Can't recommend World Language Institute enough! I took Spanish all through middle school and high school and then it basically all went away once I stopped using it. But taking these classes has given me hope that I can relearn it! William is the best, he's so fun and encouraging and has helped me have a deeper understanding of spanish grammar than I ever have before.

I love Marcela and World Language Institute! I came here knowing some basic Spanish, but not much more, and in one year, Marcela got me to an intermediate-advanced level. The lessons were completely personalized to what I wanted/needed to focus on, and she was incredibly responsive to my needs. She is also a genuinely lovely person, which made the lessons feel more like chatting with a friend (albeit in Spanish!). I also attended the Conversation MeetUps that World Language Institute offers, and those were engaging, structured, and always lots of fun. I can't recommend this place enough.

Can't say enough good things about taking Spanish lessons with World Language Institute. Their instructors are top notch and the founder is a dynamic, outstanding, fun instructor. She really has the ability to bring the Spanish class together and help each individual person at their own level. I've been taking private Spanish lessons for almost a year and I am able to understand most conversations. We've been working on my business Spanish applications and it's amazing how much it's helped me with my clients already. World Language is really a great place to learn conversational Spanish or business Spanish.

This was my first experience with a foreign language since high school, where I had only taken German. I wanted to learn the Spanish language to be able to have small conversations with my Latin American friends, and for a fun worthwhile learning experience. Starting from the very basics of learning the alphabet to now conjugating verbs in multiple tenses, Marcela has made this experience better than I could have expected. She tailors the learning environment to you, providing exercises that teach, along with forming a fun and enjoyable conversation. During my class lessons and exercises, she will notice the areas in which I struggle. She then explains the idea for me in as many different ways as it takes to grasp the concept. She provides extra examples expressing and reinforcing the main idea. In my classes, I feel absolutely free to express myself in our conversations and in the learning activities, along with what I want to achieve from my language classes. If a person wants to learn the Spanish language in a friendly, fun and effective way, I would recommend Marcela and my experience to anyone.

I have been taking Spanish classes here for over a year and it has been amazing! I have tried several different programs to learn Spanish but none of them really made a difference until I came to World Language Institute. Their program offers individualized or small group classes and also has a meetup group that gives you the opportunity to have conversational immersion language experiences on a regular basis without ever leaving Houston! You can learn verbs and sentence structure anywhere, but if you want to be really bilingual you have to practice enough to actually think and communicate in the new language. This program gave me that opportunity and Marcela is an amazing teacher!
