I think this class is very helpful and I do believe I am learning a lot. I like that we learn and especially speak which is what I would ultimately like to be more comfortable with. Monica is a great teacher and I am able to fully understand what she has us doing.

With very little background in the Spanish language, this course has allowed me to begin building a strong foundation in speaking Spanish. There's always opportunities to speak, read and practice in class with the instructor and classmates, and reinforce all the information learned through the homework. The structure of the course also allows for that flow where you're able to begin practicing the speaking and reading skills from day 1, which was important for me!

I've had to move around the scheduling of a couple of my classes- it was easy and all of my instructors have been so great! They teach with a laid back welcoming approach that makes it easy for me to just try (no real fear of mistakes!). Love it! I will be taking at least the next level class this year!

Excellent beginner Spanish class! Clear explanations, a comfortable pace, and a supportive learning environment made the class both enjoyable and effective. The instructor was patient and engaging, and I gained confidence in basic Spanish quickly. Highly recommend for beginners.

The methodology used is spot on, but the lack of a consistent instructor is not conducive for quality learning. You just get used to one instructor and another instructor is teaching.

Enjoyable instructors. Easy to follow lesson plans. Good structure for beginners.

Maria Chaname was a great teacher. She was very knowledgeable, supportive and kind. She taught in a way that supported my confidence in practicing a new language without feeling judged if I said something incorrect.
Overall the class does feel a bit fast paced and more techniques or practices in class to support memorization would be helpful.

I’ve really enjoyed taking this Spanish class with Silas. He is very kind, patient, and approachable, which makes learning feel comfortable and encouraging. One thing I especially appreciate is how he consistently reviews previous lessons, helping reinforce what we’ve learned and making sure no one feels left behind. His teaching style makes the class engaging and easy to follow, and I feel more confident building on my Spanish skills because of his approach.

Gloria had been a fantastic teacher and the on line programme has really worked.
Gloria is really patient but drives us to achieve. Having homework and going through it in class helps keep focussed. The programme is good too - I just need to practice more!
I am really enjoying the course and intend to continue to the next level.

This is a "refresher" for me as I took Spanish in high school. It is helpful for getting my brain thinking about what I knew a long time ago. Able to make me feel comfortable with verb conjugations and speaking in front of peers (and the teacher-Edgardo-for correction is helpful).

The class and teacher are very helpful! I feel that I am receiving a well executed plan for learning a basis for understanding and speaking the language. It is important for me to have accountability in some way; so the weekly class, with homework helps me stay motivated and committed to studying.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to learn Spanish with this method?
Most students become conversational after completing 5 levels (about 12-15 months of regular classes).
I've never studied Spanish before. Is this right for me?
Yes! Most of our students are complete beginners. We designed our Beginners classes specifically for people with zero Spanish experience.
Will I be embarrassed in class as a beginner?
No. All Beginners students start at zero. Our teachers create a supportive environment where making mistakes is part of learning.
How is this different from Spanish apps?
We teach grammar rules first, then practice. Apps make you guess patterns. Our method is faster for adults.
