I took this course before a business trip to Mexico City and it was exactly what I needed. The instructors packed so much useful content into just two days. I was able to navigate taxis, restaurants, and basic meetings with much more confidence than I expected. The pocket phrasebook they provide was a lifesaver!

★★★★☆ January 2024

A very intense but effective weekend! The focus on practical phrases rather than complex grammar rules was perfect for my needs as a traveler. I would have liked a bit more time for practice, but understand the time constraints. The online follow-up resources have been helpful for continuing my learning.

I took the course in Puerto Vallarta before traveling around Mexico for a month. It was definitely worth the investment! While I'm not fluent by any means, I gained enough Spanish to get around comfortably and have basic conversations with locals. The cultural tips were especially valuable and helped me avoid some common faux pas.
