    When I did a firewalk with Tony Robbins about ten years ago, I walked across hot coals for fifteen feet without getting my feet burned. It was one of those defining moments that I will never forget.

    Experiencing the Spanish courses of Level 1 Spanish Power Verbs and then the Level 2 course was also a defining moment in my new expat life here in Mexico. And after both classes my feet are doing just fine, as well as my mind and heart.

    The Amazing Cortesía

    I decided to change my life by moving to Mexico in December 2017. In all the past years that I had traveled in Mexico I never knew about the social protocols, and did not use them. One of the first things that is in the Warren Hardy Spanish Level 1 course is the importance of the cortesía, or social protocols. When I started using the phrases and courtesy greetings that I learned from Webtutor – the online learning course from the Warren Hardy Spanish School, – it was and continues to be one of the most rewarding experiences of being here in Mexico in addition to speaking more Spanish.

    This has also been a defining moment for me, as not am I learning Spanish, I am “living the language” by using certain greetings in Spanish with local Mexicans here in San Miguel de Allende. The way that most respond with a return greeting shows me that they appreciate how I showed my respect for their culture by using these social protocols. They may have even been surprised as they may not have been used to being greeted by foreigners in this way. This was the “surprise” for me in learning the cortesía expressions in Spanish, using them in real life encounters with the Mexican people, and experiencing the culture on a whole different level. 


    This cortesía is not only used in Mexico, it is a common courtesy in all Spanish speaking countries. So if you’re traveling or moving to Costa Rica, or Peru, or Ecuador, or any Spanish speaking country, you will experience the culture on a deeper level by learning Spanish and practicing the cortesía..

    For me the cortesía alone is worth the value of the entire Webtutor course, which is now being offered at a reduced price. Yet there is so much more than cortesía. Besides basic grammar and vocabulary, there’s over one hundred core power verbs, and their conjugations, and a ton of exercises to use them in sentences. It’s like three courses in one. What is very cool about the classes taught at the school in San Miguel de Allende is that the content is duplicated exactly with the workbook and forty one videos in the online course Webtutor. And it’s packaged with a unique method of teaching by one of the most recognized Spanish language educators in the world, – Warren Hardy – according to International Living, a living and traveling abroad resource.

    So How Can You Quickly (and Easily) Learn to Speak Spanish? I’m David Brown, an expat blogger and “web guy”. Since I am a writer, I decided to break it down into ten reasons to learn Spanish online with Webtutor. 

    ( At the end you will also learn why studying Spanish makes your brain smile:) )
