Spanish classes in Petaluma

The course was great for me to start learning Spanish! I already signed up for level 2. The homework was definitely a huge part of the course and you will fall behind if you do not do it but I found it enjoyable. I also was able to practice concepts I learned with my girlfriend who is fluent which I think was helpful. Overall, this is exactly what I was looking for (something to launch my Spanish learning beyond simple flashcards or a duo lingo equivalent). My only complaint is that the 10th course is just a review of the exam (takes place between 9th and 10th classes) and I feel more content could be covered by having another class worth of content and pushing out the exam to after the 10th class.

I liked that the course was on-line, the class consisted of 3-6 persons, and there were options of days and times - especially the availability of a Saturday class. The workbook was easy to understand and exercises helped with the retention of the language. At the end of the 10 week course I am able to read, write, understand and engage in a Spanish conversation. I cannot wait to start level 2.

Good process through out, Andres is very helpful and gives great background on language and good context for verbs and vocabulary

Great basics course to get a base knowledge of Spanish! A lot to learn but not too overwhelming.

An amazingly effective approach in my beginning to learn Spanish. I’d taken courses at college where I walked away retaining very little, or learning things that aren’t really used in daily Spanish conversations. This course however, was practical, fun and my professor was amazing!

The class was well structured. I enjoyed learning spanish using the book. The book is easy to follow, and the homework questions could really help me memorize everything. I also like that there are a lot of interactions between students and the teacher. We got to practice our pronunciation a lot. I joined the class without any Spanish background, but I really felt I was picking up fast. English is my second language, I never thought I would learn a third language. But I had so much fun....This morning, I passed the beginner's test and I have purchased the level 2 class with the same instructor (Juan Carlos Alvarez). Can't wait to go to the next level.
