In general the sentence structure is relatively flexible in Spanish. You can emphasize words by changing the sentence structure.
The normal structure of Spanish declarative sentences is similar to the English one: subject + verb + object.
The subject pronouns in Spanish are omitted in most of the sentences. In case you want to emphasize the person, you can use the pronoun.
Subject | Verb | Object | Translation |
---|---|---|---|
(Yo) | leo | libros. | I read books. |
(Tú) | hablas | español. | You speak Spanish. |
(Ella) | come | Paella. | She eats Paella. |
(Nosotros) | bebemos | Sangría. | We drink Sangria. |
(Vosotros) | bailáis | flamenco. | You dance flamenco. |
(Ellos) | aprenden | matemáticas. | They learn maths. |
If you want to learn more about declarative sentences in Spanish, just have a look at our page!

In English as well as in Spanish, a distinction is made between yes/no- questions and supplementary questions. Yes/no- questions are answered with yes or no, supplementary questions require a question pronoun (interrogative pronoun) and a more detailed answer with further information.
If you want to know more about Spanish questions in Spanish, just have a look at our pages!
Unlike in other platforms, all our teachers are manually verified by our professional team. Trust in the experiences of our students.
I'm an English language teacher for more than 15 years with CELTA ( Cambridge English Level 5 Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages); for sure, my lessons are active and updated. I can work with different levels mostly with adults.
I've been teaching lessons on line since October 2019 using Zoom.
Students' participation is maximised in my language lessons, for sure they are student-centred; in other words, I ensure plenty of student talking time through the use of communicative activities and consistent pair checks, clarifying the target language to an appropriate depth and in a student-centred way.
Come and join my classes, you´ll never feel like regreting your decision!!!

Hello! My name is Ainhoa, I am Spanish and I live in Bilbao, a city in the north of Spain. I love languages and learning about new cultures, that is why I decided to teach Spanish. I find it very gratifying to see the students improve.
I am patient and cheerful, and I strive to create a comfortable environment where students are not afraid to make mistakes. I am positive and I firmly believe that anyone with effort, perseverance and correct accompaniment can improve.
I am an online Spanish teacher certified by ELE International and I have been teaching Spanish since 2019. In 2020 I formalized my business and became freelance.
In these years, I have studied Spanish grammar thoroughly and I have tried many teaching methods that were taught to me in my training, which has led me to create my own method with what I have seen has given better results. I use spaced repetition, create projects, do real-life rollplays, and have the student come to the correct conclusion on their own using questions. For all this, we will use manuals that will guide your learning, the campus diffusion books.
I have helped students of all levels to improve Spanish until they can speak correctly. Each student learns differently and has their own challenges, so I have learned which resources work best for each person.
In my classes you will find a smily face and a relaxed atmosphere, in which you will feel free to ask questions as much as necessary and to express yourself without fear of mistakes.
See you soon!

ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
I got certified with the University of Cambridge TKT test, developed empathy to students, polished my method, and the last 5 years I have been teaching english in an online environment.
After years teaching online, I can say that the computer screen is not a limitation. I love to see my students thrive in a new language, I develop my own exercises too, My classes are fun, dynamic and interesting to say the least, I believe I have the patience to create exercises and drills for my students and approach learning from a different perspective and overcome boredom, tiredness and lack of discipline.
I work with realia mostly, and I can tell you that nothing is more powerful than things and situations that are personal to a person.

(I ONLY OFFER GROUP CLASSES ON HERE :) )
Hello, my name is Rebecca Rygaard.
Recently graduated as a teacher of Danish and English for the primary and lower secondary schools in Denmark, according to the Bachelor's Degree Program in Education, from University College Copenhagen.
I am born and raised in Denmark, and am a native speaker of Danish.
In my teaching I use a communicative approach, focused on having us communicate with each other and produce language to learn it. We will learn both from "input" (what we hear, read) and "output" (what we say, write).
This communicative approach will be focused on "real life" and authentic situations - that means that I'll actually base the teaching on my students lives. I.e. we could be talking about what has brought you to want to learn Danish. There will be authentic language only in this class - not language about hypothetical situations, that you might not ever need.
As part of this method, we'll be using task-based learning - you'll often learn the language through "tasks" in my class, with the point that you'll have to use communication, in cooperation with your peers (or me) to solve them. It's a lot of fun, I guarantee.
You will also be learning about the Danish culture, as I believe culture and language go together, and one cannot be understood without the other (I very much look forward to introducing you to Danish customs, traditions and food).
I'll be focused on your progress, rather your 'errors', as I don't believe in teaching a language by focusing on student's "mistakes", but on their potential. There is an "interlanguage" that is the language that emerge in between your original language, and the language you're trying to learn. And it is only normal that this language is a bit of a mix, that is ever-evolving.
With me, you'll also have the important advantage that I am both a teacher of English and Danish, and therefore know how the languages correlate.
I've learned about all of these aspects "the communicative approach", "task-based learning", "cultural studies" and "interlanguage" and a "functional view on language learning", as a part of my education, and I know they are all a part of recent research in the field.
I have prepared a lesson plan for beginners - which can both be used for group- and single lessons. But I can also create a specifically crafted lesson plan just for you and your needs/level, or if you already know Danish, but just want to improve it.
I hope we meet, and look forward to helping you learn some Danish :)

Learning Spanish is no big deal now, it´s a huge accomplishment. I´m here to help you to learn this marvelous language as easy as possible. I count on a 10 years’ experience of teaching Spanish. Therefore, for whatever reason – travel, apply to university, DELE exams, speaking to family or friends, work, or love- I will guide you along the way, from beginner to advanced.
First of all, I need to know your goal because it would let me design a plan especially for you to help you achieve it. Generally, we will follow the communicative approach. We don’t just dive right into verb tenses or lists of vocabulary words. Instead, I prefer to teach you the ins-and-outs of the Spanish language in a more different way! So, we will be using a variety of resources such as movies, songs, essays, stories, news and interviews, etc.
If you want to know more about me, I should say I´m studying Advanced Hispanic Studies for a PHD degree at the University of Valencia. I hold a master´s degree in General Linguistics and a Bachelor's degree in Spanish Language. As a teacher, I’ve held online classes, face to face classes and several courses at different institutes and the University of Applied Science and Technology in my country of origin, Iran.
One thing more, I am a big fan of learning new languages and like to do it enjoying it. I will always make sure that you are enjoying learning Spanish.
Don’t hesitate more and let’s start together. Why don't you just book your first session with me?

Dear all,
My name is Giovanna, I am Italian and I live in Rome. I am a foreign language teacher of state secondary school. I teach Italian language and culture at the cultural association "Il Mondo che Vorrei" of my city.
I have a degree in foreign languages and literatures and a degree in education. I have acquired two teaching qualifications and 3 masters, including the last one in Italian language and culture for foreigners.
I have over ten years of experience in teaching to children, teens and adults.
Why choosing me? Because my method works. I don't use a traditional approach: I start with a theme topic and then I go into detail on language functions and skills. I prepare students for language certifications at all levels. I don't just teach the language: my lessons will be a language journey through a full immersion of art, music, cuisine, fashion, tourism and culture at 360 °, all Made in Italy. And there will be some nice surprises of authentic "on the road" lessons
I'm waiting for you!

My name is Abdelrahman, I'm a native Arabic speaker. I'm passionate about teaching Arabic. so it will be a great pleasure for me to help you learn Standard Arabic and Egyptian dialects.
My teaching approach will be easy and a lot of fun, Because I'm going to set up a suitable syllabus for every student depends on their needs and levels. and I want to make your path to learn easier and shorter. I'm looking forward to seeing you.
I often use these books in my teaching way:
- Arabic courses for English-speaking students (Madina book)
- Arabic between your hands.
- Al-kitab Al-Asasi (the basic book for non-Arabic speakers).
- kallimni Arabi bishweesh (Egyptian Arabic).
-Egyptian vernacular
I'm also choosing the best things from different books, so they can be suitable for my students.
I'm trying my best to make my lessons interesting and not boring, I have taught different ages from children to older people, and alhamdulillah it was a fantastic lesson.
hope to see you soon :)
