I contacted the Spanish Circle through their website and asked them which class I should enroll in. The owner called me back and gave me advice on other options (including competing institutions) given my background, and my objectives. He took a long time detailing these options and followed up with an email. I appreciated his candid advice. He was not trying to sell me his classes. He actually thought that another place might be better suited since a program that is extremely fast-paced and all in Spanish would fit my goals better (want to learn in one year, and not mind the challenge, willing to go to class 2-3 times a week). He educated me about the options in the city. I was impressed by his willingness to help, even when it is not profitable for him to do so. I will go to another institution for the basic classes, and go to Spanish Circle for some complementary classes, since my research shows that Spanish Circle can provide me with the breadth that I need. I highly recommend this institution to everyone.
