The Spanish that’ll win the locals over

To start understanding and speaking the Spanish that Colombians actually use in their everyday conversations, you’ll need to look beyond just your Spanish textbook.

On this course, you’ll learn hundreds of the most useful words, phrases and expressions commonly heard in Colombia, together with cultural and contextual explanations to allow you to understand when exactly to use them. We’ll cover:

Sparking up conversation, socializing and keeping awkward silences at bay.
Going out with friends and chatting on social media.
Dating and relationships with Colombians.
Spicing up your speech with popular local sayings, curse words, funny expressions and jokes.

Spanish you can really use

You’ll learn how to interact confidently in Spanish conversations from an engaging and entertaining mix of video lessons, teacher interviews, quizzes and study tasks. Focused exclusively on the phrases and expressions that you’ll hear when chatting, making friends and going out with Colombians, it’s Spanish you can use in conversations straightaway.
Language success – on your own terms

You’ll get immediate, unlimited access to all the course materials and bonuses to work through entirely at your own pace. You can choose to follow our suggested six-week daily study program or set your own schedule – either way, the materials, support and instructor interaction you’ll receive will be exactly the same.
Course Instructor
Peter Low

Hi there! I first arrived in Colombia in 2007, speaking next to no Spanish. Years of (painful) study later, and I now work as a professional Spanish translator, journalist and online language teacher. I’ll be your guide through the tips and tricks that I wish had been available to me earlier in my Spanish-learning journey.
Expert help

During the course, you’ll also learn from exclusive interviews and video contributions by teachers from Colombia’s top language schools in Bogota, Medellin, Cartagena and more.

Course FAQ

I’ve never studied any Spanish before. Is this course for me?
This course is aimed primarily at people who already know at least the basics of Spanish and works best as a complement to traditional learning resources, such as textbooks, language apps and/or classes. We won’t cover Spanish grammar in any depth here, so if you know literally no Spanish then you’re probably not quite ready to enroll. That said, detailed explanations and translations of all the terms covered in the course are provided, so you need not know much of the language to benefit from the material. And with unlimited access to all the videos, exercises, interviews and quizzes in the course, you’ll be able to keep revisiting the content to gain a better understanding of the language’s nuances as your Spanish continues to improve.
Why should I learn Spanish from a foreigner? Wouldn’t a native speaker be able to teach me better?
Local teachers are often fantastic, and that’s why I’ve drafted in a whole bunch to help explain many of the terms in this course. Oddly enough, though, native speakers are at a bit of a disadvantage when it comes to creating a course of this kind — which aims to bridge the gap between the Spanish taught in the classroom and the sort you’ll actually need when talking to Colombians. A foreigner, who has already battled his way through to Spanish fluency in Colombia, is probably better placed to advise others on how to do the same. Between the Colombians’ contributions and my own, my aim is to give you the best of both worlds. That is, exposure to the local accent and native speech on the one hand and, on the other, guidance from a foreigner about what parts of the language are most useful and the most likely to get a positive reaction from the locals.
Is this just a course on Colombian slang?
We cover plenty of slang, but the scope of this course is much wider than that. You’ll learn many other aspects of becoming conversational in Spanish (such as idioms for socialising, conversation filler words, sentence starters and other language tricks) which are as applicable to the Spanish spoken both within and beyond Colombia’s borders. By the end of the course, you’ll be speaking more natural Spanish in general – be that in Colombia or anywhere else in the Spanish speaking world
Is ‘Colombian Spanish’ really that different from standard Spanish?
Colombia’s version of Spanish is, of course, not a separate language from that spoken elsewhere in Latin American and Europe. However, it does contain a good deal of local variations and quirks that you’ll absolutely need to understand if you want to gain access into the inner circle of Colombian friendship groups.
What if I am unhappy with the course?
I believe that any Spanish learner who plans on having more than a fleeting interaction with Colombians should sign up for the course as there’s loads of great stuff in here that will definitely make your conversations much more enjoyable. But if, for whatever reason, you later find that the course is not right for you, then never fear. Just write to me within 30 days of your purchase and I’ll give you a full refund right there and then.
When does the course start and finish?
When you sign up, you’ll gain immediate access to all the course materials, which you can access for as long as you like. During the first six weeks of the course, you’ll receive daily study tasks to complete. You can choose to follow the six-week course schedule or, if you prefer, work through the content entirely at your own pace. It’s totally up to you.
