Learning your native tongue is an organic process that starts before you are two and continues into adulthood. You learn by repetition and imitation, in a grammar-free zone. By age eight or so, communication paths are well established. The words you know are the words used in the playground,  in the classroom and at home.

As you get older, word knowledge grows with you, depending on your interests, education, sports, work and social life.

But make the jump from your native tongue to a second language as an adult, and you suddenly realise you don’t know the new language equivalent for thousands of words you use as an adult.

So you turn to the web, only to discover that the common apps are busy teaching you random words, not the words you want or need to use.

Now there is a solution. WordAmigo allows you to build your own learning system. You can learn the Spanish words you need or want to live, work and play in Spain.

The AI-powered WordAmigo system has been developed as a collaboration between James Bretherton, a dual native speaker, the very experienced and highly regarded principal of James Spanish School and a team of English-speaking expats with an advanced IT background, living and working and playing in Spain. We have drawn on the collective experience of thousands of Expats, building specialised subject lists with almost 11,000 word pairings.  

Artificial Intelligence alone is definitely not the solution; if it were, there would be no collective frustration for the assorted online apps.   

The actual solution is a careful mix of intelligent classroom teaching,  proven online testing methods, extensive experience with second languages, profound immersion living in Spain and cutting-edge technology.  (Quite a bit more than an automated system  smeared quickly across 40 languages, can possibly match ) 

With WordAmigo, you can quickly select words you need or want from more than 150 subjects. You can listen to them being spoken in English and Spanish, and then speak them to perfect your pronunciation. Learning and testing, listening and speaking, until you are confidently using them in conversation.
Now you are talking as an adult, about subjects you want or need.

It’s a systematic approach, an essential step on the road to fluency.

Welcome to WordAmigo, the perfect companion for any Spanish language course.
