1. Learning Spanish Online
2. Who Benefits from online Spanish classes?  For the absolute beginner online classes offer the perfect introduction to the Spanish language. This is also a great option if you intend to come and study with us in Quito, especially if you would like to volunteer at the same time. This way you will be able to jump right into your project as you continue to learn Spanish  Students of International Relations, Global Studies, Development, etc, will especially appreciate Yanapuma’s commitment to sustainable development through our own foundation  Professionals who need to learn Spanish but who do not have the time to study abroad
3. • Medical and other health professionals, social/community workers who are working with Hispanic populations • Business people • Educators from kindergarten to university level • Government workers working with Hispanic populations  Students who need to learn Spanish as part of their studies  Those who simply want to learn a new language in a fun, exciting way without leaving their own home  Retired persons who want to learn Spanish as an interesting activity
4. How do online Spanish classes work?  What you will need:  A computer running Windows, Mac or Linux  A headset with earphones and microphone (preferred but not essential). You can use the built in microphone and speakers of your laptop, but sometimes they pick up a lot more external noise than with a headset.  A video camera, either built-in or external (preferred but not essential)  A Skype account (free!). Google Talk is another option, but we have found that Skype is generally the most reliable service with the best sound quality.
5. The Steps :  Register through the online system and confirm through your email.  The system will automatically give you one free credit for your trial class.  Choose a day, time slot and teacher that suits your schedule.  Take the trial class and discuss your learning needs with your teacher.  To continue taking classes, purchase the number of classes you require through Paypal.  Book your classes with the teacher of your choice. You can book by the week or you can book several weeks at once.  Be online when it is time for the class so that your teacher can connect with you.  The classes are 50 minutes long, so that either you or your teacher will have the opportunity to take a short break if the class is 2 hours or longer.
6. About US : Yanapuma has been offering Spanish classes and courses on line since 2007.

We also offer two Medical Spanish programs for doctors, students and health practitioners with an optional practicum in Quito or Cuenca. In addition we offer volunteer programs in Quito or Cuenca either with or without Spanish classes, and all around Ecuador.
