★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Saul did an amazing job. I learned more in 4 days then in 5 weeks with babbel or duolingo. Save yourself the time with those apps and just go to LA CALLE, really. It's a lot of fun and you can see daily progress!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I could have spent an entire year here. The emphasis here is on conversation - and even at my class level (A2/B1) we did that throughout our classes. The teachers act as facilitators, making needed corrections/suggestions as you practice.
Truly interesting and relevant topics are given for discussion such as "what are the recognizable cliches of your country - and how do you feel about them". Trust me - when you attempt to answer questions like that in Spanish - you learn A LOT. And it's meaningful and useful vocabulary.
So far I have studied with Agustin, Miguel and Saul. All are thoughtful and patient and, unlike many other schools/teachers, are interested in what the student has to say - not just grammatically - but more importantly - intellectually.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I highly recommend Calle online classes. It is extremely easy to access and to communicate with the school and teachers. They are very flexible and will accommodate to your schedule. Alejandra was an especially patient and suppportive teacher. Don't hesitate! It's a great learning and fun experience!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I did classes for 2 weeks - the teachers at La Calle are excellent, thoughtful, very knowledgeable, and you can learn a depth of spanish here. Raul is a good teacher, and I'd happily take more classes if I stayed longer. The homestay I did through La Calle was also great - a very kind host in a home that had everything needed.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The relaxed inclusive atmosphere at the LA Calle school is immediately apparent when you walk in their door.
The greeting of Buenos dias from all nationalities and ages you encounter, instantly lowers the intimidation level when starting a new language there. The schools method of teaching is to learn through speaking. Questions and answers. Listening and repeating. Learning while practicing pronunciation. It's a very effective method.
My teacher Profesor Raul, is both extremely patient and persistent. His constant "casi...otra forma?" Helped me get the most out of each lesson. It was very apparent that Raul cares about his students, and wants them to feel they have learned, and have had a positive experience. I really enjoyed his lessons.
I look forward to continuing my spanish education online with La Calle, until I can return to Mexico and the school again in the fall.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We had such an amazing teacher who was super fun to learn from! I feel bad, I wish I could remember his name, I think it was Saul or Luis, just not sure exactly. My girlfriend and I we’re only in Merida for 2 nights but really wanted a chance to get more immersed and do our best to not butcher the language. We are still nowhere near fluent but feel so much more comfortable attempting to converse with locals. We are still super beginners but the 3 hours we spent was worth every peso and we recommend it! It was very enjoyable. I wish we could spend more time here and if able I will certainly come back. At the least I would love to spend a month here In the intensive program and hope to make that a reality one day. Book a lesson! You will be glad you did!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ No at all what I was expecting, the classes are basically what you learn on duo lingo. I was hoping for some simple conversational Spanish to help communication whilst traveling, but instead you are learning "what is your job, how old are you" great if you have 6 weeks to spend learning in depth Spanish, but as a traveller just hoping to learn some useful basics I found this course a bit of a waste of time and money.
It would be much better if the school spoke you you about what kind of Spanish you need\ want to learn
Also one of the guys who worked there (I think he was called Miguel) was super condescending, I found the way he spoke down to you as so rude. He gave me a really bad vibe and made me very uncomfortable just being around him.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Overall, I really enjoyed my experience. Teacher was knowledgeable and everyone was very nice. The one week of classes lacked structure and the level was too difficult for me and the three other students. It’s hard to have conversations with other students without the foundations of grammar and conjugation. So our conversations were quite short and slow. It would have been better if they matched us at our level, filled in the knowledge gaps, and had us do easier exercises to reinforce this new concept one at a time. I’m very passionate about the learning experience generally so I can be critical at times. I took what I could from my week there which was very positive. However, I am confident we all could have gained more with some structure that built upon where we were at vs. jumping levels and trying to do many things at once… before we became fluent at one or two of the things.
