Indianapolis Spanish Place at a glance

Reviewers highlight small class sizes, native speaker instructors, and affordable pricing that facilitate rapid conversational progress through varied activities. Students frequently mention the supportive atmosphere and the owner's direct communication regarding scheduling or concerns. However, negative feedback cites high costs for private lessons, unreturned phone calls, and a perception that beginner courses move too quickly for absolute novices.

I read the reviews before I enrolled, and now having had four different instructors through them, I agree that everyone who said 'it depends on the teacher' was correct. Some are very organized and experienced, others a little less so, but the owner Diana is very engaged in the students' experiences and very communicative, so if you're not happy you can always talk to her. She does a fantastic job running it and you can tell she really cares! So sure, maybe you get a teacher you don't like, but you can talk to Diana and get your class switched very easily if so. And honestly all the instructors I had I liked just fine, but they do vary in method. For language classes, it's quite affordable too.

Thank you so much Nicole! We truly appreciate it.

I have taken 3 sessions of classes so far at Indianapolis Spanish Place and highly recommend it. They have online and in-person options, and emphasize learning Spanish as rapidly as possible through speaking, reading, listening, and writing - even from Beginner 1! I think it can be very challenging if you have never learned or spoken another language, but if you need to become conversational for work or your personal life, this is an excellent option.
