Who it’s for

Children aged 7 to 9 who are starting Spanish from scratch. The instructions can be heard in their own language, so they don’t need to read fluently yet.

Prior knowledge

Nothing: the course starts from scratch.

By the end, your child will be able to

  • Greet people, introduce themselves and say how they are.
  • Count to twenty and say how old they are.
  • Name colours and the things they play with.
  • Introduce their family.
  • Talk about their school, their home, pets and animals.
  • Name the parts of the body and the face.

How it works

  • Grammar without explanations: they learn whole sentences in real situations, such as “¿Cómo te llamas?” or “Tengo ocho años”, and discover the difference between forms by choosing the one that fits.
  • Every session moves through four stages: discover, practise, use and a final challenge.
  • Everything can be heard: every word and every sentence has its audio, and the instructions can be heard in their own language.
  • Stories with Lucía, Teo and Ola — a Polish girl who is learning Spanish just like your child — and Rufo the dog.
  • Whatever is hard comes back until it sticks.
The method

The metro line: one stop, one thing

Each unit is a run of short stops. These are the ones in the first unit, with their real exercises — and here you can do them and hear them.

Unit 1 · Greetings and introductions14 stops

And there is more: the guide, two stories with Ola and Teo, listening, odd one out, an episode of Radio Léxico and a recording. Fourteen stops in the first unit.

New words

Cards with audio

A few words at a time, each with its picture and its audio. Whatever is hard comes back on its own, at the right moment.

Comes back in 3 days

Frequently asked questions

Does my child need to know any Spanish?

No. The course starts from scratch: every new word comes with its picture and its audio, and whatever is hard comes back until it sticks.

What if they can’t read well yet?

That’s not a problem: the instructions can be heard in their own language, and everything they learn has audio.

What data do you ask for about my child?

A username and a password that you choose. No email, no phone number and no surname: you create your child’s account from your own.

What if they’re older than 9?

Age is a guide, not a rule: if they are starting from scratch, this course works just as well. If they already know some Spanish, write to us and we’ll help you choose.
