Frequently asked questions

My partner speaks Spanish. Will this help me communicate with their family?

Absolutely! Learning Spanish shows respect and commitment to your partner and their family. Conversational Spanish allows you to participate in family gatherings, understand conversations, and build genuine relationships with your partner's Spanish-speaking relatives.

How long until I can have meaningful conversations with my Spanish-speaking partner?

Basic conversations can happen within 10-15 months, but deeper, more nuanced discussions about feelings, plans, and experiences typically develop around the 16-24 month mark as you reach intermediate proficiency. Every bit of Spanish you learn immediately improves your communication.

Do you teach romantic or relationship-specific Spanish?

We teach conversational Spanish that naturally includes expressing feelings, discussing relationships, and sharing personal experiences. The grammar foundation we provide lets you express your own thoughts rather than relying on pre-made phrases, which is essential for authentic communication.

Can learning Spanish really help my relationship?

Many students report that learning their partner's language strengthens their relationship significantly. It shows commitment, allows you to connect with extended family, understand cultural context, and communicate when your partner prefers Spanish for emotional or important conversations.

Very good introduction to Spanish. Great for the complete beginner or for someone with a very basic knowledge of Spanish. Good instructors, good class participation and interesting content. Highly recommended!

I really enjoyed this online Spanish class. The level of difficulty is very suitable for beginners like me. It focuses on the most fundamental concepts, which makes it easy to follow and build a strong foundation. The lessons are clear, structured, and not overwhelming. I feel more confident starting my Spanish learning journey after taking this course.

I feel this class is moving very quickly for “beginner” Spanish, but Rolando makes it more fun.

Excellent course with an excellent instructor. The way the material is presented really aligns with how I think, which made retention much easier. I will definitely continue with additional levels.

This Spanish program is so well run. Because all the instructors teach the same lesson plan from week to week, I am taking the classes at a faster pace and try to take 3-4 classes each week. Thus far, I've worked with five different instructors and every one of the them have been very qualified and helpful. They are Spanish speakers who love to teach. I appreciate the order and pace of the learning and look forward to continuing through the levels and into the conversation levels. I would give this program 10 stars if there were more. I recommend it highly!

I have learned so much more than I ever thought I would. I almost wish my classes were twice a week for even more practice.

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.
