Testimonial

Josefa Solano-Richante, Programs Associate Family & Teen Programs, Metropolitan Museum of Art

“Both French and Spanish classes have been great experiences! In the language classes, there are students on different skill levels. Soha and my teacher are great teachers. They are super patient and accommodate students at all levels. I've really enjoyed their teaching styles as well. I've learned so much and am able to speak more confidently.”

William Blueher, Museum Metadata & Collections Librarian

“I'd taken 3 years of Spanish in high school, but haven't done anything with that in 18 years! This course was a great way to get reintroduced to the language. And it was a treat learning from our teacher - she is an excellent profesora!”
