Teacher Review, May 2021
"I used this to get my 8th graders engaged after an extremely disrupted learning year for Spanish as it was made asynchronous for a large block of time. Almost all my students, even the most resistant learners, have found it a great way of learning and feeling that there is purpose behind the lessons I am teaching. Several teachers and support staff have asked to have a copy of and be included in my class times because this is more than just a phrase book but it is broken up in a clear and functional way for everyone to follow. Thank you for saving my sanity for the remainder of this school year! And yes, I will be using it as an additional resource next school year to demonstrate the application of what we learn in the classroom."
