Our teacher was fantastico! This was a great class. Can’t wait to do Level 2 next year. Great service that Sydney Uni puts on – highly recommendable.
The course was fantastic and I felt very comfortable participating – even when I wasn’t sure of my answers or pronunciation. Our trainer was wonderful.
The teacher provided a wide range of learning material and made the textbook fun to learn from. My understanding of the Spanish language has definitely improved since starting the course. Muchas gracias!
The course was great and the pace was right for me. The tutor made it fun as well. Looking forward to progressing to course 2!
Great introduction to Spanish. If you put in even 10 minutes a day you will begin to see results within the first two weeks. Brilliant course.
An excellent, professional, conscientious teacher who was particularly adept at harnessing teachable moments to edify and illustrate not only the elements of the language, but also cultivate and encourage curiosity and model successful learning strategies. Well done.
A fabulous and convivial tutor... who made Spanish very easy to comprehend and mixed humour with expert knowledge. I enjoyed the course greatly and have enrolled in the next level.
I really enjoyed this intro to Spanish 101. The tutor is very good and runs an interactive class.
A friendly environment was created for all learners and plenty of encouragement and guidance was given to achieve a sense of achievement and progress as I went through the course. I have already booked in for the next course in the series.
My tutor was amazing. She has a fantastic attitude and teaching style. Hold on to that one!
Great teacher and good materials provided. Will definitely sign up for Spanish 102! :)
