LightSpeed Spanish

Gordon Smith-Durán and Cynthia created LightSpeed Spanish in 2008, offering upbeat lessons and resources for learners of Castilian Spanish.

LightSpeed Spanish is a husband and wife team that has been helping students to improve their Spanish language since 2008. Their strong online presence across all platforms has allowed them to become one of the major Spanish language teachers that focus on Castilian Spanish from Mainland Spain. Cynthia is from Madrid in Spain and Gordon hails from the north of England and both are passionate about language learning and helping others to achieve their learning goals. Their ethos is simple: "Learning should be fun!" With that in mind, their lessons are always upbeat and filled with memorable moments that help the Spanish to stick. They have created a library of resources, many of them free, that can be found through their website, plus multiple, best-selling study books that can be found on all Amazon outlets.
