The course is comprehensive. The 45 minute sessions with a teacher are excellent with each daily session having a combination of new vocabulary and some grammar review. The professors are superb at assuring a normal flow of the class and encourage continuous dialogue. All are native speakers and also have a very good knowledge of English when the Spanish explanation is not understood. Their use of English is always as minimal as possible. The course also includes a variety of written exercises that provide instant feedback about errors. There are periodic examinations to test ones progress. There are exercises in writing that follow each live (via Adobe Connects) session and these are corrected and sent back to the student. I doubt that there are any other Spanish courses that are of such high caliber.

I decided to try Spanish again after a year of high school Spanish many years ago. For me, StartSpanish was really successful! The opportunity to speak Spanish every day, live, with an instructor, has made it possible for me to actually be able to carry on a conversation in another language. While I often have a lesson with just myself and the instructor, on other occasions there are students from all over the world--Jamaica, Italy, Norway, Japan--as well as students from the United States. After a year with StartSpanish, I enrolled at the local college in an advanced Spanish class and got an A in the course! All the instructors that I have worked with in StartSpanish are fully-qualified with advanced degrees from University of Cordoba, Argentina. I can take a class at my convenience, anytime from early in the morning to 7 p.m. I love the live format with some structured reading/listening/speaking. Usually the class includes a grammar point that is easily learned in the 45-minute class. And there is an accompanying optional writing exercise. After both the live class and the writing exercise, I receive a personal review and critique. In addition to the live classes, there are many other features of the program, including a blog, grammar and dictionary aids, illustrated lessons which include reading/writing/listening/speaking. And I have used their private classes to clarify questions. It's a fabulous program, and I would recumbend it to anyone who is serious about learning Spanish.

StartSpanish was awesome for me. I live in an area where talking to native speakers is not very easy to do. StartSpanish is a great way to get daily speaking practice and is really economical compared to traditional Skype style lessons. I learned a ton of spanish and enjoyed the interaction with both the teachers and the students.

Excellent place to practice Spanish! The tutors are very nice!

I´m very surprised to find an online class so catchy and useful. I was kinf of exceptical but I found out that it is worth to take the course and I fell pretty good about my Spanish now.
