Our Student’s Success Stories

Slade's unique approach to teaching Spanish gets you speaking Spanish really fast, the classes are fun, the take home manual is excellent and there is regular engagement involving sharing of tips and material to practice. I had tried language apps before and whilst useful they are no substitute for personal teacher led lessons. I recommend The Spanish Academy to all my friends.

I took private lessons with Slade a few months prior to moving to Central America. Slade is an outstanding teacher and has developed an excellent method of teaching. He knows exactly how the brain works with languages. I was fortunate to have started my spanish language journey with Slade because his lessons lay a strong foundation for my further learning of the language now that I live in Central America. I highly recommend anyone who's interested in learning Spanish to go with The Spanish Academy South Africa!

Our experience at the Spanish Academy and our interactions with Slade were of an extremely high standard. If you’re thinking about learning Spanish, this is by far the best place to go!

Slade Frank is my language-God! I never in a million years thought I would learn a new language in my fifties, but I am, thanks so this genius who has made it easy and fun, yet challenging. The Spanish Academy is the only way to go. Thank you.

For years I had been looking for a place where I could attend Spanish classes, I didn't want a formal lecture , but a more intimate and interactive class, well , the Spanish academy is the absolute best , classes are intimate, interactive, fun, crazy and cover so much of the language in a diversified way , you learn all sorts of ways to say one thing , you get to learn different approaches through the method of layers that Slade uses ….. The Spanish academy with Maestro Slade is the best ,whether you are a beginner or intermediate I recommend it 100%

The Best teacher in S.A.!

Excellent way to learn if you want to learn Spanish fast and in a very exciting way! I tried apps and various other ways but the way we have been taught really embeds the structure of Spanish in ones mind. I am now onto my second course. The founder (Slade) is a passion-filled master of his trade has gone out of his way to make the learning process simultaneously entertaining and educational! I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE SPANISH ACADEMY SA! Muchas gracias! 🙂

Slade has been of great assistance to me as I prepare for my journey to Spain. A phenomenal teacher who goes the extra mile to make his lessons super entertaining! I would recommend this class to anyone who is keen to learn Spanish.

After meeting Slade virtually as an enigmatic lecturer, he has become a mentor and not only that has taught me to speak Spanish! A language that I can speak, understand and read, albeit a newbie, we have so much fun while learning and an added bonus that our group supports each other. Slade muchas gracias a mi fenonmenal maestro
