¨Ms. Raquel, she is the teacher so responsible and attractive that I have never seen before. Every class, she have prepared a full knowledge of Spanish Learning PPT, including culture, history and the normal expression by native speaker. Also with many interesting games, I could learn the language comprehensively. It´s of great important for foreigner, especially for Asian, because we are of totally different in language family. For me, to learn grammar is important, but that´s not enough. How to think and speak as a native Spanish is the most important thing. Never speak on paper, speak in real. Now, learn from Raquel!¨  Patricia, Shanghai 

¨Raquel老师，是我目前遇到最负责任，最有吸引力的老师。每次上课前，她总会准备一份详尽的PPT，内容涵盖西班牙的文化、历史、当地俗语等，当然少不了有趣的课间游戏。课下，她还会推荐很多地道的西语网站，对一个苦于找不到学习资料的人来说，真是莫大的帮助。相比其它国家，因为受语系的影响，亚洲人学西班牙语难度不亚于英语，但跟着Raquel老师学习，不仅能深入掌握语法，更能原汁原味的了解语言背后的内涵，这对于语言学习者至关重要。来吧，快来加入Raquel老师西语战队！¨ Patricia, Shanghai

One of the best aspects of Raquel’s classes is her focus on making everyone speak by starting every class with asking all students to share something about their week and by giving us creative and interactive exercises. Raquel frequently asks us for feedback on what and how we want to learn, leaving everyone satisfied”
