¡Hola! Soy Rodney, Your Conversational Spanish Coach.

I’ve been attending off and on for a couple of years and am learning so much about what I didn’t understand from past Spanish classes I have taken.  Each lesson has a theme, like introducing yourself or a reviewing a particular word topic, and vocabulary.  He has a system in which each person takes a turn at reading and attempting to interpret.

He often includes recordings of people speaking in Spanish so that we can hear native speakers.  He takes time to explain and answer questions, looks up answers to questions he doesn’t know, and gives tips on studying and learning.  He also brings real world information about communicating in Spanish from his education, experiences and travels.

I highly recommend Rodney to anyone wanting to learn Spanish.

For years I have struggled to speak and understand Spanish. It wasn’t until I started attending Rodney’s classes that it started to come together. I now speak and understand the language well enough to travel on my own, and with each additional class I attend, I can see my fluency increase. Rodney is a no-nonsense instructor that makes complex concepts simple to understand. He has a passion for the language and is willing to teach it in a matter that encourages his students. There are no shortcuts to learning a new language, but with the right teacher, you will learn faster, and that’s what makes Rodney a premiere instructor.

I’ve been taking Rodney’s classes and they’re very helpful. His courses are fun, challenging and he really takes the time to help you understand the language. I recommend anyone to take one of his courses rather your a beginner or advanced level . Lastly the classes are super affordable if you’re on a budget!

Rodney Prince’s Spanish classes are by far the best and most fun Spanish classes that I have taken. He has a sincere love of teaching Spanish and makes his classes fun. These classes are so much better than just using Spanish learning apps. He has put a lot of work into making his classes easy to follow and fun. He is really a master Maestro and is completely self taught. His classes are geared towards all levels of knowledge from just starting to more advanced. The topics are great and they are geared to get you speaking and understanding rather than bogging you down with grammar. They are all conversational oriented and I have enjoyed the improvements in my Spanish speaking that I have seen from his classes.

This was by far the best spanish class Ive ever taken. Not boring, but very fun and learning as you go. I definitely recommend to everyone wanting to learn Spanish!

I was looking for more structure in my quest to learn a foreign language. The classes are very organized, all questions are answered.
The pace is slow so you can comprehend the material that’s being discussed. Everyone gets a chance to participate in the class. Overall the class is excellent.

I had my first class with Rodney tonight. Even though I speak Spanish well, I learned more vocabulary and the past verb tenses even better than before! I will definitely keep attending in the future.

I thoroughly enjoy the Spanish lessons conducted by Rodney and the opportunities he provides for discussions in Spanish–through in-person and on-line formats. I have been taking his classes for about 5 years. Rodney always prepares materials for lessons and is flexible with the instruction based on everyone’s level of the language. We have fun, meet new friends with common interests, and learn a lot. I feel that I have made progress and, most importantly, continue to be motivated because of Rodney’s classes. I continually recommend his meet-up to anyone I meet that talks about wanting to learn or improve their Spanish. Thank you, Rodney!

I started taking Spanish class with Rodney prince about I would say four years ago. I have not been steady I have been off and on but have learned so much so quickly. Rodney also was the dialect coach on my TV pilot that I am pitching to the Networks. My Co-Star and I love him. He really helped us make the scenes run smoothly. He is very professional and very patient. I will definitely be working with him again on other projects.. Rodney teaches dialect from several different Spanish genre like Cuban, Colombian, Dominican and many more dialects. We also take trips to the grocery store to shop in Spanish and have meet ups. Thank you Rodney for everything that you have done. For sticking by me with my busy schedule and still welcoming me into your class.

Rodney’s classes are always fun, and topics are things you will actually need to communicate. He’s great at explaining things so I would recommend to both true beginners and those with more experience. I’ve forgotten a lot of Spanish, and the classes always help me remember, practice, and learn new things. Between Rodney’s travels and the diverse backgrounds we have as students, we also learn how words, phrases, and customs differ from country to country, which is incredibly interesting.

I have been taking Rodney’s Spanish classes weekly for about two months .
Things I like about Rodney’s Spanish classes:
Rodney prepares and sends out written materials in advance so that his students can prepare for class;
Rodney teaches practical Spanish that you can use in everyday conversations;
Rodney teaches idioms that you would not learn from a dictionary but it is the way native speakers speak in a casual way;
Rodney conducts online small group live classes where it is easy to ask questions and get answers;
Rodney gives practical advice on how to become fluent in Spanish;
Rodney’s classes force you to speak in Spanish- the best way to learn and remember.
Rodney sends out follow up materials after his classes to clarify things that came up in class.
Rodney is an inspiration because he is a non-native speaker who taught himself Spanish.
Rodney’s classes are not for absolute beginners but a wide range of intermediate to advanced speakers would benefit from his classes.

For me, learning and speaking a foreign language is an intimidating challenge. This class is welcoming, engaging and challenging. The material is available a few days before class allowing me to familiarize myself with the content before class. This really helps with nerves and promotes comfortable participation. I appreciate the informal format, if I am confused, which often is the case, I feel welcome to ask questions.
If you’re seeking a beginners course, want to improve or practice what you know, you will enjoy this class. Rodney is not a magician, I have a ways to go before fluency but I do enjoy his class.

My family and I started classes with Rodney in the summer of 2021. We planned to visit several spanish speaking countries in the next few years and although I had taken spanish in college it had been over 20 years and I needed a refresher. My wife and son had never taken spanish, so everything was new. We all found the classes extrememly helpful. For me it was the refresher that I needed to wake up some of the things that I had forgotten. Because of the easy conversational approach that Rodney uses I interact with learners on different levels and learn new things that weren’t covered in the text book. Rodney’s knowledge helped fill in some gaps from the extremely mundane like how to say “I am hot or cold” to many culturally different aspects like the different ways to ask for a drinking straw, and much more. And I feel more confident in communicating with locals as we travel around different parts of the globe.

The most exciting part for me however was watching the growth of my wife and son, who up to that point hadn’t had any language learning. I was able to see them begin to put it together enough to be able to have simple conversations with locals, order food and ask for directions. While we all still have a ways to go, I feel that Rodney’s course has been a great experience.

Rodney’s class has been nothing short of amazing in regards to helping me learn conversational Spanish and apply insights immediately. Of the many Spanish classes offered on Meetup, I was drawn to his Conversational Spanish class because of the friendly and family atmosphere offered by both Rodney and his students that allows individuals to learn the language in a fun and exciting way. Not only that, but he provides great notes, resources, and interactive discussions to ensure he helps each student reach their potential. From taking his classes, I’ve been able to travel to several Spanish-speaking countries and effectively communicate with the locals. If you’re looking to learn Spanish and speak with confidence, I highly recommend this instructor.

I have worked with Rodney for more than 4 years. His classes are welcoming and geared to every level. His internet resources are extremely interesting and useful. I highly recommend Rodney and all of his resources.

He trabajado con Rodney durante más de 4 años. Sus clases son acogedoras y adaptadas a todos los niveles. Sus recursos de Internet son extremadamente interesantes y útiles. Recomiendo mucho a Rodney y todos sus recursos.

I joined Rodney’s online and in-person class almost two years ago.
I have seen a huge improvement in speaking and comprehension. He is very knowledgeable and welcomes questions. Rodney has tons of resources that he is willing to share. If you want to learn Spanish and practice with an AWESOME group of likeminded people — join his class!

I studied Spanish through a local institute that promoted Latin information, culture, classes, etc. After finishing the eight levels of instruction there, I and several others from those classes took private lessons from one of the institute’s instructors twice a week for several years. While I learned a lot of grammar and how to translate and we conversed with each other in Spanish, I felt as if I stopped advancing in my learning. Through a fellow classmate I learned of Rodney’s classes. I have been studying through Rodney and his classes for about two years.

I like the classes because Rodney is knowledgeable and understands how to reach all levels of students. He is very patient with everyone, from the basic beginner to the more advanced students such as myself.

He offers classes geared to multiple levels of students. He has lessons in grammar, translating, and ordinary conversation that someone would have in different settings. These settings are anything from ordering in a restaurant to getting around in a Spanish-speaking city to visiting a doctor. Some weeks his classes are very basic and others more advanced. Generally, I still take even the basic classes because they are good not only for review, but I always seem to still learn something new each time. When offering a class beyond the basic level, he still manages to impart learning and help to any basic level student taking the class.

I feel that I have improved my Spanish greatly. I feel more comfortable and relaxed when trying to communicate with Spanish speakers wherever I am. I feel confident enough so that I try to speak Spanish to a native speaker whenever I encounter one, such as at the grocery store or restaurant or the person who helps me with yard work. Rodney stresses that it’s not important to try to be fluent before using your Spanish. Just use it. We are generally patient with someone speaking English for whom English is a second language. So know that Spanish speakers will be generally patient with us learning this new language.

Not only does Rodney offer live classes online and now again in person at a local restaurant or other gathering place, but he also has podcasts and other material available online.

The price is right too. There is no contract. You pay a few dollars for only the classes you attend.

For all these reasons and a few more that I would offer if I spoke with you, I highly recommend taking these classes and checking his other resources.
