Spanish versionHow may I learn more about "Grammarama Spanish Classes"?

What is Grammarama Spanish Classes´ email?

Will Spanish lessons allow me to communicate better in Spanish?
Yes, they will. By working in private Spanish lessons or/and small groups each student can practise and develop his/her listening and conversational skills. It allows the teacher to focus on the student´s individual learning needs.
Furthermore, having Spanish classes online is a good opportunity to practise this language if the student lives in a non Spanish-speaking country. Since 2010, students and professionals from different places in Europe and Asia started to have classes online with Grammarama. Everyone seems to be very happy because they can practise the Spanish language being guided by a teacher.
What is "Argentine Spanish"?
Because of the large number of immigrants who came in Argentina more than a hundred years ago, our Spanish is spoken in many areas with a different accent.
There are a few basic structural differences between our language and that of the rest of the Spanish speaking world. There are small differences in pronunciation and some endings of verb tenses. And we sometimes use a street slang called "lunfardo" which is mainly a mix of Italian and Spanish words. But Argentine Spanish is still Spanish. You can use it anywhere in the Spanish speaking world, and you will be able to communicate perfectly.
Will I learn international Spanish or “Argentine Spanish”?
Our Spanish classes focus on the communicative aspect of language in the teaching of the cultivated, standard, international Spanish. Teaching of the Argentine variant of Castillian Spanish can be done when requested by the student.

Will I receive a certificate?
A certificate of course completion will be furnished for students who request it, and an academic report can also be furnished for those who want one.
What languages are used as a medium of teaching?
Explanations in English or Portuguese are usually provided for beginning students during the first 10-hour course. After learning some vocabulary and being able to make simple conversations about certain topics, we mainly communicate with each other in Spanish language.
