Plática Review I have been doing Plática for the past three years through my school. I have found this experience to be both extremely fun and cohesive despite being in a learning environment. I love the way in which each conversation is set up: before your conversation you will receive a list of topics you may be speaking about and after your conversation you also receive an electronic copy of your corrections. This past year, I have been an AP Spanish student, and with the help of my "speaking partner" through Plática I have been able to practice my simulated conversations for the upcoming exam. I would recommend this program to any Spanish speaking student, no matter their level. I have had such a great time throughout this program and have even developed a friendship with my speaking partner.

Platica is such an amazing program… Platica is such an amazing program because it allows you to gain experience in speaking Spanish as if you were in a Spanish speaking country with the ease of the internet. After two years, I truly began to feel comfortable with my Platica partner, and I enjoyed all of our conversations. My favorite conversations happened when we veered slightly from our set conversation topics and I found myself speaking well and confidently about something I cared about. The program has helped me with my conversation skills and made me much more comfortable and confident speaking in Spanish. Next time I am actually in a Spanish speaking country or presented the opportunity to have a true conversation in Spanish, I will be grateful for all my Platica sessions. - Alaina Moskowitz

Great! I really enjoyed the conversations mostly because of the meaningful topics/discussions and feedback on where I could improve. My partner was also very friendly and down to earth.

I had so much fun! I had so much fun with these conversations! I loved being able to speak every week with Alejandra and she made my experience so great! I never felt judged or scared about saying something wrong or sounding stupid if I didn’t know how to say something. I learned a lot and would love to be able to stay in touch with her moving forward since my minor for Spanish has just ended! I think this program is so worthwhile and something I would recommend to anyone else looking to better their speaking skills and become more comfortable talking in Spanish!

I had a great experience with Platica I had a great experience with Platica! It was very helpful practicing my spanish with a native speaker, especially in a pandemic where it is not as easy to practice because of online classes. My partner was very patient with me, helped me learn alot, and overall was really great!
