It was a good beginning course. Towards the end i would have liked to see both questions and answers in both languages.

I didn't enjoy this. I went through just a bit but even as a beginner I could tell that the pronunciation this course teaches is very far from correct. The pace is also super slow - might be good for others but too slow for me.

I have a much better understanding of the tenses and how to conjugate verbs, which has always been a challenge for me.

Took Spanish my first year of college (many yrs ago) and thankfully I remembered some things.

Perfecto!

Good beginning Spanish class. Covered many topics in an easy to understand manner. I understand that it takes a lot to put these classes together but it seemed they ran out of steam a bit at the end as about the last third had a streamlined format. No more animation, .PDF downloads etc. The last 3 sections didn't have quizzes like all the previous sections and the section covering months needs to be heavily edited or completely redone. There was no wrap up, the class just ended somewhat abruptly. This is intended as constructive criticism, I would recommend this class to beginning Spanish students as the overall content was good and easy to understand.

All and all I feel that the course is well structured and well explained. I can say that now I understand the basic rules of Spanish and it will help me when I move on to the next level classes. Although, I'm VERY disappointed that I didn't get a response to the direct messages I sent to both of the instructors, nor an answer on the Q&A section of the course, and that's just NOT OK! Also, towards the end of the course you stopped uploading PDF files with the summaries (reviews), like you uploaded in the beginning, which are very helpful, and it's a shame because it took me much longer to practice the lessons that didn't have those reviews. And- the tiny cards app has the vocabulary up until colors. What about practicing the rest of the words you teach afterwards??! Without these minuses I would have given the course a 5 star rating....:( too bad.
