Hay que escoger bien el horario si estudias en grupo, porque no te puedes cambiar y uno no lee la letra pequeña en el contrato... Yo en mis primeros 2 niveles cometí el error de tomar intensivo porque quería aprender rapido, no tenia tiempo para estudiar y casi pierdo por asistencia, me enviaban recomendaciones y cosas para estudiar y casi no aproveche. Era muy pesado.... Mi ultimo asesor me dijo que lo mejor era no hacer intensivo y ahora estoy en menor intensidad y he sacado mas provecho. La mayoría de instructores me gustan, hay algunos que no son dinámicos y esos hemos pedido no los pongan a nuestro grupo. Estaba super inconforme pero ahora ha mejorado mi experiencia y progreso.

poor experience

I loved this class. But what made it was our amazing teacher. She was fun, patient and encouraging. I would highly recommend this course.

I had an excellent experience and it all had to do with having an excellent tutor. Many thanks to her for the progress that I've made!

My teacher Charnnette was so amazing! If it wasn’t for her I’m not sure I would have loved the classes as much as I did. She made everything very easy to learn and understand.

Fabulous program.

This teaching system is outdated and difficult to follow. The book has multiple errors. Lesson in Dative... Book materials in Akkus. Or vice versa. Spelling / Sie / Sie / sie issues... multiple errors noted. The teaching style doesn't meet the errors of different types of learners There is no ability to self guide / re-read the book since it isn't set up as a text-book. "Just Listen and repeat and osmosis learning" isn't how all adults learn. No english and no explanations... which means for learners who process and what to re-engage the materials it is impossible Instructors handbook is different than mine which means we aren't on the same page and get easily confused.

Overall the course is solid. I base this on 2 factors the instructor and the materials. 1. The instructor is outstanding and really makes a great learning environment. I owe my progress in learning a new language to her 2. The materials need work!!!!!!!! A. The material should be reviewed by a native speaker. Even I am finding mistakes and I am just learning the language. B. While there is recorded media available after the class for up to 1 year (this is awesome) it does not include access to any notes that may have been created during class. These notes are an integral part of learning and should be maintained with the course materials C. The materials could contain more content. While some of the later modules have significantly less content, that should change. In this case Less is not More. Additional content and exercises should be part of the curriculum/materials
