Common Questions About Learning English

Is English a difficult language to learn?

For Spanish speakers, English isn’t considered a difficult language to learn. This is partly due to the fact that both languages are in the Indo-European branch of languages – Spanish is considered a Romance language, and English is a West Germanic language. As you study English, you’ll also discover the language borrows many words and phrases from Spanish, making the learning process easier.

How long does it take to learn English?

With Pimsleur, you can start to learn to speak English after your very first lesson! Other language learning programs take much longer. But Pimsleur puts you on the fast track to start speaking English conversationally in a matter of weeks. Give us 30 minutes a day, and you’ll be surprised how fast you can learn English online!

What are the main challenges Spanish speakers face when learning English?

One of the main challenges for Spanish speakers when they’re learning English is consonant clusters. Spanish rarely has words with two consecutive consonants, which you’ll have to learn. There are also some commonly used words in the English vocabulary that don’t translate directly from Spanish (words like “embarrassing,” for example). Plus, there are singular and plural differences you’ll discover as you take English lessons.

Why is English pronunciation challenging for Spanish speakers?

Proper pronunciation of English is one of the most important parts of learning the language. To speak conversationally with a native English speaker, you’ll have to deal with those consonant clusters mentioned above. Even single letters require sophisticated pronunciation – the letter H in Spanish is often silent but is typically sounded out in English (though not always). Thankfully, Pimsleur’s AI Voice Coach – with pronunciation feedback – will assist with all your English courses.

Is the English course suitable for complete beginners?

Novice learners are encouraged to sign up with a Pimsleur Premium subscription. Our English lessons are designed with beginners in mind – most of our learners acquire English with no previous experience with the language! As an added benefit, you can learn English anytime, anywhere with the Pimsleur app…our courses and learning material are always only a screen tap away!
