"After years of trying to learn Spanish, I started classes with Meredith Morehouse. In a short time, I began to understand the vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, sentence structure, different cultures, and much more, in a fun group. I now am brave enough to have conversations in Spanish with native speakers whenever I meet them."
