When I retired I had a bucket list. One item on the list was to learn Spanish. I wanted it to be fun and high quality. I have taken Spanish from Ronda now over a year. She has a well organized program but is flexible to my goals and needs. She has a vast knowledge of language and I have learned so much about English as she teaches me Spanish. She infuses her teaching with cultural pearls. I am so glad I found her.

Where do I begin!? Rhonda is incredible! Not only is she so kind, funny, and gentle in her approach. Her way of teaching actually works! I took 3 years of Spanish in high school and am way beyond what Those 3 years in just 4 months with her. I started taking classes so I could learn Spanish to speak with my boyfriends family and I can't believe that I could actually communicate after just a few months with her. My only regret is that I didn't start sooner. She makes learning fun, hilarious, and do-able! I Just lover her and her classes so much! She truly cares about her students and helping us learn Spanish!

I signed up for a four-workshop package with Ronda and had my first class last Sunday. I can't say enough good things about Ronda's hospitality, charming school room with many visual aids on the walls (This really helps visual learners!), and her fun yet effective teaching techniques. She is experienced and she knows what works. The six hours just flew by. We received some printed material including 400 common verbs.....so useful. Lunch and snacks were delicious too.
If you have any remote interest in learning Spanish, or brushing up on what you already know, run, don't walk, to Weekend En Espanol!

Looking for a friendly, safe space to improve your Spanish language skills, verbal and written? Look no further! Ronda Calef manages to make learning fun and stimulating at all levels of experience. Lots of conversation and lively exchange along with tips for retaining grammar, and exploring culture and literature. Weekend en Español also offers weekend workshops and even travel related Spanish immersion. Highly recommended!

I've studied Spanish off and on since I was in sixth grade, and can travel speaking Spanish well enough. But now, through Weekend, I feel I am consolidating what I've learned and moving forward, instead of just falling back on what I know. Ronda makes it fun, and has lots of tricks to learn things. You can do as much or as little homework as you want, so its suitable for someone who is busy.

I've studied Spanish at a number of different schools; this is the BEST!!! Interesting classes and great immersion program in Oaxaca, Mexico. I've enjoyed all classes and my Spanish has improved immensely.
Don't understand the previous reviews. Rhonda and the other staff have always been very friendly and accommodating.
