They would listen to the way you pronounce words, they would look at your lips and tongue position (which might be funny in the beginning) and they would correct the sounds you make. So I eventually took the full course and I can't be happier. I could hear improvements every day after the class and I gained more confidence when speaking. Thank you!!

We talked during the first lesson about what my specific goals are, and Ms. Claudia has tailored our lessons to give me exactly what I was looking for - and what I was missing in studying on my own. She is very clear and flexible when explaining topics that can be difficult and that has been extremely helpful for me. When I get stuck and can't quite understand a tricky concept, she finds different ways to explain it until I get it. And when there's something I'm interested in learning about that's off-topic, she's super flexible about changing course to include it. She's been phenomenal! I strongly recommend her and the Spanish Academy to anyone who's serious about improving their Spanish at any level.

Many accent coaches do that, and I feel it's a lie because I didn't feel like I succeeded. Prof. Alex DOES NOT pretend that I did well. If I have pronunciation mistakes, he will always stop me, explain in detail why I made the mistake, and then he will pronounce it for me so I can hear the difference, showing me how I sounded and how I should sound. Trust me, this is such an EXCITING process of transformation. I feel like I'm moving fast because I have Prof. Alex! Then, he will show me in a 2D model what I should do with my mouth to CHANGE! To me personally, this is priceless. Prof. Alex has a talent for not being afraid to communicate and present mistakes in the most comfortable way for me. I feel well-trained all the time I am in session and feel like I've REALLY learned a lot to start speaking English fluently! He is the best at teaching the American accent and American flow. I am starting to speak English fluently! I got it what I need for the fluency and it is not GRAMMAR or VOCABULARY as I thought! Trust him, and you will succeed in speaking English fluently! Alex, you are the hero! Thank you so much!

We had such a great experience with Miss Glady, Nelly and Erika in his first classroom. He has now transitioned to the one of the older classrooms and we absolutely love Miss Julie. Each morning he has a smile on his face when we talk about going to school and seeing all his friends and Miss Julie. It has been amazing seeing his language skills develop at Didactica and understanding so much Spanish before the age of 2! We now have our 5 month old baby girl enrolled as well and she has been with Miss Yisel since she was just 2 months old. We know she is safe, happy and loved in the classroom and is always welcomed with a smile!
