About NuLengua
NuLengua is a service for people who want to learn Spanish quickly and thoroughly using a private tutor (one-on-one lessons). Our teaching methodology and services have been developed by a team of professionals with over 100 combined years of experience in Spanish education, computational linguistics, foreign languages, and cognitive & behavioral psychology. This mix of elements in an interactive, immersion-style environment produces an unrivaled learning experience to enable you to excel in conversational Spanish in the shortest time possible. Live, interactive instruction with a native Spanish speaker is critical in establishing the proper associations and neural pathways that allow you to learn Spanish quickly and recall it instantly. We offer bilingual tutors to ease beginners into our immersion Spanish methodology, and have a dedicated customer care associate standing by to assist students with any concerns that they might have.
For much less than the cost of a teacher in New York, Toronto, or London, students can receive live Spanish instruction from certified instructors who currently teach students visiting their schools from around the world. Our teachers have been selected based on experience and a desire and ability to teach in this medium.
Free VoIP services and the availability of high speed Internet access in the areas where our partner language schools reside make this service possible. We use Skype as the platform to deliver instruction. This allows teachers and students to leverage both the Voice and Chat features of this service to maximize the learning experience.
Global Outreach
At NuLengua we are firm believers in the ability of consumers and businesses to change the world. A percentage of the site proceeds go to local Guatemalan charities, but your participation in this service generates far more than just charity. By receiving online Spanish instruction, you are empowering workers in developing nations (i.e., Guatemala) by allowing them to earn a living wage. Moreover, this builds into the education and infrastructure of the local community by providing workers with Internet access, computers, and training. You may not need to leave the comfort of your house to take a lesson at NuLengua, but your impact can be felt across the world. Together we can help make a difference in the fight against poverty and bring relief to the world's poor.
We are also proud supporters of various medical missions teams, Engineers Without Borders, Appropriate Infrastructure Development Group, and other groups from industrialized nations serving in Latin America. If you would like to see how we can assist your group, please contact us.
