USMy experience with Platica was… My experience with Platica was fantastic! I met two really amazing women who taught me a lot about their culture and personal experiences and our conversations together helped improve my Spanish. Speaking with native speakers is a really valuable experience, and I'm so glad I got this opportunity to practice and learn more about Guatemala.

USGreat! 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.

USGreat Spanish Tool Platica is a great tool that significantly helped me improve my Spanish speaking skills. I was able to have conversations with a native Spanish speaker, wherein the discussions we would talk about pre-selected topics, and after that, we would take about whatever came to our minds. Overall, I would recommend this to other people for the idea that one can go out of their comfort zone to hone their Spanish skills in a friendly environment.

USOverall a great experience Overall a great experience. I’ve never done anything like this before so it was new for me. It was fairly simple to set up and is easy to catch on to. At first I was confused as to when and how often I needed to do it. The constant emails to schedule your appointment though are helpful despite being somewhat annoying. In the long run though, everything moved pretty smoothly except for the occasional technical difficulty or me forgetting about the appointment accidentally. I would recommend to people if they are trying to improve their conversational Spanish speaking skills for sure.
