I highly recommend a Parcero Membership. The online live classes and personal tutoring are my favorite of the numerous resources available which I discovered through the Espanolistos podcast. Andrea's teaching and explanations are spot on and her Spanish is simply beautiful to listen to as she helps us understand the language. Her partnership with Nate in the podcasts helps us English speakers know why we make the errors we do when learning Spanish. And lastly, the immersion program they have set up in Colombia is a great experience to level up your speaking skills the best way possible!

I became a Parcero 1.5 year ago after listening to Españolistos podcast for several months. The way Andrea and Nate present and deliver the most challenging materials is so charming that you don’t realize how much you are actually learning. I love studying and always look for a structure and some kind of system to achieve the best results. Here I found exactly what I need- a goal, clear agenda, effective task-based teaching approach with a variety of skills acquisition opportunities and a very friendly fun environment. My favorite part of Spanishland School is the teachers- Andrea, Diana, Delkin and Paula are very knowledgeable, helpful and very friendly. I see them so often that already consider them my family. With their help, my Spanish has improved tremendously through regular studies and conversations. Speaking tutorials are a huge benefit! Since joining the program, I practiced Spanish locally, visited a few Latin America countries and even interviewed a dance legend in Spanish. I am so happy and grateful for the wonderful experience and would highly recommend Parcero membership to everyone who is ready to embark on a new fun journey of mastering Spanish.

This course has been a phenomenal change for me in terms of my spanish fluidity and understanding of grammar and a real confidence builder in my communication in Spanish with people I help in the community.

Spanishland School is the best money I've ever spent. Outside of my wedding ring, of course!

I am so happy with the Parcero membership! I am an intermediate-advanced student but struggled with many different "gaps" in my Spanish. You have done an amazing job of selecting each topic for the month. Each subject is something that I have struggled with. Everything about the program is very user-friendly and well thought-out. The podcasts are amazing along with the YouTube channel. Your passion for teaching always shines. Thank you for everything you and your team does.

The Spanishland Parcero Membership is a fantastic course for intermediate and advanced Spanish language learners. It is the perfect compliment to my weekly sessions with a Spanish tutor. I love the deep dives we take into the subtleties of grammar, expressions, and vocabulary and the option for lots of practice and review. Andrea is a gifted teacher who can clearly explain tricky concepts. My ability to speak and understand Spanish has greatly improved with the help of this wonderful course.

Before joining in 2019 I listened to the Spanishland Podcast. Andrea and Nate were so inspiring. The Parcero Membership is well organized and entertaining and the entire staff is skilled and professional. Andrea is a great teacher and you can tell her heart and soul are sincerely enthusiastic and committed. I also do the one-on-one conversation classes with Paula; very helpful. She is a delight. The new Club de Lectura is another component in which I am participating that is amazing. I can’t say enough about how much I love Spanishland.

When I finally reached an intermediate level in Spanish, it became difficult to know where I should go from there. The intermediate level is vast and it was not easy to navigate for me. Spanishland School was the solution: it is an in-depth system of continuous improvement with quality classes, continuous check-ins, and a variety of material to interest all kinds of students. I am so very grateful to have found Andrea, Nate, and the team. They are genuinely concerned with helping us achieve our goals. ¡Gracias Andrea! Spanishland me ha ayudado muchísimo. 💜

Me uní a la membresía de Spanishland porque las lecciones son excelentes, las explicaciones son claras, y incluyen muchos muchos recursos. La escuela se ha convertido en una parte importante de mi viaje diario de aprendizaje de español. Recientemente, me uní la club de lecturas. Me encanto leer el libro, participar en las discusiones, y aprender vocabulario a través el libro. Aprender español es un proceso largo. Estoy agradecida de tener un socio tan maravilloso. ¡Spanishland School es la mejor!

Hace cinco años me topé con un video en YouTube en el que una joven estaba visitando un molino de caña de azúcar en Colombia. Este molino pertenecía a su abuelo y ella estaba explicando el proceso. Para mí, este tema era muy interesante, pero lo que llamó mi atención fue la manera en que ella hablaba. Aunque solo había estado estudiando español por poco tiempo, ¡pude entender casi todas las palabras! Por supuesto, esta mujer era Andrea Alger y poco después, me enteré de que ella tenía un programa llamado Spanishland School. Decidí inscribirme en este programa. En cuanto a mi aprendizaje del español, ha sido una de las mejores decisiones. Definitivamente, un programa bien organizado para obtener grandes resultados. Merece una reseña de cinco estrellas.

This course has been a phenomenal change for me in terms of my spanish fluidity and understanding of grammar and a real confidence builder in my communication in Spanish with people I help in the community.

I really recommend the Parcero membership. I don't always have time to commit to learning Spanish grammar, but the membership is set up, so you can go at your own pace and take the classes and quizzes when you have time. If you want more, they have live classes and tutors as well as book clubs. I love the speaking class at the end of the month where I can also get to know other students. I went on one of the immersion trips and loved it! My favorite thing was meeting the whole family in Bucaramanga. Check it out for yourself!

He estado una estudiante de Spanishland School por 5 años. Me he quedado con Spanishland porque cada mes yo aprendo más. Creo que mi nivel ha subido pero hay mucho más a aprender. Andrea es uny muy buena profesora. Ella puede enseñar temas complicados de una manera que podamos aprender. También, ell se puede anticipar nuestras dudas y preguntas y responde de una manera que entendamos. Les recomiendo Spanishland y El Parcero Membresía!

Recomiendo este curso en línea sin dudas ni vacilaciones para estudiantes de intermedio o alto nivel que quieren mejorar sus habilidades para hablar, escuchar y escribir español. Había estado hablando mal español durante muchos años antes de decidir a mejorar mi español en 2021. Desde entonces he estado estudiando español con Spanishland School y mi nivel del idioma ha mejorado enormemente. Como todas las cosas en la vida, el ritmo de mejora depende del esfuerzo del estudiante. También es importante descatar que para mejorar más rápido es necesario hacer cosas además de las clases de Spanishland School en línea. No es tan fácil como se dicen en los anuncios de Duolingo, Babbel, etc. Pero en mi opinión participar en Spanishland School es el más importante además de ser muy divertido.

If you are interested in learning Spanish better if you know a little then Andrea Alger and her spouse Nate run a great program. Andrea is a great teacher. En mi casa se dice que Andrea es la reina de Español. So give Spanishland a try if you want to become a better Spanish speaker. The Parcero Membership provides a complete program for getting there.

I have been a Parcero for almost a year now and it has been the best investment I have made in my Spanish learning journey. My officemate at work who is native Spanish speaker has been commenting how much better I have become and it's all thanks to Andrea and her amazing team. Her videos and podcasts are terrific and the online content is phenomenal. I highly recommend to anyone who is looking to improve their intermediate Spanish and take it to the next level.

I’m a retired ESL teacher and am fairly critical of language teaching programs. Learning another language is the hardest intellectual challenge I’ve ever attempted.

I’ve tried other programs. They have not met my expectations. But this program has exceeded my expectations in every way. It is well thought out and organized, challenging yet very comprehensible. I would highly recommend it to anybody.

Over the last few years, I've gone from a hesitant, broken speaker with limited vocabulary and virtually no grammar knowledge to a confident communicator in Spanish. I am SO grateful for Andrea's excellent, clear teaching, the well-developed learning aids, and the support from all directions.

Spanishland School es un programa excelente. Es exactamente lo que yo he deseado por mucho tiempo. Para mi, es perfecto. Ofrece lecciones bien organizadas y explicadas con muchas actividades diferentes e interesantes. Andrea, tú eres una maestra brillante. Introduces la información en una manera muy clara y en un orden perfecto. Aprecio los recursos interesantes y los podcasts estimulantes.

También me encanta la sinergia entre ustedes. Es obvio que ustedes apoyan uno al otro y que están enamorados. Sus conversaciones son preciosas. Yo creo que es un aspecto de sus programa que ofrece algo diferente que todos los otros que están en línea.

Por todo eso, muchísimas gracias. Espero muchas más clases y actividades con ustedes. Felicitaciones en todo lo que han creado con Spanishland School.

Without a doubt you and Andrea offer the best resources, teaching aids and methods to help anyone wanting to learn Spanish.

A Parcero Membership with Spanishland School has it all: live classes, recorded classes, notes and quizzes to reinforce learning, listening practice, Spanish tutors, speaking practice, reading practice, option to join a book club, writing practice responding to weekly prompts, and direct communication with teachers and staff. It is everything you need to take your Spanish to the next level and learn practical Spanish, nuances of the language, and gain confidence in using your Spanish in communicating with native speakers. There is also an immersion course for travel and study in Colombia. All these benefits are available at an affordable monthly payment. After 2 years as a Parcero Member, my Spanish has dramatically improved both grammatically and conversationally, and I look forward to every month's new course of study.

I joined the membership because I needed to hear Spanish spoken by a native at a pace that I can understand. I have learned to read Spanish well but I want to learn to understand and speak conversational Spanish. SpanishLand School gives me the opportunity to listen to a native speaker, to repeat parts of a recording for more clarity, and to write and speak with corrections. I don’t always keep up with all the lessons but I do it when I can. Nate and Andrea are both very personal and helpful so that I am learning Spanish on my own schedule.

I joined this membership after doing the intensive summer course. I really like all the content and the live classes always are very informative. I still struggle with speaking but the end-of-the-month Zoom calls help a lot! Also, the podcast is easy to understand and so much fun! Sometimes I feel bad for Nate when he makes some mistakes but I feel for him! What is most impressive is that it all is a family business, everybody works together, and me as a student have already learned a lot in those few years I've been a parcera!

I joined the membership because I wanted Spanish instruction from a native speaker. I love the Parcero membership because there is a great mix of learning opportunities: live classes, prerecorded sessions, podcasts, videos, etc. Andrea is so patient and seems really passionate about helping others learn Spanish and Latin American culture. Gracias Andrea y Nate!

This is the most comprehensive program for learning Spanish. With videos, podcasts, live and recorded lessons, transcripts for everything, quizzes to test comprehensive, and weekly learning goals, I study and practice in whatever way is convenient in the moment. Andrea and Nate do a fantastic job.

I LOVE LOVE Spanishland... I really think it's the absolute BEST.

I've been working on improving my Spanish for what seems like forever; this is the 1st time I actually feel like I'm "getting it" / making progress.

You have helped me so much and I have learned so much. You guys are really the best.

I joined Spanishland membership because I was learning Spanish but I needed more practice listening and more help with the grammar. I got both plus so much more. There are so many ways this course has helped me even beyond my goals: with short videos and tips, videos that improve my cultural understanding, lessons that stretch my listening capacity, and new things all the time. Plus it's fun and I look forward to learning more each week!

Si estás buscando un programa para mejorar tu español, no busques más. Spanishland es la mejor opción. Gracias a Spanishland ahora pienso en español, un gran logro. Andrea y Nate se dedican a sus estudiantes, ayudándoles a lograr sus metas. Las clases semanales refuerzan tu aprendizaje. Si quieres ayuda extra, hay excelentes tutores. Y hay mucho más en la plataforma: podcasts, videos... ¡Echa un vistazo y decide por ti mismo!

I highly recommend the Parceros Membership because of its excellent instruction, variety of materials and activities, and the personal attention paid to each student by the Spanishland staff. When I joined, I was achieving at an advanced beginner level and was looking for a way to increase my comprehension and fluency. The structured weekly activities and Zoom lessons (taught by Andrea, a fabulous teacher!) have helped me to read, write, and speak at a much higher level. Try it for a month, and you won't look back!

Para mí, como un estudiante de español de nivel intermedio alto, la membresía de Parceros es una herramienta fabulosa en mi caja de herramientas para mejorar mi español. Estoy aprendiendo muchisísimo con las lecciones de gramática y los ejercicios de escucha son exactamente lo que necesito para mejorar mi comprensión auditiva en español. Aprecio mucho que todas las lecciones de gramática y todos los ejercicios de escucha tienen pruebas que puedo tomar para determinar cuánto entendí de la lección de gramática o del ejercicio de escucha. Lo que a mí me encantan el más con la membresía de Parceros son todos los interesantes ejercicios de escucha y las clases en vivo sobre gramática. Si usted habla español como idioma extranjero, su nivel es intermedio alto o mejor y quiere tener un plan estructurado cada mes para mejorar su español, no puedo recomendar la membresía de Parceros suficientemente. Vale mucho la pena.

I joined as a low intermediate student. I had studied but couldn't speak or understand well. Andrea is a wonderful professor. I can clearly understand her. She is enthusiastic and encouraging. I want to attend class. I want to do the homework. My favorite part of the program is the 45-minute monthly small group calls with students from around the country and the world. I enjoy practicing in a welcoming environment and meeting other people on the same journey I am on with Spanish. I have been to Colombia twice with Spanishland. This program is amazing, and a worthy investment of your time and money!

Muchas gracias! El programa es fantástico. Antes de descubrir Españolistos, yo había escuchado muchos otros. Tu y Andrea son los mejores, y ademas tu eres muy divertido en los podcasts. Felicidades por creer un gran negocio que está ayudando a tanta gente. 

Parceros es un programa increíble. Tiene todo que necesitas para mejorar tu comprensión de la lengua, la estructura de la gramática, como hablar correctamente y fluidamente, y cosas así. El programa es completo: Andrea y Nate y el equipo tiene lecciones de gramática, canciones, entrevistas, documentales. Y todos tienen preguntas de comprensión. Las clases vivas siempre son fascinantes y muchísimo útiles. Cada mes ellos tienen un tema diferente para mejorar un área de la lengua. No hay nada aun cerca disponible en el internet. Ha hecho una gran diferencia en mi vida.

I have learned more in my 9 months in Spanishland School than I have learned in years using other resources including formal classes!

I just want to say again what a great online learning experience you offer. Sometimes it’s difficult to keep motivated to continue learning but this is the longest time I’ve stuck to a plan. After my end of month free group call with Diana last week my motivation was back and I’ve signed up to more group lessons and an individual one too.
Thank you again for all your help. I continue to recommend you to anyone I know who wants to learn Spanish!!
