Our Student’s Success Stories

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.

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 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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!
