GBI 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!

GBPlatica-Spanish Conversation Partners The people who I conversed with were extremely polite and made me feel really comfortable speaking to them. They never made me feel nervous. It got easier each time.

GBOverall 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.
