I enjoy how this course is structured to gradually introduce the fundamentals of learning to communicate in Spanish. Each week offers segmented batches of vocabulary, in addition to rules for how these words should be properly structured and used in everyday scenarios. If you put in the time to memorize and practice the new vocabulary introduced each week to stay up with the class, then you will surely see progress.

Excellent course. I feel as though I learned a lot in a short amount of time. The classes were fun and interesting with Edgardo and he made concepts very clear. He was also very patient and supportive. I am continuing on with him, and feel that I will get the best possible education in Spanish.
