You’ve done the apps.
You know the grammar.
You can follow slow Spanish.
But real conversations at speed?
With the right guidance, that changes.
That’s exactly what we’ve created for you.
The R.E.A.L. Methodology:
Real Listening — to unscripted conversations straight from Madrid.
Engaging Topics — art, culture, food, travel, music, life in Spain and more — things people
actually talk about.
Authentic Vocabulary — words and phrases locals really use.
Lasting Fluency — you absorb it naturally and make it stick.
Whether you’re ready for noticeable, lasting progress — or reinforcing what you’ve heard in our podcasts — this course takes you to the highest level of Spanish.
“This course was the missing link for me in actually moving my Spanish forward. I cannot recommend it highly enough.”
— Kate
“I really feel like a plateau that I was on for a long time has suddenly shifted. It’s one of the best things for my language learning that I have done.”
— Anna
The day I arrived in Spain, over 25 years ago, I sat in a local Madrid bar with the food vocab page ripped out of my Rough Guide.
I could barely order a “sandwich mixto”.
My confidence was at zero.
Nine months later, I was fluently chatting with Marina about family, films, music, plans, dreams — everything.
What made the difference?
Listening to real Spanish conversations as much as possible.
That’s EXACTLY what we do for you inside this course.

We’re Ben and Marina, creators of Notes in Spanish.
We’ve been teaching real, spoken Spanish online since 2006.
Over the years:
Our focus has always been simple:
Real conversations. Real Spanish. Real results.
That’s why our students don’t just “study Spanish”. They use it.

Problem #1: Understanding Fast Spanish
“I find it hard listening to fast Spanish and distinguishing the words…”
SOLUTION:
You start understanding everything — even at speed. As you build “Real Spanish Depth”, you begin understanding native speakers without having to think so hard.
“My problem was always hearing spoken Spanish. This course addressed it. Finally understand locals.” — Keith
Problem #2: Speaking in Real-Life Situations
“I’m thinking in English and trying to translate…”
SOLUTION:
You’re able to hold a conversation on almost anything without having to think what to say. Your inner-Spanish well fills up. Language begins to flow. You chat confidently about family, travel, films, food, daily life.
And one day someone says: “¡Madre mía! ¡Qué bien hablas!”
“Much more competent when speaking.” — Ted
“I’m basically fluent… and have a whole bunch of Spanish friends.” — Loni
“Now I Chat and Laugh with My Spanish Neighbours Every Day”
“I’m able to take part in the daily chat with our Spanish neighbours about this and that and have a laugh about various topics or experiences.”
“This is part of the daily life and came from the huge variety of topics covered by Notes in Spanish…”
“My life would not have been enriched without the help of Ben and Marina. I am very grateful to them both.”
— Paul, Spain
“I highly recommend it to anybody who is wanting to become more fluent in Spanish.” — Linda
