Spanish for Kids and teens 

Online Spanish for Children & Teens

One pathway. Four stages. Spanish that grows with them.

A connected online Spanish pathway for children and teenagers, from their first encounters with the language to GCSE preparation and continued communication beyond the exam.

Each stage has a different purpose. We look at the learner’s age, current Spanish, previous experience, goals, maturity and group fit before recommending the most suitable course.

Which stage is right for my child?

Age is a useful starting point, but it does not decide placement on its own.

Bastos Foundations · Ages 7–12

For children beginning Spanish or needing regular, positive exposure to the language. Learners listen, respond, repeat, play and begin using simple Spanish through stories and guided interaction.

Main focus: familiarity and early participation.

Bastos Speaking · Ages 12–14

For learners who already have some contact with Spanish but need more opportunities to use it actively. Sessions include guided conversation, role play, picture description, questions and supported interaction.

Main focus: turning familiar Spanish into spoken responses.

GCSE Spanish Course · Ages 14–16

For students preparing for GCSE Spanish who would benefit from clearer structure, regular practice and more active participation.Before enrolment, we consider the learner’s GCSE stage, specification or exam board, current Spanish and group fit.

Main focus: structured, exam-aware preparation and active language use.

Bastos +16 · Ages 16–18

For older teenagers who are finishing or have completed GCSE-level Spanish and want the language to remain part of their life. Sessions explore opinions, culture, travel, future plans and everyday topics rather than focusing on direct grade intervention.

Main focus: continued communication beyond the exam syllabus.
