I took classes at a couple other schools around Seattle, and didnt make much progress. When I started the immersion classes with Vamonos I could suddenly have basic conversations in Spanish! Its been a couple of years, and I cant wait to travel to a spanish speaking country to practice my conversation skills. One of the best things this school gave me was the confidence to goof and make speaking mistakes and keep going anyway. Ive had classes with Amanda and Nelda, and theyre both such great teachers and keep the class light hearted and fun-- even over Zoom. Highly recommend this school if you want to learn Spanish.

Amanda is a wonderful teacher; fun, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. I have tried other Spanish classes and approaches to learning Spanish, but always quit. I think I've finally found a teacher and teaching style that I will stick with.

If you are thinking of learning a little spanish, traveling to a hispanic country, already know a little from high school but aren't able to use it to have a comfortable conversation- definitely sign up for one of the spanish lessons at Vamanos! The teaching style and quality is far superior than any you will find at community college or other places where a lot of learning relies on memory. The experience is extremely immersive with lots of speaking practice to ensure each student gets comfortable, friendly and forgiving environment where everyone is there to learn. This was important to me as an introvert and not having learned spanish in school. You do role play, ask each other and Amanda questions , go over the material, practice it and get to work with each person in the class. A group of us meet in chocolati each week to practice spanish. Its totally optional with no teacher and we go to dinner too - you make fast friends in this class. Amanda who teaches spanish 101 is a treat! She brings a load of positive energy to the class. The small class size ensures you get a chance to ask questions, practice and everyone knows your name. The folks in the class range between young to old, all eager to learn a new language for travel or just for fun. You will fit right in. Going to spanish class is the highlight of my week and i was able to fit this in despite a grueling work schedule. You can too! Pros: - Unique immersive experience that ensures you can speak spanish not just memorize a few phrases - small class sizes - copyrighted material they have developed which is easy to learn and doesn't overload you with self study or memorization. It never feels overwhelming. - you make good friends at class and at the optional practice study group. - relaxed environment with snacks - Amanda is a fantastic teacher. I wish we could clone her for all our schools! Cons- -Take 5 mins to find parking - you might think you are moving slowly as you arent given 50 words per class to memorize. This can be alarming if you are planning a crash course to travel. However, a fellow student counted the number of new words in each class that we were organically using despite it not being in our sheet and it was over 50! As all the conversations are in spanish and you learn by context, repetition and questions/ look up- it really sticks! Listing it here as it can come across as moving slower but you aren't actually slower than another class and will be retaining a lot more with ability to use the words in more sentences. - Hard to get into span 101. This is required unless you do a verbal phone test for placement into one of the other classes. I didnt feel confident about being able to go into a higher class( and i was right!)- so i was waiting each quarter for span101 to be offered. During the year there are only a few sessions and summer tends to have more. Sign up for their email list to get notified of when classes get posted as they fill up quick. I waited 6 months to get into mine by signing up the very next day after the email. Check the website often as new classes get posted. Highly recommend using Vamanos for your spanish learning needs! I am finishing span 101 and already registered for span102.
