Do the courses include any written material?

Yes. There are written notes for each chapter. These are online, and easily printed. Chapter notes include things like the phrases for that chapter, words that appear for the first time in that chapter, verb conjugations for that chapter, and idiomatic expressions that appear for the first time in that chapter.

Is previous experience necessary?

No previous experience is necessary for our courses. But, if you are completely new to Spanish, we do recommend that you complete our free pronunciation tutorial before you begin. It will only take a few minutes.

Will previous experience be helpful?

With languages, more practice is always beneficial. If you've had one or two years of high school Spanish, you'll probably complete the course more quickly than if you've not had any experience at all.
