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

Good pace and great instructors. The homework was good and I felt like I learned the fundamentals well.

The teacher was excellent. Good pronunciation help and did a nice job explaining topics. However, he consistently started the class 5 to 10 minutes late because his other class ended too soon to make it on time (not his fault—this is on Berges). Also, because we reviewed the homework so much each class, we didn’t have as much time to learn new topics and practice conversation. I would’ve preferred just receiving the answers via email and having 20 minutes to ask questions about it (and then focusing on new topics). Also, I was sad to see that the teacher was substituted on the last 2 days of the class. This was frustrating.

The written materials were extremely helpful, and the teacher was knowledgeable and patient. As someone who hasn't taken a Spanish course since college (a long, long time ago), I thought the course was excellent.

It was a good beginners class! The content was easy to understand and the instructor was very patient and helpful! Online course was convenient for me and will take another course in the future!
