Professeur très sympathique et attentionné. RL, Montreal
It's still a pleasure to work with Abel. I really feel like I've improved a lot and although I still make mistakes or miss vocabulary, the conversation is flowing well, which is exactly what I wanted to work on. Muchas gracias Abel !TD, Montreal
Denis est un très bon professeur. Il est dynamique, passioné, sympathique. Il s'est bien adapté à mon niveau et ma capacité d'apprendre, et surtout à mes impératifs de voyages en Espagne, de sorte que je puisse me débrouiller là bas. Ca été une expérience très agréable ces cours avec Denis dans des cafés. J'espère continuer avec lui à mon retour. CL, Montreal
Courses with Abel keep getting better and better. I really appreciate his availability and the fact that we can talk about pretty much anything. It helps a lot building my vocabulary and making feel more comfortable when I speak Spanish, which I do much more often now. Congrats to the teacher!TD, Montreal
Abel is an excellent teacher. You can both learn to speak Spanish, use more vocab etc. or just practice the language with him if you already have a conversation level. Great conversations and great teaching skills!TD, Montreal
Dénis est un EXCELLENT professeur! Il est organisé, ouvert et intéressant. Sa connaissance des nuances culturelles latines est étendue et ses commentaires sont toujours pertinents. Je le recommande à tous. Je vais poursuivre mes cours avec lui dès que le temps me le permettra. Merci Dénis!CQ, Montreal
Denis is very helpful and provides very pertinent examples and good insights into the language differences among latin countries. The teacher is very attentive to details and explains the nuances which are not evident to a franco-ontarian. Denis also provides very good and helpful teaching materials.CD, Ottawa
Carolina is an excellent teacher. She is always on time for lessons and responds fast to queries. If you have difficulty speaking she will adapt to your level and always make the conversation smooth. I was pleased that she chose lesson materials that corresponded to my interests and pointed out the areas I needed to work on in a kind but firm manner. I definitely recommend.KR, Berlin
Why learn Spanish? Spanish is the 4th most commonly spoken language in the world and is the dominant language in more than 20 countries, in addition to being the most present second language in the United States. Knowing Spanish will make your travels to Europe and South-America more authentic and enjoyable, and will open for you the doors of many career opportunities at the international level.
Spanish is easy to learn. Although grammar can be challenging, Spanish is almost completely phonetic, meaning that you know the pronunciation of a word simply by looking at its spelling. Spanish will help you enter the worlds of Cervantes, García Márquez, Neruda, Borges, Almodovar and many other great writers and filmmakers!

Ottawa is not only Canada's capital but also a center of intense cultural life, including the country's most important museums and the largest festivals. Additionally, with two main universities, University of Ottawa and Carleton University, Ottawa's population is among the most educated in Canada.
Ottawa is Canada's largest bilingual city where both French and English are co-official languages. Although English and French are the most used languages, many thousands of immigrants speak other languages at home, including, most importantly, Arabic, Chinese, Spanish and Portuguese.
