Student Reviews
"I really enjoyed. Good to have small group breakouts with classmates.”
"The teacher was engaged, organized, and dynamic."We covered a lot of content and I liked the variety of book and outside exercises!"
"Teacher maintains a very social environment, instruction is largely about conversational and listening practice rather than droll textbook material. Specific practice is paced with funny anecdotes from the teacher, all in Spanish and at a reasonable speed."
"The focus is on conversation, and improving our comprehension and speaking. The instructor was very good at working with the many different levels of students who were in the class, and being sure that all were challenged and learned something. Overall a really good, supportive learning atmosphere."
