FAQ

Yes. Parent-teacher conferences require clear, respectful conversation about student progress and behavior. Our program gives you exactly this foundation. You'll be able to discuss grades, homework, behavior, and concerns - the specialized education vocabulary will come naturally once you have conversational fluency.
We focus on general conversational Spanish rather than specialized education vocabulary. However, many teachers find that once they're conversational, they can easily pick up classroom phrases and education terms through their daily work or supplementary resources.
Many teachers can handle basic parent communications within 10-15 months of consistent study. Our small group classes and grammar-based method help you progress quickly, and you can start using simple Spanish with families even earlier.

Hola! This class was very helpful for my first steps of understanding the structure of Spanish language. Nelson is great teacher and he knows how to make those classes funny,so we can enjoy the process of learning the gramma and vocabulary with pleasure.

I enjoyed this class very much. I took Spanish in high school and I feel as if I learned more in the 10 weeks I took this class than I did throughout the first year of Spanish. It was accessible location wise, the homework was not too excessive, and I felt comfortable making mistakes and learning in the class. The instructor was easy to ask questions to and always helpful. I also appreciated the seamless way the course shifted to online learning due to the COVID-19 crisis. I will be taking Beginner's Level 2 with the same instructor and hope to stay with the institute for a while.

It was a good course. I felt like some of the lessons contained so much information they should have maybe been split into two classes but I understand the need to get through a certain amount of content.

Honestly I really loved this class. I loved my instructor. My only issue was that I thought there could have been more material. Our last 2 classes were basically review. Would have preferred using them for more material. Thank you.
