Fantastic classes! Learning Spanish with Clara was fun, challenging and great value. I became more confident in my... speaking ability and was able to go from knowing virtually no Spanish to holding and understanding basic conversations in the first couple of months. From fundamentals in grammar to conversational and colloquial nuances, the classes were varied, intimate and a joy to be in.read more
