  1. I have some experience with this, so I signed up just to respond! My 8yo son takes lessons from a tutor who lives in Spain via Skype. He's been doing this 3 hours a week for about a year. We found her through the website italki.com. It's a website where you can find professional teachers and tutors who are willing to teach you their native language over Skype (or other similar apps). Prices range quite a bit. From $10/hr up to $40/hr depending on the language that you're interested in. It's a bit tricky finding teachers who specialize in teaching young kids if that's what you need (there are tags you can look for), but I would encourage anyone who wants to find a foreign language tutor to check it out. I also recently found out about a company called Baselang, which is a Spanish tutoring service based out of Columbia. They provide unlimited 1-on-1 tutoring from professional teachers via video chat for a flat fee per month. This service would probably be most beneficial to an older, motivated student who is really interested in learning Spanish. I don't think I would try this service for young children. (under 12, but of course, each child is different) There are lots of good courses/apps out there for learning foreign languages and they can get you far, but nothing replaces speaking with someone whose native tongue is in the target language. I hope that helps!
