Course testimonials
-
Julia said: I liked the format of the class, working through the exercises as a group, rather than in breakout rooms. I felt this was more time-efficient. The course covers a lot! It was quite challenging, and I didn't always keep up, as we moved fast. But it was good, and I would actually consider doing it again to help reinforce what I learned/refreshed. Juan is a good tutor and patient with the class.
-
Helen said: The tutor provided detailed notes and exercises that were worked through in class and will be a great resource for future Spanish studies.
