My Daily Spanish Reviews 8

I love this program! From the very first moment I began speaking with my instructor, I was learning. It was like a switch in my mind that had to be turned on and it was unlike any schooling I had ever had. This class makes me use my mind and not just learn a bunch of grammar.

After 3 years learning with Duolingo and one term of face to face evening classes, I felt that I needed some more focussed learning to get me actually speaking Spanish and saw My Daily Spanish through the YouTube videos that they post featuring Lucia. I took the plunge and opted for the 12 week Spanish Language Accelerator Program. I am so glad I did. I got a 12 week program set out right at the beginning based on my current knowledge and my objectives. My coach, Evelyn is brilliant. I meet her once a week and she takes time to explain the areas that I am struggling with. The program can be tweaked when I feel the need to spend more time on a particular area. I think what really makes this program stand alone is the wrap-around resources - Veronica who reviews the weekly essays and gives great feedback and points to improve, Lucia’s videos, the learning community where I can engage with others on the programme and Carlos who is the ‘go to’ person if I have any questions/comments. Every six weeks, there is an assessment so I can see my improvement. I’ve learned more in 12 weeks than I did in 3 years with Duolingo. I felt really uncomfortable at the beginning, especially with having to video myself speaking (but you’ve got to push yourself out of your comfort zone, right?) Now, I love it so much, I’ve signed up for another 12 weeks! I would definitely recommend this program.

If you are trying to learn Spanish, you quickly realize that the language spoken in Madrid is completely different from the Spanish spoken in Mexico City. Trying to learn vocabulary and listening skills when the accents, slang, and dialects keep shifting can be incredibly overwhelming and confusing.

That is exactly why My Daily Spanish stands out. They paired me with a coach from my target country is an absolute game-changer.
Instead of getting a confusing mix of regional dialects, I was able to focus entirely on the exact accent and local expressions of the region I care about most. It built my listening confidence so much faster and saved me from the frustration of mixing up regional vocabulary. If you want to learn practical, real-world Spanish that actually matches the place you plan to visit or communicate with, I cannot recommend them enough!

All aspects of this program are exceedingly helpful? Live interaction with an instructor weekly, online textbooks ,references to specific areas of Grammer and vocabulary, community discussions and question/answer sessions, personal communications for specific questions. A well set up website to all the above and more. The cost is acceptable for this level of learning.

I still have weaknesses as an advanced learner after many years of study up to and beyond university level and in the Language Accelerator Program, I found an incredible platform to address these gaps in my abilities (in particular spontaneous speech generation). I have also been matched with a truly marvellous coach, Rosa Hernández, who works her magic to diminish my weaknesses and enhance my strengths.

The Spanish Language Accelerator program has been fantastic. I have been using it for over a year (with the same coach). I love the one on one coaching and conversation practice every week. This helps them understand my strengths and where I need to spend more time studying. My confidence has grown tremendously. There are also midterms and finals to assess your progress. There is homework each week that allows you to practice reading, writing, and listening. The lessons give you a chance to read outloud and have a conversation. My coach has been patient and helpful. I would highly recommend it if you are considering a more structured learning environment that is also fun and stress free. The one on one attention is perfect for adult learners. Yes, you need to put in the work, but it is worth it when you see your progress.

Spanish Language Coach has been a great asset in my goal to achieve Spanish fluency.

I get personalized coaching, feedback, writing reviews and regular practice exercises. In the past I have tried many different on-line Spanish teaching tools and SLA stands above them all. The secret is in the personalized coaching. Once a week I meet face to face with my teacher and we go over that weeks lessons. I can move forward as fast as I want, I can slow down if I don't understand a lesson.

I have three favorite parts of the program. The first is the writing assignments and the feedback and editing that I get. This has been great for my overall learning. The second favorite is the practice I get in speaking and listening to my coach. The third is getting to know a person from another country. While my teacher is very professional and puts me first, she is also open to questions I ask her and I feel we are getting to know each other. All in all I feel she has respect for me and concerned for my learning needs.

Spanish Language Coach is so positive and affirming that I am thriving under its tutelage. It's definitely worth the price of admission.

The Language Accelerator program has been very helpful in developing my Spanish knowledge.
Having the regularity of a weekly one on one lesson to work towards has improved my study focus.
I have found the text reviews especially helpful. It's a great program.
