The course was super useful while traveling, from the general hello and goodbye to learning how outlining the time, checking for dietary requirements, converting currency and a whole lot more...

My teacher, Paula, was absolutely excellent! She kept us engaged, having fun and overall, you could tell she was so happy to be teaching her native language to people that really wanted to learn.

I highly recommend El Patio. I started in 2017 with a short Spanish for travellers course before a holiday hoping that it would teach me a few useful phrases, and it was such a great course that I've been studying there ever since.
You may have questions like who joins our classes, or can I bring tacos (the answer is always yes). We're here to make your learning journey fun, impactful and easy.
