  • Hola, Okay, let me start off by saying this is a great course for those who are disciplined and really willing to learn and don't need constant prodding or pressure to study. I took a couple of courses 2 years ago and wasn't really into it. I was very busy at work. However, what this school offers you is a tiered program and a lot of interaction with other students, so it's more of an immersion than studying. The other part is that they don't give you tests (which I respect, but is a total downside for me because if I don't have pressure, I don't do well, so I was more focused on the cute girls). So why should you take this course? -Price - only $255 for 10 week course -You are travelling somewhere in Latin America (this is Latin American Spanish not Spain Spanish, which I learned that there are quite a few differences) -You have good self-discipline and can/will practice at home. -You have co-workers from Latin America and want to impress them that you know a bit of Spanish Why you shouldn't attend here -you want to know all the in's and out's of Spanish history -you are too busy at work or school to concentrate and practice at home. -you need tests to get you to study -you need to write professional business letters in Spanish -you want professionally trained teachers (most of these people are part-time) All this being said, the only reason I didn't learn a lot was because I wasn't totally into it and all my travel seemed to coincide with the key classes. So that is MY FAULT!. So I think if paid attention, studied, I would have learned a lot more and would give it four stars. The only problem is that from beginner level to intermediate level is a huge jump and don't warn you of that leap. When I went to the intermediate level, the director of the school called out 5-6 people in class to hang back and tell them they weren't ready. I was one of those. However, I found this extremely embarrassing and turned me a bit off and that is why I am docking a star to 3 stars. He wasn't wrong, but could have done this so much more discreetly. Otherwise, take a few beginner courses and if you study, you'll definitely learn a bit. Adios
