taken my lessons and courses. I taught myself five languages, even though I showed no particular talent for languages as a child.
At the Polyglot ConferenceTo be honest, at school and university I hated learning languages. I was told I had no talent for it. Traditional methods were boring and ineffective, and progress was so slow that I lost all interest.
After seven years of German at school, I still could barely put a few sentences together. After one semester of French at university, I wanted nothing more to do with the teacher or the textbook.
I had started to believe that language learning meant dry repetition, and simply wasn't for me.
The turning point
I found other approaches, and in just three months I could communicate quite well in Spanish and Italian.
I began using what I had learned to teach others. The results surprised my students as much as they surprised me. When we removed the unnecessary steps and even beginners started speaking from the very first moments, their progress improved dramatically.
Over 11 years of teaching, I refined my own method while working with thousands of people, often older adults who had never seriously studied a foreign language. That is how Speak Spanish™ was born.
