This course was great! I've studied Spanish in the past but it's been a long time, and this was a great review. Silvana is a fantastic instructor, and was very encouraging in each class.

The beginner course did an excellent job of introducing us to several fundamentals of the Spanish language. Our instructor was patient, but still did a good job of pushing us along the material. I am looking forward to the next level class.

At age 70, I decided to try again to learn Spanish. I chose the Beginner's level because I needed the review and did not want to be "left behind in the dust" by younger students surging ahead with their quicker brains! I appreciated the way the course was structured. Common topics of "getting to know you" conversation were introduced early in the course. I felt I could quickly make sense of basic Spanish grammar which helped my ability to communicate more easily what I wanted to say. Many "holes" in my understanding left over from former beginning classes were filled in nicely. I feel much more confident about trying to communicate in Spanish (at least at a rudimentary level!)

Frequently asked questions

Most students become conversational after completing 5 levels (about 12-15 months of regular classes).
Yes! Most of our students are complete beginners. We designed our Beginners classes specifically for people with zero Spanish experience.
No. All Beginners students start at zero. Our teachers create a supportive environment where making mistakes is part of learning.
We teach grammar rules first, then practice. Apps make you guess patterns. Our method is faster for adults.
