What Level do I sign up for?
We focus on your speaking level because, for many, speaking Spanish can be more challenging than understanding it. On a scale of 1 to 5, how would you rate your speaking ability? If you’re not quite sure, we’re here to help you find the right fit.
You can move between levels until you find the group that feels right—one where you’re both comfortable and occasionally challenged. If you’re still uncertain about which level to choose, feel free to stay after class for a 1:1 chat with one of our facilitators. We’ll work together to find the best group for you!
