 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been taking classes for about 6 months now and love it! This school has helped me get better at speaking, widen my vocabulary, and quickly learn more conjugations to communicate more effectively. If you're feeling like you can't break out of the basics/beginner phase/present tense spanish level this school will definitely help! I take classes primarily with Gimena and sometimes with Carmen - both do a fantastic job with their students! Looking forward to continuing classes!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I enrolled and attended Spanish I & Spanish II classes (2/23 - 6/15/26) at Studio Espanol. My experience was excellent. The online enrollment was very easy and the per class price is reasonable. My instructor (Joaquin Frias) was outstanding. He is knowledgeable and was always well prepared for classes. He learned all students’ names and consistently kept us engaged during classes. Makeup sessions are allowed and may be with another instructor. I had to make up three classes and had the pleasure of being instructed by Carmen and Gaby. They are also excellent and well-prepared. If you are planning to learn Spanish and are from the Metro Detroit area, I highly recommend Studio Espanol.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fun, approachable, and engaging!  If you've been thinking about taking a Spanish class, stop searching.  The classes are a small group format with a perfect mix of reading, writing, and conversation.  The teachers are supportive, knowledgable, and kind.  There's optional coursework to extend your learning at home, but no quizzes or stressful grading.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I signed up for a group class and it exceeded my expectations. I also want to mention these group classes have a mixed demographic of all ages. I did have a initial worry the class would be mostly kids learning Spanish for school. But it turned out to be a group of people of all backgrounds who just want to learn Spanish for various reasons. Low stress, relaxed and fun environment to learn Spanish. Highly recommend!

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How many students are in each class?

Generally, classes consist of six students to twelve students.

How long will it take me to learn to speak Spanish?

Like learning to play an instrument, a sport, or any worthwhile endeavor, it depends on each individual and their commitment and ability. Most students stay with us for a long time as they see progress. It also depends on each person’s goals.

Are the instructors native Spanish speakers?

All of our instructors are native Spanish speakers from different Spanish-speaking countries.

What is different from other Spanish learning programs?

It can help, but like learning a sport or instrument, it falls short on its own. Would you learn to play golf or tennis with software only?

No. Students new to Spanish should join the Beginner’s class. Those with previous experience may try any of our ongoing groups.

Is there free parking?
