Find a private Spanish tutor in Durham

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

• Declarativas state information, such as "El libro es interesante" (The book is interesting).
• Interrogativas request information and require the distinctive Spanish question marks.
• Imperative sentences (oraciones imperativas) give commands or instructions.
• Exclamativas show feelings and always use inverted exclamation marks.

Mastering each type improves your ability to communicate clearly in any context.

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

Prices can differ based on:

• The student's level (beginner, intermediate, or advanced)
• The teacher's background (DELE examiner, degree holder, or professional linguist)
• Lesson length and frequency (weekly, twice weekly, or intensive courses)
• How lessons are delivered (online, at home, or at the tutor's location)

Many tutors offer discounted rates for bulk bookings, which reduces the hourly cost over time.

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.

After pronunciation, build a core vocabulary of 50–100 high-frequency words and simple phrases.

• The verb "ser" expresses identity and permanent traits: "Soy estudiante" (I am a student).
• The verb "estar" indicates location and temporary states: "Estoy cansado" (I am tired).

From here, grammar patterns emerge naturally as you practise speaking and listening.
