Frequently asked questions

I need to handle customer calls right away. How quickly can I start?

Most students can handle basic customer service conversations within 10-15 months of consistent study. While you won't be fluent immediately, you'll build the foundation needed for customer interactions, which you can then adapt to your specific products and services.

Do you provide scripts for common customer service situations?

We teach conversational Spanish rather than specific scripts. However, once you're conversational, you'll be able to adapt your company's scripts and procedures to Spanish, or create natural responses to customer needs without relying on rigid scripts.

What if I don't understand a customer or they speak too quickly?

We teach you how to handle real conversations, including how to politely ask for clarification or repetition. Our instructors expose you to various speaking speeds and accents during class, preparing you for real-world customer interactions.

Can our customer service team learn together?

Yes, if you have multiple team members at similar Spanish levels, we can arrange group classes. Learning together can help build shared vocabulary and create a more bilingual customer service culture.

This was exactly what I was looking for. My learning style is well supported by this classroom model and group process. Most Spanish lessons I found seem to be one-on-one tutors, which doesn't feel as helpful to me as a beginner yet. I appreciate the pacing and homework to keep practicing throughout the week.

Beginners Spanish has been a very good class overall. It helps to introduce students to the basics of Spanish. It is also a good baseline to prepare students who are interested in taking more complex levels later on. The textbook content also provides topics that are relevant to students daily lives, such as food, activities, places, etc.

The level I choose has NOTHING to do with our teacher (Claudia). She is doing a wonderful job. I wouldn't even say that the level I gave has to do with the material that the course uses. This level more reflects on the difficulty of teaching an on-line course and what I'd hope to get from the class. I even think part of it is that teachers are probably instructed to NOT encourage students to improve pronunciation, when (even to my untrained ears) I can hear that myself and other students ARE NOT pronouncing words correctly. Then you have students that clearly are not studying every week so the class moves along so slowly, which for me was frustrating. Not to mention the first to weeks of this 10 week course, we had a different teacher and it was confusing how she taught. The on-line class information was hard to follow, how courses, classes, assignments and things were linked was not clear and it was tough finding stuff on line.

I have taken Spanish classes in the past, but was looking for a complete refresher - this course starts from the ground up, and was easy to follow and understand. Our instructor is really knowledgeable, infuses lessons with Latin American culture, and meets students where they are at.

I think the method of instruction is good however the course was still challenging for me having never studied the language before. I would like to see opportunities for additional learning like optional study groups with other students to practice and to reinforce the learning. That said I enjoyed the course and will consider taking the next level course once I feel I have mastered this material. At this point (week 8) I am still stuggling to memorize all the vocab and the conjugation rules.

I’m very pleased with the beginner classes I’ve been taking. I had tried language apps before, but this program is so much better. My main reason for signing up was to finally understand the grammar, and these classes have absolutely delivered on that. Our teacher is excellent—professional, patient, and very clear. She explains grammar concepts in a way that makes them click, answers all our questions, and even prepares extra materials to reinforce tricky points. I also appreciate the homework; it’s purposeful and helps me practice what we learn in class. Overall, I’ve made real, noticeable progress in my Spanish, and I feel much more confident with the grammar that used to confuse me. Also, the website is very well organized. I really like that you can easily join another group if your schedule conflicts.

I have taken classes from multiple different instructors and they have all been great in their own way. I personally prefer some more than others, but regardless they all have helped me grow a lot and I am picking up so much on my Spanish! Gracias!
