For teens with some school Spanish under their belt who want real conversational practice instead of more grammar drills. Class discussions cover music, movies, and current events entirely in Spanish. Confidence, not perfection, is the goal.

Honestly didn't expect this much enthusiasm from her. She came home with five real sentences used at dinner and she wouldn't stop talking about it. Getting across Coldwater Canyon at rush hour is the real challenge here, not the class.
Best class we've found in the Valley, hands down. She came home with a handful of real Spanish phrases used constantly now and she wouldn't stop talking about it. Parking on Ventura Blvd gets tight after 3pm but there's a lot behind the building.
We tried two other places in the Valley before this one and nothing compares. She came home with a handful of real French words used at dinner and she wouldn't stop talking about it. Parking in the Commons lot in Calabasas is a hike from the studio but it's fine.
We've been coming since last fall and the difference in confidence is obvious. He came home with five real sentences used at dinner and he wouldn't stop talking about it. Worth every credit.
Marcus has been counting down to Thursday every single week. He came home with five real sentences used at dinner and he wouldn't stop talking about it. The strip mall lot on Victory is always packed but we make it work.
We've been coming since a couple sessions ago and the difference in confidence is obvious. He came home with a handful of real Spanish phrases used constantly now and he wouldn't stop talking about it. Señora Valdez is wonderful with his whole group.
Honestly didn't expect this much enthusiasm from him. He came home with a handful of real Spanish phrases used constantly now and he wouldn't stop talking about it. We carpool with another family from the same school which makes the weekday pickup so much easier. Already signed up for the next session.
It's a solid class, though not without a few bumps. It can run a little disorganized when the group is at very different skill levels. He did come home with a French song sung in the car now, so it's not all bad.
