My 11-year-old son has been taking Spanish lessons at Kasa De Franko over these last few months, and I can tell that his confidence with the Spanish language is really increasing. Franko makes the lessons enjoyable through lessons that keep kids engaged, like learning through songs. Throughout the day, I sometimes hear my son reciting the songs he's learned. Franko's method of teaching and his way of breaking things down makes it easy for my son to grasp certain grammatical concepts that he wouldn't have otherwise grasped. Thank you, Kasa de Franko, for everything! read more

My daughter learnt Spanish here for the last 7 weeks and she loves it so much that she wants to continue learning. We are going to continue her lessons. She is now able to talk to beyond the basic with some people we know who speak Spanish. I feel so proud of her. I would highly recommend these classes to anyone who wants to learn Spanish from the comfort of their homes. Thank you Mr Kasa. read more

Franko from Kasa de Franko makes learning Spanish fun. He leverages various methods including singing songs, learning Spanish through fairy tales and other clever methods to help students really understand the language. I took several years of Spanish when I was a young girl in middle school, but I never really learned to pronounce words properly or to fully understand all of the grammatical aspects. Franko has taught me to focus on my pronunciation. I've been taking Spanish classes from Franko for the past two years, and still look forward to going to class. I am continuing to improve and I'm confident that I will reach my goal to becoming fluent in Spanish. If you want to learn Spanish, Kasa de Franko is the place that you want to go to sign up!

I couldn't be happier with Kasa de Franko. I love how enthusiastic and dedicated Franko and his staff are -- they clearly love what they do. I've been studying with them for over a year and still have a long way to go, but I've become so much more confident, especially in my speaking skills (muchas gracias Juan!). The learning is fun and practical and there's a lot of cultural lessons in there as well, which I really appreciate. I highly recommend. read more

I really enjoyed my time working with Kasa de Franko. Every lesson felt beneficial. Additionally Juan, whom I worked with, went out of his way to meet my unique needs and practice conversations he knew would be most useful for me. read more

I've been learning Spanish with Franko for almost two years. I love our lessons - they're always interactive, full of speaking practice and - what is very important to me - it's always tons of fun! I'm pretty bad in languages, but with Franko I was able to start speaking just in a few months! Thank you Franko! It's been a great journey! read more

I highly recommend Kasa de Franko! My 9 year old daughter has been attending their online zoom classes for the past few months and she loves it! She is learning so much and feeling much more confident in her speaking skills. Its is challenging but yet fun and interactive with some limited home work assignments which helps with the learning. They have great communication through emails and text and very professional as well. read more

This is a great Spanish learning program. My daughter has been making great progress in Spanish from zero knowledge. We will continue to learn Spanish with Franko. He is a great teacher, very nice to all students and teach them with all his passion! Great Teacher and great Spanish Class!l read more

Kasa De Franko - Fun Spanish School - This is a great Spanish learning program. My daughter has been making great progress in Spanish from zero - Private Tutors Near Me - San Mateo, California

OMG! This Spanish school deserves not 5 but 10 stars. Franko is very knowledgeable and knows how to teach his native language and share his culture with his students and friends. Spanish is very useful in CA and Franko makes it fun to learn. I have been taking Spanish lessons at Kas De Franko for over a year. I started when I only knew "hola" and "gracias". Since l came to CA people would just talk to me in Spanish. I'm Indian that means I'm also brown and people would assume I speak Spanish. People would ask me que hora es? Donde esta la biblioteca? I would just stare at them not knowing what to say. Then I decided to try learning. It has been a great journey since I started. Not only because I feel more confident in my Spanish skills and I know what to answer, but also because I made new friends at Spanish class.Spanish has also helped during my recent travel to Costa Rica, to speak with the locals.It has been a great experience and would highly recommend to take classes at kasa de franko. read more

5-star instructor! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for Spanish learners at all levels. I have been taking Spanish (5 levels so far from beginner to intermediate) with Franko for almost a year now. I truly enjoyed this fun and rewarding experience. A couple of unique things that I want to call out: - Practice Opportunities: Franko's teaching style is heavily conversation-based, which means you get to practice A TON! There are also frequent meetups for students to practice (and eat delicious food) even outside of the class. - Immersive learning: ~95% of the class is in Spanish. This is very similar to the way infants learn a language. You ultimately develop the habit to think in Spanish. - Linguistic Expertise: Franko speaks 6 languages and has 10+ years of rich teaching experience. He knows exactly why you make mistakes in certain way and always guide you through them very effectively. He intentionally uses accent-neutral pronunciations, so you can adjust to different Spanish accents easily in the long run. - Culture-focused: You'll learn beyond just a language. You'll also learn about the Spanish and Latin American cultures. - Fun: Franko's great personality and sense of humor always make the classroom full of laughter. :) read more

I really recommend to anybody want to start Spanish class from zero foundation or either you already have foundation. Franko is the best teacher for me. He knows exactly what you need, what are you stuck with. He knows the trick to explain all the grammar, vocabulary, and especially conversation. I would give him 10 if I could. read more

Franko is a unique language professor. He teaches you how to think and communicate in Spanish. His teaching style is more practical than theory. You can finish his class and go speak in the market, restaurant or at work. I highly recommending Franko if you want to learn Spanish quickly and in a fun way! read more

Highly recommend this program. Frank is great with my kids, I love listening in here and there on their lessons and on how they have improved. Their team is incredibly accommodating with scheduling the zoom classes. I had to reschedule so many times with the zoom lessons throughout the summer and they have been so helpful, kind and very professional. Just wanted to express my gratitude! read more

Very good class. Interaction and interesting. Definitely recommend the class. My kids enjoy the classes.

I and my husband have been taking semi-private classes for almost a year and we really enjoy the lessons! Prof. Franko keeps a good balance between conversation and grammar during the class and homework and review of the previous lesson help us to improve our Spanish. Also, his class covers culture and history of Latin America and I really enjoy it. I recommend semi-private lessons if you have family or friend to take the class with. You can reschedule or skip the lesson as needed and you will have a lot of chance to speak Spanish during the class! read more

I started learning Spanish on my own using Duolinguo, grammar books, and Youtube videos. However, I lacked vocabulary and conversational practice. This is where KDF comes in: the classes are structured in a way that the students are forced to interact in Spanish among themselves and with the professor. I have been able to improve my listening comprehension as well as speaking skills significantly thanks to Franko. Whether you're just beginning to learn the language or are pretty advanced and looking for additional instruction, KDF is the place to go. read more

My 6 year old is doing virtual Spanish classes with Kasa De Frank. I highly recommend it. Her teacher goes above and beyond to make it fun and engaging. He adds a lot of variety a huge amount of energy and plenty of songs to keep her learning and having fun! read more

I took two Spanish classes with Franko, and had a vibrant and exciting learning experience. His classes were never boring, and I always looked forward to attending the next sessions, even though my classes were right after work and I was super tired! Strongly recommend it to you. One warning though! Do not skip your homework, because you would lose track of the class and cannot keep up with your class conversations. read more

This is my very first Spanish learning class and I must admit that Franko made it so fun to do so. He is also very caring for his student and really after for them to learn (not just the money). I have great examples about Franko's sincerity about teaching more than the money: (1) We did not achieve the minimum number of students but he still proceed in conducting the class (meaning he did not cancel it), (2) he was so flexible to move the class schedule based on student's unforeseen circumstances, like he allowed us to move the class to Tuesday since I already had a pre-planned vacation (but of course my fellow students agreed as well, good thing she is very nice too), and (3) I completely forgot the class schedule and was late for 1 hour, yes 1 HOUR. He called me and he (and my very nice classmate) waited for me, did not start the class until I came and still conducted it for 2 hours. Aside from these, he made sure that we understood and able to conversely use in the class what we learned. That for me, show his dedication, patience and passion in teaching. I will definitely continue to attend his class and recommend him in a heartbeat to someone who wants to learn Spanish. read more

I have met Franko for more than a year now and I have enjoyed his teaching method. I like it that he is very knowledgeable and approachable. He speaks six languages which makes it easier for him to understand what students go through when learning a new language. I could not speak a word in Spanish before. By using repetition and mimic, he had me learning a few phrases from the very beginning. The first day of level 1, I knew how to greet and say my name, my origin, my job, my nationality, etc. I was so excited. After using and understanding phrases in context, it is much easier to understand Spanish grammar. He also offers his students a number of resources they can use during the process of learning Spanish. His YouTube videos are very useful to understand in advance what he will discuss in class. His articles and blog are hilarious and a great way to teach how to avoid mistakes during the process of learning Spanish. Also, he organizes Meetups on a weekly basis which allows students to practice outside class. His school is in a very nice residential area. At first, I wasn't sure to go since I knew it was in a house. Then I decided to go to some of his Spanish meetups and I loved his style. Parking has not been a problem since there is always plenty of space. His place is on top of a communications hill so I sometimes just go for a walk around the neighborhood to enjoy a nice view of the city of San Jose. If you don't want to pay for a whole group class or you can't commit to go every week come to KDF's meetups he's super flexible and you get a taste of his teaching style over a beer or two and then you can decide if you want to take lessons with him. read more

I am now taking my second level class, after completing the first level several weeks ago. Franko teaches in an immersive style. My ability to understand conversational Spanish is progressing very rapidly, while at the same time I am learning to express myself verbally and in writing. We spend much of our class time in conversational groups of 2 or 3. Franko also leads free meet-ups where we can practice our new skills with his other students in a very comfortable atmosphere. Each week, for homework, we prepare questions and answers based on what we have learned so that we can quickly kick off our conversations in class. Franko is a caring and engaging instructor that teaches with a sense of humor. I am very happy with my choice to study at Kasa de Franko! read more

When I took my first class with Franko, I didn't know what to expect, and certainly didn't know if I'd continue. He's got a unique style that's friendly and easy to follow. His method is the most natural way to learn a language as you practice, practice and practice in classes. That's the most immersive experience one can get outside of a Spanish speaking country. I have enjoyed his classes thoroughly and there's never a dull moment in his class. If you are considering learning Spanish for the first time or want to brush up your skills, he's definitely the person you want to learn from! read more

It's been an awesome 1.5 years journey. It's fun, easy, interesting, engaging and deeply cultural experience to learn Spanish with Franko! He's the reason we're still learning this beautiful language. And what I like the most is all those cultural details and habits Franko highlights during the lessons making them much more valuable. It's crucial to understand various meanings of the words in different countries and Franko keeps making notes on that every single time. Thank you amigo! read more

I know franko since couple years, he is one of the best instructors I've ever had to learn Spanish. He has an awesome grip on the language, and a talent to take his skills to the next level of teaching to reach the students in a whole different level. You never feel you are learning just a language, it is more like you start feeling like a culture, a tradition, etc . His courseworks are straight to the point and a good follow ups on every assignments. I would highly recommend franko anytime if you have any plans to learn Spanish culture and a language. Good luck !! read more

Franko is an amazing Spanish teacher. I highly recommend him if you want to get the best individualized, tailored, structured Spanish lessons! read more
