this is the school to check out first...

by debbieg1234

I've taken Spanish before, and have been wanting to take a class again, but have also been a little apprehensive. Checking out the options, Spanish Circle is the only place I have found where, if you have a background, you can visit a class once. I have only gone to one class, and I loved it. I chose Spanish Circle not only because of their website, but also because of reviews here on Citysearch. So here is my advice to you, fellow citysearchers: don't just skim their website and any correspondence, read them carefully. They will tell you exactly what you need to do. So, I visited my class, and ended up being bumped out because I did not respond the next day and register. This was not in the 'fine print', I just didn't follow their instructions. Fortunately there is room for me in another class with the same instructor, but on a different night at a different time.

  • Pros: The option to visit once is great!

IF YOU REALLY NEED TO LEARN SPANISH THIS IS THE PLACE!

by 7735531000

AS AN 12TH YEAR EDUCATOR I WAS REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THE APPROACH, COST, REVIEW, AND SUPPORT! I WILL ADMITT THERE WERE DAYS HERE AND THERE THAT I WAS SCARED TO ATTEND CLASS FOR NOT BEING "PREPARED" BUT WENT ANYWAY. AFTER THE CLASS I WAS MORE COMFIDENT AND HAVE BEEN TOLD BY NATIVE SPEAKERS THAT MY SPANISH IS IMPROVING. LETS GET TO THE MAIN REASON I AM STUDYING SPANISH! WELL NOT ONLY AM I MARRIED TEN YEARS TO A LATINA NATIVE TO MEXICO BUT WE DECIDED TO MOVE MEXICO IN 2010 NOW THANKS TO GWB IT WILL BE 2011. I AM GOING FOR GOOD NOT TO CANCUN TO ORDER A BEER AT SENIOR FROGS BUT TO NAYARIT AND I AM NOT LOOKING BACK. THIS COURSE IS WELL WORTH THE TIME, MONEY ETC. I AM SO INTO THIS COURSE A DAY DOES NOT GO BY THAT I DON'T WORK WITH THIS COURSE AND THINK OF MOVING TO NAYARIT MEXICO. 99.9% OF MY STUDENTS ARE LATINOS MEXICANOS. LASTLY I AM NOT AFRAID BUT PROUD TO DISPLAY MY SPANISH SKILLS AND EXCITED TO READ, HEAR, SPEAK, AND WRITE THESE LESSONS. 86 WEEKS I HAVE STUDED AND IT SEEMED LIKE YESTERDAY THAT I WAS IN THE FOUNDATIONS LEVEL. THEY EVEN OFFER CPDU HOURS THESE ARE THE HOURS NEEDED TO RENEW TEACHER CERTIFICATIONS! YOU DON'T EVEN NEED TO BE "SERIOUS" TO STUDY IF YOU JUST WANT TO LEARN SPANISH THIS IS ALSO THE BEST PLACE! I AM TIRED SOMETIMES AND NEED A BREAK AS WELL BUT THIS COURSE REALLY WORKS TO ENPOWER YOU AND KEEP YOU LEARNING WITHOUT HOURS AND HOURS OF STUDY. I PAID $400.00 TO STUDY A COLLEGE COURSE. WHAT A JOKE BY WEEK THREE I WAS LOST! THIS COURSE NOT ONLY GAVE ME KNOWLEDGE BUT CONFIDENCE AND THAT IS PRICELESS IN THE REAL WORLD! A++++

  • Pros: LOCATIONS, COST, CONTENT,AND APPROACH
  • Cons: NONE EVER!

It's not what I was expecting!

by terrafirma2

I see that the previous reviewer was disappointed because he/she didn't hear back from them quickly. I had a similar experience at the beginning of the year and was a bit annoyed. Their voice mail was often full, it took about 2 weeks after I filled out the information form before I got a response, and about another 2 weeks before I was able to visit a class, but once the ball got rolling, things moved quickly. In the end, they were very apologetic and ended up pro-rating out a couple of classes when I joined. I have been very happy with the program, my instructor (hola, Freddy!) and my classmates.

  • Pros: fun, interesting approach to learning Spanish
  • Cons: waiting to start
