Made by Parrot, the app for practising Spanish between classes. About this site
Most adults learn in a small evening or Saturday group course that runs 8 to 12 weeks, with one or two classes a week.
Take the school's free level test, book a trial class, then add 10 minutes of daily practice at home so new words stick.

Weekly classes after work follow a set syllabus over 8 to 12 weeks. Classmates and a fixed time slot make it easier to keep going.
Short courses pack several hours into a Saturday or a few days. They work well for travel prep or a quick refresher before a trip.
A private teacher moves at your pace and builds lessons around your goals. It costs more per hour but often gets results with fewer hours.
Many schools now teach adults live by video, so a late meeting does not mean a missed class. The format is the same, only the commute disappears.
Some employers pay for team Spanish classes, especially in healthcare, education and customer service. Ask HR before you pay out of pocket.
If you know only a few words, start at level one. You will learn greetings, numbers and simple present-tense sentences in the first few weeks.
Took Spanish at school years ago? Many adults remember more than they expect. A level test often places them one level above beginner.
Grew up hearing Spanish at home but never studied it? Look for classes for heritage speakers, which focus on reading, writing and grammar rather than basics.
If you can hold a slow conversation, a conversation class or an advanced grammar course will stretch you more than a general group.
Daily practice between classes means less time relearning last week's words. That makes every paid hour go further.
The best course is the one you attend every week. Evening and Saturday groups fill first, so book a few weeks ahead.
Groups of 6 to 10 give everyone time to speak. Ask for the maximum class size before you pay.
Look for teachers trained to teach Spanish as a foreign language, ideally with experience teaching adults. Ask who teaches your level.
Good adult classes get you talking in the first lesson, not after weeks of grammar. Ask how much of each class is spent speaking.
Parrot teaches Spanish through short, fun videos you can watch on a lunch break or a commute. A few minutes a day keeps this week's class fresh for the next one.
Repeat what you hear and practise speaking at your own pace, with no classmates watching. See how Parrot helps adults learn Spanish on parrotapp.com.

No. Adults often learn grammar and vocabulary faster than children because they can study with a clear goal. Accent may take longer, but regular speaking practice and a good teacher get most adults to real conversations.
Most adult group classes meet on weekday evenings or Saturday mornings, once or twice a week, for 8 to 12 weeks. Check each listing for current times, as evening groups fill first.
Most adult group classes have between 6 and 12 students, though it varies by school. Smaller groups mean more speaking time each, so ask for the maximum class size before you book.
Grammar classes teach the structure of Spanish step by step with some speaking practice. Conversation classes focus almost entirely on talking. Many adults take both, or join a conversation class once they know the basics.
Most adults reach a basic conversational level after 6 to 12 months of weekly classes plus regular practice. Speaking often between classes matters as much as the number of hours in the classroom.
Every listing is a real school, college, library or group that teaches Spanish to adults, checked on 31 October 2026. We do not take payment for rankings, and Parrot is never listed as a class.
