Why Spanish?
Four reasons to take Spanish classes
LA runs on Spanish
Spanish is the home language for nearly 3.5 million people in LA County, more than in any other U.S. county. Our tutors teach private lessons online or in person, from Long Beach up to Sunland. Whatever you pick up in class, you can try out that same week at the panadería down the street.
Spanish for the screen
Actors book Spanish lessons with us ahead of auditions and shoots. Tessa Thompson worked on her Spanish with one of our dialect coaches for the film War on Everyone, and we coached Camilla Belle in Argentine Spanish for her role in Amapola.
Spanish with classmates
Each term our Spanish groups run from Spanish 1 up to advanced conversation, some meeting in person in LA and some online. Every so often we also take over the back patio at Club Tee Gee in Atwater Village for Language Aperitivo, a free happy hour where you can practice on people outside your class.
Classes for your team
We've taught Spanish to the LA Galaxy front office and to Lakers and Clippers executives. If your company wants a class of its own, we'll set up a private group at your office or online.
Since 2006
Spanish in Los Angeles
Strommen has been matching students with private Spanish tutors in Los Angeles since 2006. We run private lessons and group classes, including beginner intensives, conversation workshops, Spanish for actors, and even a Bravo Reality Show Spanish class. Spanish is our most popular language by far, and our tutor roster reflects that. Whether you need Spanish for work, travel, family, or the entertainment industry, we have a tutor or a group that fits.
Los Angeles is the second-largest Spanish-speaking city in the world after Mexico City. Spanish is everywhere: in the neighborhoods, the restaurants, the businesses, the entertainment industry. A lot of our students are professionals who work with Spanish-speaking colleagues and clients, actors preparing for roles, parents who want to speak with their kids in Spanish, and heritage speakers filling in the formal grammar they never learned at home. We also run corporate Spanish programs for companies like LA Galaxy, LAFC, the LA Lakers, and the LA Clippers.
Our Spanish tutors and dialect coaches have worked on over 150 film and TV productions. We run a Spanish for Actors course and have coached talent across Netflix, Disney, Marvel, and Showtime. That same precision carries into every private lesson and group class. We match you with a native speaker who teaches the way Spanish is actually spoken in Mexico City, Buenos Aires, or Madrid, depending on what you need.
“When I started, I could barely put together a full sentence. Now I'm having phone calls with my Colombian in-laws that meander from topic to topic. … That is quite an accomplishment for a class that meets only once a week for about an hour.”Agatha P. — Spanish group class with Fernando · Google review, Oct 2025

View Group ScheduleSpanish class FAQ
Should I take private or group Spanish classes?
A private lesson is just you, or you and a friend, with a tutor we've personally vetted, at times you choose from their calendar. You can move a lesson as long as you give 24 hours' notice. A group class has a fixed weekly slot for an eight- or nine-week term, and the hourly price is a lot lower. Classmates also share the spotlight, so there's less pressure on you each time you speak. Some students take a group for the weekly practice and book a private lesson now and then for the parts that won't stick.
How long does it take to learn Spanish?
The State Department's Foreign Service Institute, which teaches languages to U.S. government staff, counts Spanish among the languages closest to English. Its full-time Spanish course still runs about 30 weeks, or 690 hours of class, to bring a student's speaking and listening up to a professional level. You'll be holding simple conversations long before that. At your first lesson, your tutor will hear where you're starting from and sketch out how far a few hours a week will get you. For a trip or a move with a fixed date, look at our intensive Spanish tutors, where students usually book five to ten lessons a week.
Do you offer Spanish for actors?
Yes, for auditions and for roles you've already booked. Send us your sides or the script, and your coach will drill those exact scenes, down to the regional accent the character needs. Our Spanish dialect coaches also do this work on set for film and TV. See our production resume or read about language classes for actors.
Do you have a free Spanish level test?
Yes. The Spanish level test is about five minutes of grammar and vocabulary questions, with no account to create, and it places you on the CEFR scale between A1 and C2. Each class in our group schedule shows its CEFR level, so you can pick the right one before you enroll. Speaking isn't part of the test, and your tutor will still want to hear you talk at the first lesson.
Can I take Spanish classes online?
Yes. Every class in our Spanish group schedule is marked Online or In-Person, and you can filter the schedule to show just one kind. Most of our Spanish tutors also teach private lessons by video. If you'd like to sit across the table from your tutor, our in-person groups meet around LA, and our Spanish tutors in Los Angeles page shows who teaches private lessons in person.
Do you teach Spanish to kids?
Yes. For kids who are new to Spanish, or kids at a dual-language school who need to fill some gaps, start with our Spanish for Kids tutors. If Spanish is spoken at home but slipping in your children, our Spanish for Children tutors focus on heritage families.
