Learn Spanish Today!

The Spanish Academy is the top-rated Spanish language school in South Africa, offering rapid results and practical knowledge of the language in the shortest time frame. At the Spanish Academy, we teach an unprecedented conversational skills course to people traveling to Spain, the USA, South, and Central America.

Our clients range from school children to adults. We cover all aspects of reading, writing, and grammatical skills, placing a huge emphasis on the importance of sound conversational techniques. To be in a foreign country, be it for vacation or relocation purposes, without the proper means of communication can be a daunting prospect.

We aim to give our clients confidence in all types of situations, thus allowing quick and easy integration into the Spanish culture. Comments are always made by former students as to how their experiences were so much greater and more rewarding as they were able to speak freely and get to know the wonderful people and spirit of the different countries.

  • 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!!

  • The Spanish Academy has sparked a lifelong passion for the language. I’ve enjoyed Slade’s teaching methods, which build your confidence and abilities quickly, his endless encouragement and wicked sense of humour so much that I’ve completed the beginner, intermediate and advanced courses. The journey has been most rewarding with seeing my fellow group members – the majority of the same people since I started last year – improve in their abilities and the sense of community and camaraderie that we’ve built up. It’s a true testament to Slade’s skills in guiding our group expertly and the fun that we’ve had while learning so much. If you’re keen to take your Spanish speaking to the next level for travel, work or to open up a whole new world of possibilities, don’t hesitate to sign up with The Spanish Academy.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • I started Spanish lessons with Slade in June this year and within a very short time was actually able to speak Spanish. Slade is a very inspiring teacher who constantly motivates his students. I find the voice notes to be a very helpful tool in the learning process. The classes are fun with lots of laughs and insights into the Spanish speaking countries and the different ways of communicating. I would recommend these classes to anyone who wants to learn quickly in a fun and relaxed environment.

  • 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
