Español de Salón: Seville

I took the online Spanish courses with Violeta, and I highly recommend them! I minored in Spanish and used to live in the Seville area, but I have been back in the US for many years. My personal level was highly proficient, and I was using Spanish at my place of work. I was looking for a way to brush up and enhance my Spanish and to cater specifically to using Spanish within a business setting, and I came across Español de Salón classes. I was privileged to take classes with Violeta, who is one of the best Spanish teachers I have ever had! She prepared structured lessons that pushed my level and helped me with all components of written, verbal, listening, and reading comprehension that were catered to use within work. I am so thankful for her help and expert guidance, and I highly recommend classes with her!

I have done several Spanish courses in different Spanish cities and I can say that the experience with Español de Salón was exceptional!! I say exceptional because it was very different from the other courses I had taken. The classes were super fun and I learned a lot, because everything they taught me was integrated in a unique and brilliant way into the activities in which I participated, always adapting to my needs. I must emphasize that never before have I had such a close and authentic experience of knowing a people as I met the Andalusian people through the cultural experiences that they gave me, I felt like a local person. It was, altogether, a very personalized and unforgettable experience! And all this thanks to the good organization and the passion with which Violeta and Pablo do their work. Thank you!

The teachers were great and made the classes super entertaining. I was able to use the Spanish I learned from class when we did the cultural experiences, I even understood things related to what we learned like when I ordered food/drinks at restaurants and going to the "mercado" to get ingredients for the paella. The activities were one of a kind! The teachers really knew what they were doing and how to show us the "real" Sevilla; the guided tours were not only informative but funny as well, I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard! Everything went smoothly and I don't have one complaint (except for gaining weight from all the delicious food I ate!). I will definitely repeat when I'm back in Andalucía.
