A Great and Calm Way to Improve Your Spanish I think Platica was a wonderful platform to help me improve my Spanish. At first, I was nervous that I would be heavily judged due to not being a fluent speaker, but rather Ceci helped me improve my Spanish greatly. I have been using Platica for two years with my school, and quite honestly I enjoyed speaking with Ceci. I learned to "go off script" and just have a more natural conversation. I recommend this to anyone who truly wants to improve your Spanish, because with Platica people like Ceci share that goal as well and will do what they can to help!

My experience with Platica was… My experience with Platica was fantastic! I met two really amazing women who taught me a lot about their culture and personal experiences and our conversations together helped improve my Spanish. Speaking with native speakers is a really valuable experience, and I'm so glad I got this opportunity to practice and learn more about Guatemala.

I had so much fun! I had so much fun with these conversations! I loved being able to speak every week with Alejandra and she made my experience so great! I never felt judged or scared about saying something wrong or sounding stupid if I didn’t know how to say something. I learned a lot and would love to be able to stay in touch with her moving forward since my minor for Spanish has just ended! I think this program is so worthwhile and something I would recommend to anyone else looking to better their speaking skills and become more comfortable talking in Spanish!

Amazing partner! Ale was the best speaking partner! She was so personable and friendly, I would definitely recommend! Also didn’t make me feel bad or uncomfortable for not knowing a word or two.

Great Spanish learning tool Platica is a great tool that helped me improve my Spanish skills. I got to converse with a native Spanish speaker, which really helps when trying to learn a new language. We would discuss pre-selected topics and, if time allowed, talk about other subjects that came to mind. This program really put me outside of my comfort zone in a good way because I got to hone my Spanish skills in an environment that encouraged improvement.
