Frequently asked questions

I need to conduct interviews and explain benefits. Will this help?

Yes. Once you have conversational fluency, you'll be able to conduct interviews, explain benefits, discuss policies, and handle employee relations in Spanish. The grammar-based foundation we provide lets you communicate clearly about any HR topic, even if you occasionally need to look up specific terminology.

Do you teach HR-specific vocabulary and terminology?

We teach conversational Spanish through grammar and sentence-building. The specialized vocabulary for benefits, policies, employment law, and HR procedures can be learned more easily once you have this conversational foundation. Many HR professionals supplement with industry glossaries.

How quickly can I start communicating with Spanish-speaking employees?

Most students can handle basic workplace conversations within 10-15 months of consistent study. This allows you to communicate with Spanish-speaking employees about basic HR matters, with more complex discussions developing as you progress to intermediate proficiency.

Will this help me create a more inclusive workplace?

Absolutely. When HR professionals speak Spanish, Spanish-speaking employees feel more supported and included. You'll be able to communicate directly about important workplace matters, ensuring all employees have equal access to HR services and information.

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!

I have enjoyed the classes. They are structured and there is a lot of repetition which helps me to learn the language.

The programme has taken us through a logical and enjoyable way of beginners Spanish. I have enjoyed working with the group and Monica is an excellent teacher. She is very knowlegdeable, approachable and empathetic. I have tried learning via apps, but there is nothing like having someone who can explain things and answer questions.

The method is incredibly effective. I feel that I’ve retained most of the skills we learned—and we covered a lot. The classes are engaging while remaining focused and content-rich. It was well worth the time and money. The instructor, Monica Negron, is excellent.

I’ve enjoyed the class. The pace was about right. Fast enough to challenge but not so fast that I could not keep up. The instructors were knowledgeable and encouraging.
