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.

Maria has a lovely personality and is very engaging. I have a background in language teaching (ESL) and I found the structure of the book unclear. Maria did a good job in clarifying it all, but I think more effort should be put into improving the workbook.

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.

Relatively straight forward for a beginner class.
