You won’t feel pressured when making purchasing decisions while investing in your Spanish, and you’ll be able to try various resources before sticking with your favorite. You’ll be able to afford 1-3 classes a month (depending on how expensive your teacher or tutor is) plus be abler to pay for additional resources comfortably. $20-30 x week – For me personally, this is how much I spend on my Spanish.If you can spend this much per week, leave your total exactly how it is. Many Spanish learners I know, especially polyglots who study various languages, spend this much per week on a language. With this much money you’ll be buying textbooks or subscribe to an app you like, as well as pay for an hour a month of private classes with someone who can help you with any problems you encounter. At any level, but especially up to A2-B1, you’ll find this a comfortable budget. Spanish is an amazing language that can bring a lot of wonderful new things into your life, least of all work and travel opportunities. $10-15 x week – As long as you can afford it, this amount is a great investment in your future.For B1 or B2 goal-setters, add +7% because some concepts (like the subjunctive or different pasts) will be hard without someone to help you. If your goal is A1 or A2, add +5% to your range since you’ll still be without professional help. You’ll still be without professional help if you need it, but A1 or A2 level learners might find this fine. If you have $20-25/month, you can still take advantage of a lot of the great free language things online, but now have some basic money for a workbook, an app subscription, or any other resource. $5 x week – if this is all you can afford, that works totally fine.My advice is that if you can afford even just $5 / week that you put that you invest it in your language learning life. While there are many AMAZING free resources online if you can’t pay for anything your Spanish learning experience can be extremely frustrating and discouraging. But spending $0 means getting stuck at paywalls in apps, not having any access to books if you can’t find your answer online, and not being able to hire a tutor. There are some people, maybe the very young or very poor. But if you want to do this for your first week or two, then dial it back to a smaller amount per week, it’s a nice way to start yourself on the right foot. Besides that, it’s largely unsustainable and honestly boring. If I have a reason why I need to really have my Spanish looking it’s best (maybe a meeting with an important client or a trip to the islands) I’ll dedicate 60-90min to learning Spanish every day for 1-2 weeks.
