Reviews

Our students love the freedom, flexibility and support we offer. See what they're saying about Sophia's courses.

by Ryan C. on March 31, 2025
Wish it was more about actually learning spanish and less about things about spanish speaking countries. Also frustrating that it tried to include so much regional spanish in one short lesson. Too much to try and intake at once, you can get by in Costa Rica without voseo, so why stress about it if you are just trying to get started with spanish? Other than that its a good course

Great and informative course.

I like how they teach you little by little. I like how you can learn at your own pace.
by Mary H. on March 31, 2025
The work I submitted for Touchstone 4 was clearly not fairly graded. I understand the assignment and submitted with few if any grammatical errors.
