Welcome to Spanish Learning Centre. The courses that we offer are competitive and of a high professional standard. You will enjoy learning Spanish with experienced teachers, while having fun in a relaxed and comfortable environment.

The director and instructor, Patricia Braun, has operated Spanish Learning Centre in Brisbane since February 2004. She also has more than a decade of international Spanish teaching experience in Norway and Sweden.

At Spanish Learning Centre programs are available from Beginners Level 1 up to Conversation according to your knowledge and requirements. You will receive certification from Spanish Learning Centre upon completion of the full course upon request.

Remember that just being a native Spanish speaking person is not a qualification for being a good teacher.

Spanish Learning Centre only hires instructors who have broad experience in the skills of teaching, as well as in-depth knowledge of both Spanish and English. Time and money can be wasted if the teacher is unqualified and inexperienced. Customer value results from our instructors having the skills necessary for explaining course content in a way that students can understand.

Spanish Learning Centre is a registered and privately owned and managed business.

Because the Spanish Learning Centre is registered, we can provide tax invoices, professional quality, certification and peace of mind that many unregistered people advertising language courses cannot provide. Because we are the owners you are the most important people to us. We strive to do our best to ensure that each student feels comfortable in the course and is following the class. You will not just be a number or a face in the crowd at our courses.

Have you planned a dream holiday to Spain or to South America?

Not so many Spanish-speaking people speak English. You will need to speak Spanish in order to get around and to interact with local people or to do business. It will be an amazing experience to understand Spanish, so you can get to know the culture via songs, dance and food.

Why Spanish is a good choice for your second language:

Spanish is the most commonly spoken language in the world, after Chinese and English. Over 300 million people in the world speak Spanish. Nineteen countries speak Spanish in Latin America. As an English speaker, you already have a vocabulary that contains words that can be slightly changed to become Spanish words. You will be excited to start out on your venture of learning Spanish with a large, ready-made vocabulary. Learn the beauty and the rhythm of spoken Spanish.
