What is ‘Expat Spanish’ anyway?
Hola. My name is Amy Whitney, and like you, I am an expat who had to learn Spanish as an adult.
And trust me when I say that I completely understand how hard it can be!
For over 14 years, I tried Rosetta Stone, Duolingo, taking private lessons, and even travelling to Spanish speaking countries to ‘be immersed’… but nothing worked!
It wasn’t until I started focusing on learning the spoken Spanish that people were using in real life that things started to make sense and finally stick.
The reason why expats struggle to learn Spanish is because the majority of courses are teaching ‘general’ Spanish which is heavily focused on grammar and teaching tons of seemingly useless vocabulary instead of teaching practical things that we can immediately go out and use our day-to-day lives.
As a quick example…
Words like ‘tarjeta’ (card) and ‘cambio’ (change) highly useful to expats compared to words like apple, desk, or baby.

I had previously taken a beginner course with a strong grammar focus and was extremely frustrated that I didn’t have the confidence or ability to recall what I had learned.
I couldn’t be happier with the progress I have made! I am so much more confident to speak and understand basic phrases in stores, restaurants, taxis etc. I recommend this course100%.

Finally! A Spanish Course Designed for Expats
When it comes to Spanish, expats care about speaking, understanding, and easily handling day-to-day situations such as:
Understanding what the cashier is saying and how to respond
Ordering from behind the counter at the deli or pharmacy
Asking about prices and understanding numbers
Being able to modify your food order in a restaurant
And other common situations we face daily!
And you will be able to do all of these things while speaking in full sentences!
Sounds too good to be true, right?
Try this video lesson which uses my FRASE method to see it for yourself!
In this 8-minute lesson you will:
Learn 11 New Words
Without needing to study them
Create a full 7-word sentence
And understand HOW to change or modify it!
Start speaking immediately!
And hear them from a Mexican native speaker to start develop listening skills
And you’ll be left wondering…
Why Spanish hasn’t been taught like this before??
Previously I had started a couple of online beginner courses without much success as the grammar and verb tenses were so confusing which led to frustration and loss of interest. But the Spanish from Zero course is designed for everyday situations like shopping, getting a taxi, going to a restaurant and ordering food.
The course is set up for continual review, listening and speaking skills. I have gained more confidence to speak Spanish by taking this course.
