James Spanish School

Want to learn Spanish?

You can do this with James Spanish School (JSS)
1
A practical, proven way to master everyday Spanish
Focus on real-world spoken Spanish. No endless app games or generic AI.
2
Tailored for adults & seniors
Created by James Bretherton, a native Spanish- and English-speaking teacher with over 25 years of classroom experience. The goal is real conversation with neighbours, tradespeople, shop staff, and officials.
3
Focus on speaking, not boring grammar
Skip the confusing jargon. Learn how to string proper sentences together out loud from day one. And the lessons are definitely not boring, full of laughs, banter and some sarcasm.
4
Train your ear for fast Spanish
While native speakers talk fast, speaking is not the hard part, understanding what comes back is. We include over 75 hours of dedicated listening practice to help tune your ear.
5
Fit into local life
Learn practical culture alongside the language — from ordering a Menú del Día to navigating local social events like weddings and funerals.
