There are four core sentence types in Spanish: statements, questions, commands, and exclamations.

• Declarative sentences (oraciones declarativas) make statements or share facts.
• Questions in Spanish open with ¿ and close with ?, like "¿Dónde vives?" (Where do you live?).
• Imperativas direct someone to do something, with positive or negative forms.
• Exclamatory sentences (oraciones exclamativas) express strong emotion with ¡...! punctuation.

Understanding these four types helps you read, write, and speak Spanish with proper tone and punctuation.

Spanish lessons in Christchurch typically cost £18/h per hour.

This rate varies depending on several factors:

• Your current ability (beginner, intermediate, or advanced)
• The teacher's background (DELE examiner, degree holder, or professional linguist)
• How often you study (weekly, twice weekly, or intensive courses)
• How lessons are delivered (video call, face-to-face, or hybrid)

Booking multiple sessions upfront often unlocks better value per hour.

Many students find online Spanish classes equally effective and often cheaper.

Start with the alphabet: Spanish has 27 letters, including ñ, and each letter has a consistent sound.

Once you know the sounds, focus on basic vocabulary: greetings, numbers 1–20, and essential verbs like ser, estar, tener, and hacer.

• Ser describes who you are or what something is fundamentally.
• The verb "estar" indicates location and temporary states: "Estoy cansado" (I am tired).

This foundation—sounds, key words, and essential verbs—prepares you to form simple sentences within your first few lessons.
