Hablar, hablar y hablar con profes geniales y alumnos de todo el mundo es la base para aprender una lengua.
Si quieres aprender una lengua, es mejor aprenderla con nativos en grupos pequenos a la hora que te gusta y en el nivel adecuado para ti.
También tienes la oportunidad de escribir un texto después de cada clase para mejorar tu escritura. El feedback de la clase y también de la escritura me ayuda mucho mejorar mi espanol.

They are wonderful.
This is a great program. The only downside is that in the group classes, sometimes there are students who try to dominate the conversation and do not allow equal time to others. In general, the professors do their best to stop this from happening, but not always. It may help if there is some kind of general announcement or slide at the beginning of each class reminding students to be mindful that they do not monopolize the conversation.

Beware of expiration date of your "plan."
My plan expired after having had it for a year. Was never told up front that there was an "expiration" date so I lost over $300.00 in group and private lessons. Was told that this is the same policy as Italk and other similar online programs. I told them that I was not paying for the services of other online similar programs but spending money with their company. I was then told to read the small print...there wasn't any. I contacted my credit card company and they finally resolved the matter.

Art, we are sorry you had a bad experience. It is true that you lost your classes because they expired. However, we offered you the possibility to extend your account for 1 more year including private classes and group classes, at no cost, for free, so you could actually use all the classes. We have a 30-day full money back guarantee. But on your case, you requested a full refund 14 months after your purchase, unfortunately this we cannot do.

Simply the best Online Spanish School!
I scoured the Google for an Online Spanish School, one where I could learn the language pretty much from scratch, as I am a beginner. I tried many other online Schools during my trial period with StartSpanish.com and I can honestly say this, StartSpanish.com has it all.
You have access to a very comprehensive and interactive self study course, consisting of 30 units and each unit is split into 3 lessons. It covers topic related vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, videos, exercises and tests and you can retake them as many times as you want. The group classes are great too, every day there is a new topic for levels ranging from beginner to advanced. The teachers are really friendly and professional, and they are always happy to explain something in English if your Spanish is a little rusty. You have access to unlimited group lessons each month and you get detailed feedback by email after class. You also have the option to complete writing task based on the group lessons you attend, which the teachers will in turn grade and provide detailed corrections and feedback.
You can also book private lessons and some subscriptions include either 2 or 4 private lessons per month.
I strongly recommend this Online Spanish School to anyone who would like to learn Spanish from the comfort of their own home!

Excellent
The teachers really want their students to learn. There is much more to StartSpanish than hourly classes. I have started using the grammar guides and find those a great means to learn and to reinforce what
I have learned. I think StartSpanish this is the best internet source to learn Spanish. Its fun and we get to meet people around the world.

Simply the BEST
I signed up with StartSpanish before the trial ended because I have thoroughly enjoyed the quality of classes and resources that you provide your students.
These are some of the BEST teachers that I have ever had and they literally leave me feeling motivated that I can finally check becoming fluent in Spanish off of my bucket list. Keep up the great work! :)

¡Estupendo!
I have to agree with my fellow students. The very concept of a website where you can take your Spanish lesson at any moment you want or at any moment which suits you, talk in small groups with professional native speaking teacher for more than a reasonable price is great. However, it gets even better. Thanks to the all the people who work for startspanish.com. The lessons are very interesting, the content varies from day to day (focusing on all the aspect of a language- listening, speaking, grammar, reading...), the teachers are just fantastic, very nice, patient and helpful. The tech support service is impeccable, when the serious problem occurred, they called me from headquarters and helped me resolve it in 5 min so I could continue in my lesson without any trouble. You can do a writing exercise after each class to strengthen new vocabulary and follow "My Course" which is an intuitive learning of the grammar rules throughout the stories of a funny fictional family "Los Reyes".
To be honest, I had not been learning Spanish before I started with startspanish.com (all those free and payed web programs and books are not enough). Now I can feel I progress with each week and each day. The community is also great, full of welcoming and open minded people from all around the world and we have our private version of "facebook" too! Startspanish.com is doomed to a great success! :)
