I can read spanish and write spanish, but before taking this class i was not comfortable speaking spanish and it was difficult to talk. After 5 weeks of class, i am much more comfortable and i have built more skills around the language. I think my success is because the class were so small, speaking spanish was encourage through out the class, and our instructor spoke to us in spanish through out the whole class. I really enjoyed it.

The classes are structured to enforce language skills but reading is not neglected. The classes are small which means every student gets practice speaking the language they are learning with the teacher and one another. The price is affordable with either 5 week or 10 week semesters. You will learn plenty even in 5 weeks because the teachers are fantastic. I definitely recommend Rennert.

took Coucou's online placement test and was placed into an intermediate-level class. Unfortunately,…read morethe placement was not accurate. There was no real evaluation, just an online quiz, and when I arrived in the class, I quickly realized after a few sessions that it didn't match my needs at all. The class was pure conversation with no grammar explanations, no structure, and no rules, which made me feel completely lost. I actually needed more grammar-focused support, not just conversation. When I tried to switch levels, I wasn't offered a proper solution. Instead, I was only given about 70% credit for my remaining classes, with a two-month expiration. I couldn't use it because I was traveling, and their response time was slow, so the credit essentially became useless. Overall, I was disappointed with how the placement was handled and how inflexible the school was in helping me find the right level. I expected a more supportive and structured experience.

Juan Carlos makes it fun and low-stress to learn Spanish, while maintaining just enough strictness and structure that you don't get too casual about learning. He's flexible with class schedules, and the classes are very reasonably priced for the amount of personal attention you get. He's also just a cool, interesting guy! I'm pretty sure I will be continuing to take classes with him for as long as I remain in NYC. Thanks, Juan Carlos :)

I took an advanced intermediate 10-week French course with JP, and it was a great learning opportunity. Whenever I learn a new language, my biggest fear is to actually speak the language because I am afraid that my counterpart wouldn't understand me, and if he/she doesn't, I wouldn't know how else to explain my ideas without speaking English. Not only is JP very approachable and friendly, but JP is also a very professionally qualified instructor (as he also teaches some French classes at NYU) and can immediately detect what you are trying to say and offers you with better ways (i.e. how natives would say) to express your ideas. JP sincerely wants to get to know everyone as much as he can and follows up with you so that he can be of help if you intend to continue to improve your language skills. My job requires lots of hours in winter, so I couldn't register for classes, but I will definitely be looking in spring if I could fit a class in my schedule.

I signed up for an in-person beginners Spanish class at the Manhattan location. It was a little…read morepricey in my opinion (plus you have to buy a separate book for the class from the store that is around $30), but I was so eager to grow in my skills I decided to sign up. I am someone who has a good base of Spanish under my belt, but for a beginners class this was very difficult. It felt very freeform/loose and I didn't feel we focused on grammar enough to speak in sentences (though we were expected to aloud in class). If you are someone who prefers structure, this is not the class for you. I attended every week until the last two courses because I felt I was not gaining anything, plus two of our classes got rescheduled due to the teacher's illness (not their fault, but I would've rathered a substitute as many of us travelled from BK for the class...) and we never received information about when they would be made up? I sort of feel like it was a waste for me The teacher was super nice and obviously very knowledgeable, but I think this class will not be a good fit for you unless it's just for a hobby or trying to memorize phrases for a vacation. It felt way too informal. If you are seriously trying to learn Spanish, I would not recommend and suggest you take your money elsewhere, though I cannot speak for my classmates or other language courses at this place

Eduardo was a fun and engaging Spanish instructor. Classes were well structured, but didn't feel overly rigid. I felt engaged the whole time. I went into this with intermediate skills in French, which definitely helped. The course is quite fast paced and covers a lot of ground. If you have no experience with a second language you'll definitely need to study harder to keep up. I used Duolingo for a month before the class and it definitely helped get me started with at least some knowledge. I wish there was a little more time for conversation and interaction between students, but I don't see how they could do it unless the class met twice a week. Overall I liked the format of the class and would recommend it!
