Great teachers
I learned a lot in a short period of time and had a good time doing so. The weekly class was a lot of fun.
CAPractical and Balanced Course
I am an adult student, living life and now taking a Spanish course. Celina is most helpful and understanding. The pace of the introductory class is best suited for me and I am able to tackle assignments in the time allotted. Celina is great. Can't wait for the next course!
