Although I learned a lot there was not enough actual speaking of Spanish. Half of the class was spent going over homework. I would propose that homework be submitted and the teach should review it where he would get an idea of what the students could use help on but there isn't a need to go over each answer.

It was a good course. I felt like some of the lessons contained so much information they should have maybe been split into two classes but I understand the need to get through a certain amount of content.

I enjoyed this class very much. I took Spanish in high school and I feel as if I learned more in the 10 weeks I took this class than I did throughout the first year of Spanish. It was accessible location wise, the homework was not too excessive, and I felt comfortable making mistakes and learning in the class. The instructor was easy to ask questions to and always helpful. I also appreciated the seamless way the course shifted to online learning due to the COVID-19 crisis. I will be taking Beginner's Level 2 with the same instructor and hope to stay with the institute for a while.

I was very pleased with this course and feel like I built up a good basis in basic Spanish grammar during the 10 weeks of classes. This was much due to my instructor, Maria Chaname, who was both engaging, humorous and strict in her teaching. I will thus be continuing with Level 2 with the same instructor.

The course was excellent. I would definitely recommend this course to someone wanting to expand their knowledge of Spanish and learn the basics. As an instructor, Juan Carlos was fantastic and I would definitely take a course from him again.

Loved the course, I've had previous Spanish classes but a long time ago. I took this class as a refresher because I knew that I forgot some of the finer grammar points. About two classes in we already covered something I was doing incorrectly. I also loved Juan Carlos' teaching style. He spoke a lot of extra Spanish to help get us accustomed to hearing it (ex: page numbers) this is a beginner class so he would also make sure to say it in English. He also put a lot of emphasis on students practicing speaking. That's my weakest point so I definitely appreciated the extra practice. I plan on taking as many classes with him as I can.

Hola! This class was very helpful for my first steps of understanding the structure of Spanish language. Nelson is great teacher and he knows how to make those classes funny,so we can enjoy the process of learning the gramma and vocabulary with pleasure.

This course is about learning the fundamentals of the language, not just popular phrases. It's great for someone wanting to truly learn the language. It is fast paced and there is a lot to remember, but Rolando was engaging, explained things concisely and was patient helping students work through stuff.
