TUTORIALS - SPANISH AND FRENCH SURVIVAL COURSE ESSENTIALS: from English or French and English and Spanish repectively, includes basic tourism and business travel needs It comprises six (6) lessons in twenty five pages, 60 minutes duration each. There are two ways to take it, either LIVE or ONLINE. The live at the Spanish Plus Services' location or elsewhere in Ottawa; the online through the Internet. It is the same course both ways.

ONLINE TUTORIAL IN COMPARISON TO LIVE: Each lesson online is equivalent to one live lesson, face-to-face teaching of 60 minutes duration (approximately), because when the student talks to the tutor while online, she/he knows the lesson already, has studied it, has worked out the drills, has communicated with the tutor by email and must have a set of questions prepared beforehand; thus, the talk time online between them is reduced to a functional one (15 to 30% of the 60 minutes in a live session comparatively and covers the whole lesson as well.
