GBExcellent instructors, well-rounded study plans Interesting, varied, and sufficiently explanatory lessons from Beginner to Advanced. The teachers are articulate, friendly, and mostly quite brilliant, honestly. Engaging multi-media self-study lessons are available. Also lessons on vocab, conjugations, and other concepts which I haven't even gotten to you. Only thing I'd really love to see done differently for now is the focus on a particular concept more intensively, for a longer period of time. (i.e., "por" vs. "para" classes done for a week, instead of a lesson at a time then moving on to something else.) This would increase the value exponentially -- although it's been invaluable already in increasing my Spanish fluency.

GBStart Spanish I have been involved in Start Spanish for 6 months now and found it exceptional. The teachers are great and very easy to work with. There are always classes available for whatever level you need. My Spanish has improved greatly since starting this course. My only suggestion for improvement would be the option for the students to see each other. I am more than happy with this site and program.

GBThey are wonderful. This is a great program. The only downside is that in the group classes, sometimes there are students who try to dominate the conversation and do not allow equal time to others. In general, the professors do their best to stop this from happening, but not always. It may help if there is some kind of general announcement or slide at the beginning of each class reminding students to be mindful that they do not monopolize the conversation.

GBThis is the best way to learn Spanish-- I love StartSpanish I have tried numerous classes on line and in person, StartSpanish is far the best course I have taken--ever. I am super impressed with the teaching staff. They are very knowledgeable, friendly and very patient. Each one remembers me and my skill level and common errors and makes great suggestion on how to improve. I also love the fact that there are so many times to log on and learn. The class sizes are great, the optional homework assignments are fun and challenging. Their IT Team also knows what they are doing if there is ever a problem getting on. I love StartSpanish.

GBGreat online Spanish classroom experience. I've been taking classes at StartSpanish.com for over 2 years. I really like the format of the classes because they give me many opportunities to speak and practice my new language. I've progressed a lot, and while I don't always have much time to sit and study, this interactive format is fun and very effective at improving your abilities. I highly recommend this school as a resouce for people who have used audio courses like Pimsleur, Learning Spanish Like Crazy or Rocket Spanish to immediately start applying their speaking abilities. I have been sitting in classes with people for the last year who I've watched make a lot of progress in their speaking abilities and pronunciation. My only complaint is selfish in that if too many of you sign up, I might not get much class time. Ah that's right, I have some included private lessons I need to use.
