This was by far the best Spanish class I have taken with ‘real-time’ use of language. The instructor Nikki sets a wonderful mood with her enthusiasm and encouragement. We began speaking in Spanish immediately. All are encouraged to speak and the class is structured for a fun exchange with just the right amount of challenge. Grammar is taught in context of language usage with mini lessons. The presentation is creative as are the optional homework assignments. I highly recommend these enjoyable classes.
