Our Student’s Success Stories

The Best teacher in S.A.!

I started my beginners course with Slade in February And it was the best decision I have ever made. The class is absolutely amazing and fun, and with Slade as your teacher, you’ll never fail to feel proud and good about your accomplishments, he motivates you and sets you up for success. I can now understand and speak Spanish on a profound level. Muchas gracias Slade . Yo hablo español y tú también puedes! 💃🏼

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%

I can recommend Slade and the Spanish Academy wholeheartedly! I have been a student of his for nearly eight months now. He is professional, and the emphasis is on good communication. His classes are always something to look forward to in the week. If you want to learn Spanish, Slade is the way to go!!

Slade is an amaizing lecturer and has great communication skills. I have done the beginners course and can truly say that I can now have a basic conversation in Spanish. The material is easy to understand and the Slade gives you the tools to expand your knowledge. Muchas Gracias Slade.

I have had the privilege of being instructed by Slade. The rate at which I learnt surprised me. His methods make it easy to grasp the language and I have managed to retain what I learnt through Slade even though I am not among Spanish speaking people daily to practice. I would definitely recommend Slade to anyone who wishes to learn Spanish!

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!

Slade is a great teacher with a unique style in helping you to absorb Spanish. I have tried other methods of learning Spanish in the past and failed abysmally until now. I thoroughly enjoyed the introductory level programme and will no doubt move on to intermediate at some point in the future.

I started learning Spanish with Slade in 2018. Since then I have been able to understand my Spanish friends' whatsapp group messages and have some conversations with Spanish friends in Spanish... I enjoy the classes with Slade and hope to travel and speak Spanish in a foreign country soon!
