Learn Spanish in 50 Days.

Learn Spanish from the ground up with fun and easy one-hour daily lessons.

Don’t take our word for it.

"SpanishHour is one of the best resources I've seen for quickly learning Spanish..."

Spanish Professor at Pepperdine University

Two things. That’s it.

Spanish comes down to vocabulary (the words) and grammar (the rules for putting them together). Learn both, and you can say anything you want. We teach you a little of each, every day, in one easy hour.

As easy as 1-2-3

Each lesson breaks into three quick stops below. Finish all three and you're one day closer to speaking Spanish.

Watch the lesson

A 3-4 minute video where a native-speaking professor teaches the day's grammar, live on a whiteboard.

Flashcard Blitz

A fast, game-like drill that gets the day's vocabulary into your head — see it, hear it, type it.

Grammar Training Lab

Drag-and-drop sentence building, so you practice the rule without getting stuck on vocabulary.

That's it for today

Optional extras are there if you want more — a typed grammar quiz, articles, crossword puzzles — or just move straight on to tomorrow's lesson.

What members are saying:

"I really am getting a lot out of your site and think the daily exercises are incredible... I have been trying to learn for about two years now and your site is hands down the best one I have come across. It is head and shoulders above anything else I have tried..."

- Michael, Houston, TX

"The program is great. It is thorough, well thought-out, and, yes, fun! It is straightforward, does not bury the learner in useless details but at the same time goes in depth. I really, really like it.

I have learned more in a couple of days than with many other online programs I tried. Even if I am a French-speaker! (English is my third language). Though clearly oriented towards the US market, it fills gaps no other programs does. This is exactly what I was looking for, for months now!"

- Anne-Marie, Quebec, Canada

Never studied Spanish? Start here.

We start at the alphabet and sounds, then build up one small piece at a time — with enough practice and guidance that you're never lost.

The part that actually separates fluent speakers

The subjunctive mood — the verb forms for doubt, emotion, wishes — is what trips up most intermediate students. You can get by without it, but it's what lets you speak with real precision. Starting day 34, we go all-in on it.

Train your ear, too

Every lesson's vocabulary comes with native pronunciation, and Flashcard Blitz drills thousands of words by sound. Want more? Our listening lab plays real conversation snippets — airport, restaurant, hotel, and more — and you pick the right response.

Spanish that works anywhere

We teach vocabulary that's understood across Latin America, not tied to one country's slang — you'll adapt fast once you're there. Heading to Spain instead? You'll follow and be followed just fine; a few words and the formal "ustedes" will be the only tells.

Go at your own speed

Each day is built for about an hour, but it's your clock. Fly through the easy parts, slow down on the hard ones.

What Spanish professors say

We asked professors who teach Spanish for a living to put SpanishHour through its paces. Here's what they found:

Graciela Susana Boruszko, PhD

"I've taught Spanish for over 30 years in multiple universities in the United States, Europe, and Latin America in many different countries including France, Argentina, Ecuador and Peru. SpanishHour is one of the best resources I've seen for quickly learning Spanish grammar and vocabulary. It is a clear, concise, and user-friendly way to learn Spanish, regardless of your current level. The well-designed progressive presentation of grammar, the participation of native speakers, and the inclusion of a generous amount of practice in many formats is an asset for all kinds of learning styles. I would not hesitate to recommend SpanishHour to anyone looking for a quick, effective, yet in-depth Spanish course."

Graciela Susana Boruszko, PhD
Spanish Professor at Pepperdine University
Vilma Navarro-Daniels, PhD

"I closely reviewed SpanishHour and found it to be a very easy to use program that teaches the most important components that are needed to learn Spanish. It smoothly takes students from the most elementary level of grammar to the advanced, emphasizes vocabulary building, and includes tools to exercise listening comprehension and pronunciation. What impressed me most about SpanishHour is that it succeeded in making grammar accessible, easy to learn, and even enjoyable. Using a variety of tools, supplemental activities, and games, it makes the Spanish learning process fun. SpanishHour is an excellent program for anybody wanting to learn Spanish on their own."

Vilma Navarro-Daniels, PhD
Spanish Professor at Washington State University
Laura Lopez

"I have taught Spanish by immersion, Spanish as a second language, Spanish for adults, etc., and there is no way to completely succeed at learning to speak Spanish without knowing the grammar. A good foundation of grammar and vocabulary gives students a lot more potential and makes it easier and faster to become a fluent Spanish speaker. SpanishHour is a very complete course that covers the most relevant and fundamental grammar points and vocabulary of the Spanish language. It's actually very similar to what I teach in class and would equal or correspond to at least four semesters (2 years) of college Spanish. Completing SpanishHour's 50-day course would put you in a position to rapidly develop your speaking abilities by practicing what you learned in conversation. I absolutely recommend SpanishHour; it is an entertaining, innovative, and effective approach to learning Spanish."

Laura Lopez
Spanish Professor at the University of North Carolina in Greensboro
Héctor Campos, PhD

"SpanishHour is a powerful tool that can be used on its own or as a supplement to any first, second, or even third-year Spanish program. The program is very user-friendly and you will find hours upon hours of activities to practice and improve your Spanish. Short, concise, and to-the-point videos introduce the grammar; audio files and interactive flashcards present the vocabulary; and various exercises with immediate and useful feedback help you to master the grammar points. The "Tower of Conjugation" game is a great tool for practicing the complex and elusive forms of the Spanish verb system and the other games are a fun way to learn and practice new vocabulary. Students of Spanish of all ages will benefit from this fun, interactive educational program. I'm glad to have found out about SpanishHour; I will be telling many of my students about this one-of-a-kind resource."
