WEEKEND en español

I’ve been taking classes here with Ronda for some months now and my confidence in speaking Spanish has really grown in that time. Ronda is a good and experienced teacher and has been able to explain certain grammatical concepts in a way that is easy for English speakers to understand. Classes are organic and interesting. Ronda doesn’t drill you but encourages you to speak and think about a wide range of topics Spanish. I look forward to improving my Spanish further.

Great!
Have tried other schools and programs, but never got too far until I took classes here. Ronda is an excellent teacher.
I’ve also gone to Oaxaca, MX for her immersion weeks — absolutely wonderful! Actually, I was so pleased that I went for an additional 2 weeks.
If you want to learn Spanish — this is the place!

I let my Spanish get wayyyy too rusty. It’s always been a goal of mine to get as close to fluency in Spanish as possible and I figured it was time to put my money where my mouth is!
I signed up about a month ago and hope to never stop taking classes!
Ricardo is an awesome teacher, really funny. I love that the class is conversation-​based because I feel like that’s the hardest part to get. I feel like the program also understands that most students are working adults so the workload isn’t intense (but I’m sure it could be if you wanted to fast track!).
All in all, why are you waiting? Sign up today!

I have been wanting to learn Spanish for years. I tried Rosetta Stone and it just did not work for me, I have zero discipline. I get totally engaged in my classes and they go by so quick I am always surprised when it is time to go. Ronda is a wonderful teacher, so really knows how to teach. I looked into many other classes and found Weekend en Espanol offered more types of classes and reasonable prices. I am really hoping to do a full immersion weekend and am so glad they offer it. i have only been going for a few weeks but I can already grasp the basics, and of course count to 100; 0). I look forward to my Wednesday class and enjoy learning with Ronda, she is also a super cool person.
For anyone looking to pick up where you left off after college to a total beginner I would recommend Ronda at Weekend en espanol, you will not be disappointed.

I had an amazing experience with Ronda in the 2 day weekend Medical Spanish workshop. The class was small and intimate, making it feel more like a private lesson than a workshop and Ronda has some really great teaching techniques. She is flexible and listens to what you need as a learner. I had a pretty decent understanding of Spanish grammar and have been using it in the workplace for years, however she managed to break me of some long time errors and cleared up confusion about hard to grasp concepts. I quadrupled my medical vocabulary and the binder she provided us is full of useful words, phrases, and realistic scenarios pertinent to the medical field. Bonus points for feeding us yummy lunch everyday!

I have had an incredible experience with Ronda and Weekend en Espanol. I was new to Spanish just 10 weeks ago. I have been taking the Wednesday night classes, 1.5 hours each session. After ten weeks I am already speaking at a higher level than other people who took a few years of Spanish in high school /​college.
The speaking and immersion-​based learning program makes me learn at an incredibly rapid pace. As an added bonus, it is much more fun than reading a textbook or studying flash cards.
I was very timid when I began, but the friendly staff (and other students I have had in class from time to time) have made it a very welcoming experience.
If you are thinking about getting back into Spanish, or need to learn the language for a trip /​vacation, this is the way to do it. You will learn über-​fast!

Rhonda is an excellent teacher who tailors each class to the needs of the students. She teaches the nuances of the language and has tips and explanations that really help things stick. As an intermediate/​advanced learner she has really helped me understand the structure and use of the subjunctive, and there’s lots of conversation so you can practice, practice, practice. It not just the teacher, but the classmates who make an experience great. I’ve met many interesting and engaged students and look forward to my class each week.

Have sent my kids here to learn Spanish, it’s not cheap. If you buy 15 lessons, it’s still going to run $ 50/​hr for weekly, individual lessons. One advantage is they offer lessons on weekends. I don’t know if the instructors are certified or not. Not certain if the lessons really helped. One kid said ‘yes’ the other says it was 80% helpful. A couple of times the instructor got the time/​date mixed up and another time the owner, Rhonda, who was scheduled to teach, arrived late, after we left. They have different instructors, some who are native Spanish-​speakers. Some instructors are better than others & will give you additional worksheets (provided that your kid will do them) and others will just try to teach out of the Spanish text your child’s school uses, which is like reviewing the book. They do offer medical-​Spanish classes and group trips to Mexico. The lessons used to be taught inside the house up the street, but Rhonda purchased the store front on the corner and there’s more space now. I heard about this place from a co-​worker a few yrs ago because she was taking lessons here & liked it. We’ve had mixed experiences here with the kids’ lessons.
