"It had been 14 years since I studied Spanish in college & I thought I had forgotten [just about] everything. I enrolled in a four week Spanish course at Conversa after returning from a long Middle-East deployment with the Marine Corps. The staff at Conversa assessed my strengths and weaknesses, and paired me with students at the same level. After four weeks, most of the knowledge had returned & my conversational ability was BETTER than it was in college.

Classes were intense and challenging, but enjoyable. I had four different instructors--all exceptional—and I can’t say enough about them. They all have good senses of humor & are light hearted, BUT they know how to challenge and get the most out of you. Three of them are still there (I remember now that one was a guest instructor). Classes are very small so it's "your turn" all the time. It's the only way to go.

If you want to learn as much Spanish as you can in the shortest time possible, I would recommend going to Conversa; living with a host family; and maybe brushing up before you go."
