Live the Language

I’m just about to begin my second round of classes with Live The Language, and I can’t recommend Deidre enough! She’s incredibly warm, patient, and encouraging — the kind of teacher who makes you feel comfortable speaking, even when you’re unsure. In just a few months, my confidence speaking Spanish has improved immensely. The lessons are engaging, relaxed, and she really breaks down the "why" behind when to use certain words, phrases, etc. Deidre’s approach takes the pressure out of learning a new language and makes it genuinely fun. The price is also great for what you get out of it. Not only are there classes, but also other activities like karaoke and lunch/dinner.

After plugging away at Spanish on Duolingo for several years, I decided to invest in an in-person class to improve my pronunciation and fluency. The two hours of weekly class are intense, but Deidre made the time fly by with fun conversational learning and different exercises, and I really liked the small class size. She also offers a lot of social events such as happy hours and karaoke to help you practice Spanish even more. I'm looking forward to taking another class with her soon!

I would absolutely recommend Live the Language classes to anyone at any point in their Spanish speaking journey! I was self taught for a handful of years and attended Maestra Deidre’s intermediate beginner class and my Spanish speaking level and fluency has far exceeded my expectations. Group sizes are fun and intimate, and allow for you to learn proper foundational Spanish speaking skills that are otherwise really tough to understand on your own. I am continuing my Spanish learning journey and will continue to take Maestra’s classes because they really are that impactful and worthwhile! Mil gracias, hasta la próxima!

I've recently completed the beginner level Spanish course with Live the Language. Deidre is very pleasant to work with, she is patient and encouraging. The lesson plan is well though out and easy to comprehend. The class itself is interactive, you are practicing speaking with classmates, asking and answering questions. You also get access to Quizlet practices and all lessons are recorded so you can go back and review. I've tried many different outlets of learning Spanish, and this program definitely works for me. I look forward to the next level courses. Definitely recommend learning a language from this program!

Live the Language was a great way for me to learn beginner Spanish. Deidre has a really excellent program that focuses on the initial hurdles that people face learning a new language and scales from the basics to learning how to converse in everyday idioms. I feel like I have the foundation to really expand my language journey thanks to Deidre and look forward to taking the intermediate class. I also really appreciate the extracurricular activities and opportunities to really immerse in the Spanish speaking world. I would recommend Live the Language to anyone that wants to learn Spanish in a heartbeat!
