Our Student’s Success Stories

Slade’s building block methodology makes Spanish easy to grasp conceptually. He makes the learning and understanding Spanish fun, entertaining and exciting. His ability to project himself into my future needs and create relevant conversations and examples in each lesson was remarkable. I thoroughly enjoyed our lessons and his encouragement, guidance and support. I highly recommend taking his classes.

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!

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! 🙂

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!

I can recommend this school with confidence. The academy provides us a high quality of Spanish. We created a very wonderful classroom-group where I have lot of fun! It is being a great experience! Thank you, Slade!

I recommend The Spanish Academy wholeheartedly! We really were able to speak Spanish with confidence after the first lesson, never mind after the first course with Slade, and enjoyed it so much that we continued with his Advanced course! To anyone thinking its difficult to learn a new language, Slade has you covered! Gracias Slade!

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 have studied Spanish at university level and could not speak the language. I started studying with Slade at the Spanish academy and have learnt more studying with Slade than I ever did studying 3 years of university Spanish. Slade has a unique style of teaching Spanish. He understands the method of teaching a language to English speaking students and his passion and enthusiasm is clearly felt in his classes. You will be speaking Spanish in a few short weeks if you follow his technique. If you are thinking about studying Spanish, then this is the place to be. I highly recommend Slade and The Spanish Academy

My daughter convinced me I could learn Spanish in just 12 weekly 3 hour lessons. I was skeptical, until I met Slade, the proprietor of the Spanish Academy. Eccentric, flamboyant and mysteriously delightful is how I would describe him; but I daresay, I still am not doing justice to his brilliance... Before we left the first lesson we could understand whole passages he read to us in Spanish; it was freaky. Well needless to say, the rest of the course lived up to its promise and after 12 weeks, if not completely conversant, we could fully understand virtually anything he wanted to discuss in Spanish.
