I took two weeks of Spanish classes (with Teresita, I would highly recommend her) which I found both very good value and really helpful. A total of 40 hours improved my grammar, broadened my vocabulary and when I left León I felt a lot more confident talking. Some weeks later I got a nice compliment saying my teacher should get...
