What students are saying about
Learn Spanish Fast hoy!
"I just want to let you know how appreciative I am of all the work you have put into our LSF Beg 1 online class. Honestly, it’s really impressive. I was concerned about taking the class via zoom, thinking it couldn’t possibly be as good as the ‘in person’ classes that I’ve taken with you, but I was wrong. You have put HOURS and HOURS into making this class outstanding, which I know (former teacher myself) has been very challenging in the past year. "

"Thank you again Profe Linda! You have helped me so much in my Spanish journey. I will be sure to follow the TPRS subscription on your website to continue reading Spanish books. I am very excited to live in Quito, Ecuador this upcoming year to continue my Spanish. Following this I hope to serve in the Peace Corps in Latin America and pursue a foreign service career in climate change policy. All of these aspirations would not be possible without your support! Estoy agradecido."

"This course far exceeded my expectations. Previously, I had boring grammar textbook Spanish classes, and I didn't know one could have so much fun acquiring Spanish! One of the most important things I learned is that you cannot study Spanish like you would biology, you have to acquire it through reading comprehension and telling stories. Additionally, I'm so used to having grades be the extrinsic motivator, and it was very refreshing & fun to practice Spanish without the pressure of my GPA. This new mindset of acquiring Spanish in a fun way through TPRS will propel me further in becoming bilingual. "
