New Web Tutor teaches Spanish using Phone and Internet

November 02, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Education News
Aug.2007,Phoenix, Arizona, MultiLingual Center announces the launch of its new live online Web Tutor using a Telephone and Internet via their website www.multilingualcenter.com Using the Internet, students learn Spanish without driving to a physical classroom. Students take instructor-led Spanish lessons from home, office, or when they travel, from hotels. It's like having a personal tutor at home. When the teacher is typing, students see it through the website. Students need only a phone and a computer with Internet access.Since the teacher is with the student all the time over the phone, students ask questions and teachers correct the student's pronunciation. It's better and faster than learning from CD's.

For the last five years, MultiLingual Center has taught Spanish to hundreds of students using native Spanish speaking teachers. MultiLingual Center offers more than 20 instructor-led courses online, from general Spanish (Beginners to Advanced) to Conversational Spanish and Spanish for the workplace (healthcare, law enforcement, educators, landscaping, sales).

A representative for MultiLingual Center stated:"Students can learn Spanish in less than 24 hours of classes! It is fun, exciting, and rewarding. Students put it in their resume and find bilingual jobs. Our live online Spanish instructors give students lessons in concrete, everyday Spanish language expressions. Most other Spanish programs have students repeating and memorizing thousands of vocabulary words. Students don’t want to spend time memorizing vocabulary words. They have enough stuff to memorize!

Students' responses have been very positive, here are some testimonials:

Cynthia Godfrey, "I enjoyed the interaction of the teacher and other students."

The pronunciation is the hardest part, so it was more effective to hear the instructor speak the words first." Elizabeth Santana, "I love the fact that she repeats and builds on lessons previously learned ….she teaches with confidence and because her native language is Spanish, I feel I am getting more insight into the language of Spanish."
