Spanish Learning Network

Experiencia fantástica: Wows upon wows! I have been taking classes since this past September, & I am truly amazed by how much my previously nonexistent Spanish has improved over time. I have always been treated with the utmost respect & love my time in class with mainly Gabriela. Highly recommended Spanish learning for all levels! Absolutely amazing!

Experiencia fantástica: Spanish Learning Network has helped my Spanish-speaking abilities take great strides forward. I came to SLN with a foundational speaking from my school days where progress happened at a glacial pace and it often felt like I wasn't learning the same language as native speakers. SLN classes has both native and non-native Spanish speaking instructors who bring unique perspectives and different teaching techniques. I very quickly appreciated the fact that SLN classes have you converse on a wide variety of topics and not the same narrow options that get covered to death in school. I have a new confidence and love for speaking Spanish thanks to SLN!

Experiencia fantástica: ❤️Bex and her passion for learning and culture!

Experiencia negativa: I wish I could say I shared the same experience as these 5-star reviewers, but sadly that wasn't the case for me. I enjoyed meeting with Bex via Zoom for the free assessment and immediately signed on in December. I got the subscription for 6 classes/month. However, I was unable to book classes until late January because I had just started a new job and needed to figure out my schedule. Last week, I finally booked a virtual Level 1 class per their recommendation. I showed up on time and participated as best as I could. I was flustered and a bit overwhelmed, but I remained positive initially. I felt like the professor did not treat me as kindly as she did with the other students, i.e., sending translations in the Zoom chat or being patient with me when called on to participate. I was so nervous, and she made me feel incompetent. After the class ended, I reached out for help using the chat feature on their website and received dismissive responses. I explained that I was overwhelmed and asked for tips on how to best prepare for the next class. All they said was that it would get easier over time. Then earlier this afternoon, I asked the chat for assistance with their mobile app which, according to their website, is required in order to be put on a waitlist for a class that is currently at full capacity. No response. 4 hours later, I sent a request to cancel my subscription, and they were quick to do so. My subscription was cancelled just a few minutes later. I feel incredibly discouraged after this experience. I was truly looking forward to this learning program as a nurse who serves a large population of Spanish-speaking patients. I want to learn Spanish so I can enhance the nurse-patient experience in which sensitive information must be shared. I was hoping to break that language barrier to make patients feel comfortable talking to a stranger about their health problems. I did not receive any guidance or support in the short time I had at this school, and that really sucks. In fact, it felt like they were annoyed by me from the start, and I'm not sure why. I need to look for a new school now :(

Experiencia fantástica: Bex is an incredible teacher and human. I loved my experience and would definitely recommend to anyone that really wants to learn Spanish.
