      Jose is very patient and he makes lessons interesting. He's very encouraging and if you start the lesson feeling nervous, he sets you at ease and gives you the confidence to speak and ask questions. Love my classes with him, and I can't wait to be fluent enough to have a whole conversation with him in Spanish!

      Frequently asked questions

      There’s a lot to learn when it comes to Spanish grammar, but here are 5 basic rules:

       

      1. Spanish nouns almost always need an article in front of them.

      You can say el niño (a boy) or un niño, but not just niño.

       

      1. Spanish nouns and adjectives must agree in number with the nouns.

      Unlike in Spanish, you cannot have a singular Spanish adjective paired with a plural noun.

       

      1. Spanish adjectives almost always come after nouns.

       

      1. Spanish verbs in their non-conjugated form almost always end in -ar, -er, and -ir. These endings are removed when you conjugate them. The verb form reflects the subject of the sentence.

      2. Spanish follows the basic SVO pattern, but there’s sometimes more flexibility than in Spanish.
      How hard you find Spanish grammar will depend on many factors, including what your native language is, how many other languages you speak, and how much time you can dedicate to studying and practicing Spanish. For example, if you already fluently speak another Romance language, mastering Spanish grammar will be easier than if you don’t. There are thousands of TV shows and movies in Spanish that you can watch online for free to help improve your Spanish language abilities.
      Most language learners would agree that Spanish grammar is easier than Spanish grammar. For example, it can be hard to learn subjunctive forms in Spanish and to apply them correctly. Furthermore, in Spanish, every word is either masculine or feminine and the gender needs to be memorized alongside the noun. Spanish also has accented words, and many irregular verbs, some of which don’t look anything like their infinitive forms. Yet, it’s important to remember that how hard you find Spanish grammar will depend on many factors. In the end, Spanish grammar is not inherently harder than Spanish grammar.
