FAQ

Our program teaches conversational Spanish that's perfect for travelers. While we focus on building a real language foundation rather than just memorizing tourist phrases, this actually serves you better when unexpected situations arise. You'll be able to construct sentences and adapt, not just repeat rehearsed lines.
We teach conversational Spanish through grammar and sentence-building that naturally includes travel situations - ordering food, asking directions, booking hotels, shopping, and more. The grammar foundation we provide lets you create sentences for any travel situation rather than being limited to scripted phrases.
For a basic travel foundation, we recommend at least 5-6 months of study before your trip. However, even a couple months of study will give you valuable skills and confidence. Many travelers continue learning after their trip once they experience the joy of communicating in Spanish.
Yes! Our instructors come from various Spanish-speaking countries, so you'll be exposed to different accents during your classes. We focus on teaching you clear, widely-understood Spanish while also helping you recognize regional variations.

I thought the course was great! I had taken Spanish in grade school as a child so I was starting for the basics. You learn a lot of foundational information in the class but its really up to you to practice what you’ve learned during the week so that it sticks.

This was a wonderful course. I actually had taken this course before. The second time around I got to appreciate the pace and level of the lessons much more as I was more relaxed and able to reabsorb the knowledge.
