Spanish Obsessed review

Spanish Obsessed is run by Rob, from England, and Lis, from Colombia, and teaches only Spanish. For a beginner the entry point is Foundations 1: 36 video lessons that go from your first hola to simple everyday conversations, with PDF notes for every lesson, exercises and 7 vocabulary tests. The course page estimates about 3 to 4 weeks at an hour a day, or a couple of months at 20 minutes a day, and lists one payment of $99 with lifetime access and a 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee. Foundations 2 and 3 carry you through A2. Once you want to speak with people, the Spanish Obsessed Academy runs 10-week live courses on Zoom with a native teacher and six students at most; courses open for booking were listed at $199 for 10 classes. The free podcast and guides let you hear the teaching style before you pay. The limit is scope: there is no daily drill app, and the Foundations series stops at A2.
