Spanish classes in Palm Desert

This course was very informative, well organized and easy to follow. The ability to take classes at my own pace is appreciated and helpful. I would recommend this course to friends and family.

I really enjoyed taking this class and will be continuing to level II, and beyond! The textbook was very clear and useful, and the instruction was outstanding - Rolando was engaging, fun, explained concepts well, encouraged participation from everybody, and made class something I looked forward to each week. Administration is also top notch, very responsive, organized, and on top of things. I also appreciate receiving the follow-up emails every week with homework, grammar notes, and blog posts to keep students connected to learning. l'm very pleased and impressed all around with the quality of the teaching and the way this business is run. One of the best language schools in NYC I've attended (I've also studied French, Italian, and German at the premiere learning institutions here for those languages). I initially wasn't convinced that I wanted to invest my time in learning Spanish since I had no immediate purpose or motivation for it (i.e. for work or travel) and just took it up for fun, but had such a good first experience that I'm now kind of obsessed with improving my Spanish as much as possible! :D

I am very impressed with the course structure and competence of Instructors. The classes were super interactive. Being a newbie, I started this course on a nervous and self-doubting note. However, I feel very confident speaking basic Spanish after finishing it. Highly recommended for anyone willing to embark on this journey!

The course went very well because of the instructor as well as because of the framework for learning that is embedded in the materials. Andres is an excellent teacher. He respects students, clarifies what are sometimes complex grammar issues through his explanations, and supports and encourages everyone. The syllabus and materials are organized in ways that 1) support the development of deep understanding of the structures of the language as well as 2) provide opportunities for reading, writing, speaking and listening. I look forward to the next level.

The material is similar to any you might encounter in a typical language course but the instructor(s) really were the ones to make it come alive. In the beginning, before the group and the instructor got to know each other well, a lot of time was spent going over the correct answers to the homework, which reduced the amount of time to focus ahead if homework concepts were clear with the whole group. As time progressed and the instructor got to know the group better, the homework review became more dynamic and engaging. I think this was more due to the structure of the lesson than the instructor. The book and other course material was very good and the support and flexibility from the organization was great.

This course was detailed and well worth every penny spent.
