"Hi, I’ve really enjoyed my Spanish lessons with Laura Baylon over the past few years. She is a lovely person and a great teacher. She pushes me to increase my vocabulary while discussing interesting topics and history. It’s exactly what I need. Thank you Laura!! Jackie." Jackie T. - Unknown

"I had a super experience with Live Lingua." Deborah H. - Unknown

"I'm enjoying my twice weekly lessons with Jacob and find him to be an excellent teacher. During the 2+ years of working with him our classes have transitioned from sessions that cover specific material to more free-flowing conversations, but he continues to push me by posing questions that advance my Spanish competency, and correcting my grammatical errors." Jeffrey H. - Unknown

"If you want to learn Spanish, Live Lingua is the best option short of going to live in a Spanish speaking country. It really does feel like an immersion school." Cenk S. - Lawyer
