From Zero to Conversational Spanish in 21 Hours!
LanguageBoost presents: Spanish Boostcamp
How will being able to speak Spanish change your life?
- Want to travel to Spanish speaking countries and talk to locals in their own language?
- Do you have Spanish speaking friends or family and want to speak Spanish with them?
- Want to challenge yourself by learning a foreign language?
- Always wanted to learn Spanish but you don’t know where to start?
Dear friend,
Learning Spanish can be life-changing. Just think about:
– Imagine being able to travel to Spain, Latin America and be able to speak with the locals in their own language.
– Spanish is considered to be the language of diplomacy and is certainly high on the list of ‘business languages most in demand’. Would your career path benefit from proficiency in Spanish?
– Imagine how delighted your Spanish speaking friends and loved ones would react if you could speak fluent Spanish with them.
– How cool would it be to read books in Spanish and watch Spanish movies without subtitles?
Have you’ve tried to learn Spanish in the past but it didn’t work out? No worries, you are far from alone!
Getting started with Spanish can be frustrating…
Learning a new language from scratch is intimidating.
It’s easy to become overwhelmed by new grammar rules and thousands of new words.
So, you sign up for a Spanish course in your town; you get yourself a study book, or maybe you download an application on your Smartphone that promises you’ll learn Spanish effortlessly in a week.
And then, after a few months of hard work, you finally meet a native speaker and you want to impress her with your Spanish.
But then;
- You start panicking when you discover you’re not able to construct a sentence by yourself
- You lack the useful vocabulary and immediately lose confidence
- You’re overwhelmed and at a total loss for words
What are you doing wrong?
You studied so hard and now you can’t even hold a simple conversation?
You learned all the vocabulary lists by heart and studied all the grammar rules – so what’s holding you back?
You begin to feel maybe learning Spanish is just not something for you…
Maybe you should just give up…
Wait! There is hope for you!
What just happened to you and all those comments you found yourself agreeing with are completely normal. You can fix them – but you need to change a few things in your learning approach.
Let me explain it….
Why it’s not so much about “how much you know” … but “how you use what you’ve learned”
Let’s talk about:
– What you’re probably doing wrong, did wrong when you last tried, or what you’re most likely to do wrong if you haven’t started learning Spanish yet.
– How you can overcome your frustration and go from zero to a conversational level in Spanish a matter of weeks.
Are you ready?
What most people forget is that to become really good at a language, you need two important skills:
1. Knowing a lot about the language (knowing many words, grammar rules etc.)
2. Having the ability to use what you know, in real conversations.
Traditional learning methods often only focus on the first skill.
Have you ever tried to learn a language at school or at an institution?
We usually learn a lot about the language, but we don’t really learn how to use the words and grammar structures that we have learned in real conversations.
It’s ok, there is still hope..
We’ve made the same mistake…
I had Spanish lessons for four years in high school. We learned to conjugate verbs, the tenses and lots of words. At a certain point we even had to read Spanish texts.
Yet, after fours years my classmates and I were incapable of even holding a simple conversation in Spanish. It was a huge disappointment. We had spent four years learning Spanish – for what? What had we actually learned?
You see, the problem is not you. Traditional teaching methods might work for some people but surely not for everyone.
At school we learn something and what we do with it is pass an exam. Passing exams does not enable you to carry on a conversation in a new language…
There is another approach for those who want to SPEAK Spanish
A few years ago I gave myself another chance. Over the years I had developed a new learning approach and a wanted to see if I could finally become conversational in Spanish. This time my goal was to do so in only one month.
I had forgotten almost everything I learned at highschool ten years earlier, so I needed a solid plan.
Instead of just studying Spanish from textbooks, I focused on speaking practice. Everytime I learned a new word or grammatical rule I immediately tried to use it in simple conversations with my Spanish tutor.
Not only do you learn faster if you immediately use what you’ve learned; creating full sentences helps your brain generate output and get accustomed to the new language.
The latter is something we unfortunately never practiced enough in school. That’s why we’re often still not able to speak a new language after many years of study … and despite passing our exams.
The magic of ‘’learning by speaking’’
Learning by speaking?
Wait… how can you speak a language if you’ve never learned it?
You can and this is how it works:
Of course you first need to learn new words before you can starting speaking a language. So before you start talking in that language, you’ll need at least some input.
However, we think that traditional language courses wait far too long before letting language students make their our own sentences. Instead they teach you irrelevant vocabulary and grammar rules. For many of us this approach led to frustration, boredom, and a general feeling of “Eek – WHY am I in this class?”
There are language courses on the market that teach you a language with so-called ‘building blocks’. Every time you learn a new word, they have you use the word in a sentence structure you already know.
This way the lessons are easy in the beginning and gradually become more involved as you make progress. Repeating the same sentence structures with new building blocks helps your brain to produce and utilize the language by yourself. We are a big fan of these kind of courses, but…
In our opinion there were still a few things that could be improved:
– Not all vocabulary taught in these courses is useful.
– Some courses include only audio. The problem with this approach is that the human brain tends to memorize new words more efficiently if a person can hear and see the new word. The more associations with new words and phrases – the easier it is to memorize and incorporate them into speech.
– It can be boring to learn by yourself.
We wanted to create something better – the ideal course for beginners who want to go from zero to conversational Spanish in a matter of weeks.
How could we create such program? This was the question we asked ourselves a few years ago and it kept us busy for a while…
From ZERO to CONVERSATIONAL in 7 weeks
After more than a decade of trial and error and having learned more than 10 language ourselves, Lucas and I came to the conclusion that if we wanted a program that teaches you how to speak from the beginning, we …
- Should teach the minimum amount of words that you can use to make the maximum amount of combinations.
- Should focus on the most important vocabulary that you’ll need for your first conversations
- No boring grammar rules, learn grammar naturally ‘’on the go’’
- The materials should come with native speaker audio learning tools
- The focus should be on the student; our priority is to let the student construct their own sentences!
- The program should be super user-friendly.
… and the program should include real students, to make the course more fun and interactive!
The perfect program
We’ve tested all the major language learning products on the market, but we couldn’t find anything similar to what we were looking for. So we decided to create our own…
- We not only hand-picked the most important words that you need as a beginner, we also took into account the number of combinations you can make with them.
- We don’t force our students to learn words and grammar rules by heart, instead students assimilate the words and grammar naturally through fun and powerful exercises with the teacher.
- We focus 100% on conversation practice.
- The lessons are given online. This has allowed us to reach thousands of students from all over the world.
And guess what…
After less than 21 lessons our students, who started from zero, were holding conversations entirely in their new language!
This program works for all ages – from young students to 65+ year old retirees.
Even 55+ year old Russians were speaking a foreign language after the 21 lessons!
See it for yourself!
The results speak for themselves…
Oleg from Russia speaking Spanish after 21 hours.
Mila speaking Brazilian Portuguese after 21 lessons.
Leandro from Brazil speaking French after 21 hours.
Yi-kuang from Taiwan speaking German after 21 hours
And this is what they had to say about the Boostcamp…
I have researched and tried at least a dozen different language learning tools, software & approaches. After all that homework, the most important lesson I’ve learned is that it’s not about the ‘stuff’ of the language (yet), it’s about finding a way to speak it as soon as possible. This Boostcamp thing is the only approach that I found that had me speaking, conversing, & understanding what I said on day one. Don’t get me wrong, it didn’t come easy and did take homework and study before each lesson, but they also gave me the right tools to do that with.
I would say that this is probably the best way to start learning a foreign language. I know what I mean here because I have a degree in linguistics and education and I have been working with languages professionally for eighteen years. This course gives you an unbelievable feeling of achievement and helps you to create a natural connection with the language.
But it got even crazier…
People started talking about our programs and soon we were being invited to give workshops about quick language learning all around Russia.
Our workshop ‘speak in 21 hours’ in Kazan, Russia.
Participants conversing in a new language after 1 hour in Samara.
In one of the workshops there was a small group that was able to interact in Finnish for a few minutes after only 60 minutes of intensive practice using our methodology.
That’s pretty impressive as Finnish is considered one of the most difficult languages in the world to learn.
Teaching people in person was fun – but we wanted to reach more of you who wanted to learn another language. That’s why we shifted focus to online teaching.
But we had to deal with a few issues:
– Due to the fact that we have students living in different time zones, it was difficult to find a time that worked for everyone.
– Lessons didn’t always go smoothly because of issues with internet connections and students showing up late.
Therefore we decided to create a highly effective video course that’s now accessible for everyone who’s serious about learning Spanish.
And we’ve called it….
Language Boostcamps are video courses that will allow you to speak Spanish right from the start. In 21 lessons you will have mastered holding basic conversations in Spanish.
The Spanish Boostcamp is the result of over two years of hard work. We’ve spent 1000’s of hours teaching, experimenting, testing, and discussing in order to create what we believe is the best Spanish course on the market for those who want to learn how to quickly become conversational in Spanish.
We’ve used the Boostcamp method in workshops all over the word and we’ve witnessed time and time how people from different backgrounds and ages make rapid progress in Spanish.
Without our passion for language learning, it never would have been possible for us to put together a course like this one. This course is the result of a lot of love for language learning 🙂
We’ve learned more than 10 languages with this method…
Watch our multilingual videos!
Join our classroom!
The course consists of 21 video lesson recordings. The first lessons are easy to follow as we start with basic vocabulary. After the first few lessons – things get trickier. Soon be able to make your own sentences and eventually hold conversations.
Our Spanish instructor, Lucas, will teach you the fundamentals of Spanish in an easy to follow step-by-step process that has you speaking the language faster than you ever thought possible.
What makes the Boostcamp so special?
Good question!
There are a lot of elements that make this program unique…
– Join the classroom! You’ll feel like you’re really in the classroom with other students. This makes the video lessons more real, fun and seeing others make progress gives you extra motivation!
– This course contains 21 videos lessons with over 20 hours of video content! Boostcamp is, without a doubt, one of the most complete Spanish courses for beginners on the market.
– Along with the video lessons we’ve included PDF’s with the vocabulary and example sentences from the lessons. This makes it easy for you to review what you’ve learned and helps to reinforce your language learning skills.
– We’ve included native speaker audio so that you get your pronunciation just right.
– The first lessons are super easy but as the course continues, the lessons gradually become more involved and challenging. This way you gather confidence and momentum but aren’t overwhelmed.
– Interactive video lessons. We focus 100% on your new language output. Every time when we teach a new word we ask our students (and you) to translate simple sentences using the new word.
– Learn with building blocks. We break grammar down into easily digestible building blocks. So instead of teaching you boring grammar rules (just like when you were in school), we give a verb form and then demonstrate how to plug that verb form into a sentence pattern.
– This allows you to learn grammar in a natural way without having to study (and be confused by) grammar rules.
– Learn at your own speed; pause the videos whenever you want and play them as often as you want.
– This course is proven to work! You can literally witness our students (and yourself) making fast progress!
– Boostcamp is easy to use. Just login to our platform and start learning!
In our Spanish Boostcamp, you’ll feel like you’re sitting in the classroom with your instructor and the other students.

Learn to express yourself in Spanish in a natural way…
Helping you to express yourself in Spanish is our number one goal for this program. From the beginning you will be asked to make sentences with the words and grammar that you’ve learned in the current and preceding lessons.
This way you’ll soon make the Spanish language part of yourself.

What’s speaking Spanish worth to you?
How much would you be willing to pay to be able to hold real conversations in Spanish?
We did some research on how much it costs to learn Spanish here in Brussels where I live. For beginners they offer private lessons for 53 EUR ($65) per hour.
That means that for 21 hours it would cost you 1.113 EUR (US $1.371.10).
They also offer the option of group lessons at a cost of between 350-500 EUR (US $431-616) for a package somewhat similar to what we are offering. And their prices don’t include the study materials!
We’re sure that the courses mentioned here are great. But we doubt that their courses are as well structured as our Boostcamps. Why?
We’ve not only hand picked the most important vocabulary you need to know as a beginner, we also teach you these new words in order of relevance. With lots of ’real life and usage’ examples in sentences you can use to communicate in Spanish.
Throughout the full 21 video course, every time you are presented with a new word the logic (thanks to lots of research and analysis) behind our choice is based on selecting words that are most inclusive for your next step. This means you will be able to form a variety of sentences with every word you learn!
This pattern of increasing your Spanish vocabulary allows you to make a vast number of useful sentences from the beginning! With our unique method, you will be speaking Spanish faster than with any other method we’ve tested.
Language learning really is based on logical building blocks. 🙂
Besides that…
We know our programs are more flexible as you can study at our own speed where and whenever you want. And, let’s be honest, Boostcamp is certainly more affordable!
We’re happy to offer you the Spanish Boostcamp program for the low price of $147. Included in your package are the complete video course and all related learning materials.
After all, with your new found language skills, wouldn’t you rather spend the money you’ve saved traveling where you can speak Spanish to everyone?

FAQ
Do you have any questions?
I’m not a complete beginner. Is this course still relevant for me?
Let’s be honest, we only recommend this course for beginners. If you can already hold simple conversations in Spanish, this course is probably too easy for you.
What’s the duration of the course?
The course is structured over 21 lessons. Each lesson consists of the video lesson, the learning materials and native audio of the new words and phrases that you learn. The time it will take you to complete the course will depend on the time you have available, and the pace at which you like to study. If you decide to study two lessons per week for example, it will take you 2-3 months to finish the course.
Can I study at my own pace?
Yes. The course is designed specifically to allow all students to study at their own individual pace. Learn as quickly or slowly as you want; we want you to learn – not run a marathon. Everything is downloadable for practice and future refresher sessions if needed. The materials never expire … and updates are always free.
What’s the difference between this course and the VocaBooster Spanish?
In VocaBooster Spanish we focus on teaching you the most important vocabulary. We don’t focus much on grammar and very little on building sentences. For someone who has learned languages successfully in the past, or for someone who already speaks a similar language, this is often enough.
The Boostcamp is a complete program that is easy to everyone to follow. It doesn’t matter if you have previous language learning experience or not. Boostcamp is a more complete version of VocaBooster as it also includes video lessons and we spend much more time on constructing sentences and conversation skills.
How is this course different from the many other Spanish courses out there?
Our Boostcamps are unique. This is the only video course that teaches you Spanish (or an other language) from scratch with building blocks. We break grammar down into easily digestible building blocks. So instead of teaching you boring grammar rules, we give a verb form and then demonstrate how to plug that verb form into a sentence pattern.
Also, this course is proven to work for people from different ages and different backgrounds. That’s why we’ve included real students in the video lessons, not actors!
Will I still need a Spanish teacher?
To become fluent in Spanish (or any language) you need to practice speaking the language often. And practice is best achieved through real life and online experiences and/or with native speaking friends, family, or tutors. Boostcamp gives you all the tools, structures, materials, and motivation you need but you will still need to find opportunities to practice speaking Spanish.
