As the class became smaller, I had good chance to listen to and try to speak. The instructor encourages all of us to speak which was good. Yes, it is not easy to learn to speak, but I am feeling positive to continue. The structure of the class, that is, to give topics in advance is good as we can prepare.

This course was very good with a good foundation for each lesson with some pre class assignments. The instructor was flexible and paid attention to the deficits of each student - we were very few students but even so I have been in other classes where this did not happen

In my opinion, there were two issues with the basic conversation classes: there were students, who were not on a basic level, but higher and they would be taking over the conversation way too often the subjects were a little too difficult for basic conversation

Enjoyed class and got good practice speaking. Didn't think the homework added value or helped with conversation (and we often didn't talk about it). And sometimes the instructor would talk about controversial topics that could have offended some people.

I take this course because there are no other grammar courses available. The conversation class is good to practice but it doesn't help improve grammar. I with each level of grammar classes had more options with more su levels to practice examples and more phrases and useful expressions. Maybe it's a good idea to add more grammar courses and books.

The class is very free flowing and Elena allows you to discuss any topic that you are interested in. I felt I made measurable improvement over the course of 10 weeks.

Basic Conversation was a good class as it challenged me to really put everything I learned in Levels 1-5 into practice. The class was well paced and the instructor was very patient with us!

I really enjoyed this class, because we students and Nicolas always got it going - with humor - on topics about which we all had strong opinions. Time cut the discussions short every week, and Iâm already missing everyone who was in our class. It begins at the head of the class, and Nicolas Zuluaga is, quite simply, a great teacher.

I thoroughly enjoyed the class and did not experience the complaints I saw online. I enjoyed the flexibility to visit anither class.

The course was great because the flexibility of the instructor allowed us to focus on current events instead of the book. I learned a ton of new vocabulary because of the interest in current issues and local politics. The atmosphere of the class with Nicolas was very comfortable, inclusive and expansive.

Edgardo is an excellent and patient instructor. I very much enjoyed his class. However, I didnât enjoy the book associated with the class. I think the stories are much too difficult for this level.

Our instructor was warm and enthusiastic. The mix of students was good. Each week we all had the chance to speak and converse with the teacher and other students

Although I can improve my vocabulary through books, this course made me feel comfortable actually speaking the language -- my ultimate goal.
