I had the opportunity to participate in Jocelyn's beginner, intermediate, and advanced Spanish classes, in which each one is genuinely tailored to its particular skill level. Making mistakes was the best way to learn through conversations, assignments, reading material, and hands-on learning. The open, non-judgmental, and encouraging atmosphere provided the necessary space to step out of my comfort zone. With some background knowledge of Spanish, exercising that muscle again helped me polish my language ability and gain more confidence. Get ready to learn, make friends, and be supported by a fantastic teacher!

Jocelyn Lovick is an amazing Spanish teacher. She finds a way to make Spanish less overwhelming by creating an encouraging and safe learning environment. She corrects students in a calm and non-judgmental way, allowing us to make mistakes without feeling chastised. Each class has a unique focus that helps to make complex concepts more palatable. My Spanish continues to improve because of Jocelyn. I am grateful to have found her class! you!

Learning Spanish with Jocelyn has been a fantastic experience, and I do not say that lightly. I have tried to learn half a dozen new languages as an adult, and I have had mixed success and experiences. Jocelyn's classes have been definitely among the most positive as far as experiences go. For me, having the ability to learn in-person has always been more effective, and Casa Del Sol is one of the rare places in the Twin Cities offering that experience. The pace of the class is extremely accessible, and it is well structured in terms of formal content vs. conversation. Jocelyn also provides extremely useful handouts and exercises. The homework volume is reasonable while being effective. The class I have been is also very inclusive in terms of bringing along the group together and helping each other grow. It is fun to learn about the life experiences of other students and what brings them to this class. I very strongly recommend Casa Del Sol and Jocelyn if you are looking to learn to speak Spanish is a friendly, accessible, and inclusive environment.
