Still not sure which level to choose? That’s completely normal—start where it feels right, and we can always adjust 💚
Built-in flexibility 💚
You don’t need to commit to a specific day—just come to what works each week.
Most students attend the same class(es) regularly, but if your schedule changes, you can join another class at the same level—or one level up or down—as needed.
All online classes are recorded, so you can always catch up if you miss one.
Choose your plan:
👉 Enroll in 1x/week → attend any one class per week

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Elizabeth, Lifelong learner (retired)
Spanish Alive is so much more than a weekly class. Between the student portal, the extra conversation hours, and the book swap events, I’ve had so many chances to grow outside of class.
Colleen creates such a warm, encouraging space, and being part of this community has made learning Spanish one of the most fun and fulfilling parts of my week.
SAMANTHA R, RN
As a nurse, I never know what my schedule is going to look like, but Colleen is so flexible and understanding, which has made it possible for me to stick with Spanish.
Her classes are actually fun, and I’ve already been able to use what I’ve learned with my Spanish-speaking patients.
It feels amazing to connect with them in their own language.
Susan S
This is the most stress free and fun experience I've had as an adult learner of a new skill. The instructors are engaged, energetic, and very welcoming. I've taken two classes and am pretty amazed at the instructor's ability to meet each student at their own comfort level even within a classroom of different learners.
