In today’s world, having a strong command of English is becoming increasingly essential. Unfortunately, Spain's education system has been struggling for decades, leaving younger generations at a disadvantage compared to other European countries [1]. According to the latest Eurostat data, 46% of Spain’s population aged 25-64 cannot speak any foreign language—one of the lowest rates in the European Union [2].
One major issue is that Spain’s school system allows non-native English teachers with only a B1 or B2 level of proficiency to instruct students. This level is far from sufficient to provide children with the skills needed to express themselves fluently in English or understand the language at a bilingual level.
Given the current state of English education in Spain, there is a clear need for more native English teachers who take a different approach to language learning. Relying solely on tedious grammar drills and basic question-and-answer exercises does little to improve a student’s ability to communicate effectively. Instead, English classes should emphasize practical, real-world usage of grammar and vocabulary. Students should engage in continuous conversation with their teacher and peers, allowing them to develop their skills naturally. When learners understand grammatical structures within the context of real conversations, they can apply their knowledge more effectively across speaking, reading, listening, and writing—without the frustration of memorizing complex syntax rules.
If you feel that your years of studying English haven’t given you the proficiency you need, booking a class with a native English teacher could be the perfect solution. A skilled teacher can help you practice speaking, build confidence, and refine your skills to the point where you feel comfortable holding conversations in English. This can open doors to new professional opportunities, particularly in international and European companies where English proficiency is a key requirement. Don’t let language barriers hold you back—start your journey today!
