Awesome course - the teaching style and review is very formulaic and logical, which makes it easy with practice to retain what I'm learning. I love the supplemental material as well - newsletters, blog resources, and AI chat bot.

The workbook is easy to follow. Explanations are clear and concise. I suggest an index in the back of the workbook, so that topics can be found more easily for review purposes. Page numbers in the table of contents would also be helpful.

The course was a good beginning approach, stressing conversational skills, along with the necessary grammar guidelines. I liked the course book, which was less comprehensive, and less intimidating, than a typical beginning Spanish book (from what I remember from many decades ago), easing us into a practical learning mode.
