  • "Alexa and her staff are INCREDIBLE! She has a wealth of knowledge and has turned language learning into an approachable fun experience! Starting with no/minimal Spanish, we are already making progress in such a short time. This place is truly a rare gem, excited to continue taking classes here! 🤗🤩"

  • This business is such a treasure to have in Winston. I took the Rueda class and loved it! The instructors were wonderful, knowledgeable, and patient. I can’t wait to take more classes here!

  • "I have tried to learn Spanish many times. I took classes in high school and I tried programs like Pimslur, Rosetta Stone, Duo Lingo, etc. I decided to try a class at Vecino Center and I am glad I did! I recently completed Spanish Level 1 and I learned more than I could have possibly imagined in just 6 weeks! The classes are well organized, the concepts are explained very well, and the instructors display patience and empathy. I plan to continue my learning journey with Vecino Center. I've signed up for Spanish Level 2. I have recommended Vecino Center to co-workers and friends."

  • "I was having trouble finding Spanish classes in the area and now I have a great, affordable option to practice Spanish with other learners and native speakers. Besides language classes, Vecino also hosts cultural activities and language exchanges which are a fun way to meet others. Alexa and her staff are awesome, highly recommend!"

  • "I just finished an introductory Spanish class with Alexa. It was such a fun experience. I have tried all the language learning apps without success, but with the Vecino Center, I am learning!! Highly, highly recommend!"

    Tamara Harrington

  • "Alexa, from Vecino Center, did a great job teaching us in our Spanish Level 1 course. It was good to get back to the basics after not studying Spanish since high school. We focused more on speaking and listening than the formal writing and reading."

    Jeremy Brown

  • "I took the Spanish Literature class and it was incredible! I would highly recommend Vecino Center if you’re looking for a super informational, fun, and interactive Spanish class."

    Tristan Erickson-Cales

  • Could not begin to recommend Vecino center enough. I’m currently in school taking Spanish courses, but because I do classes online I miss out on getting conversational education. Vecino Center not just fills those gaps, but also reinforces grammar, vocabulary, and more. Vecino has left me feeling more confident in not just my speaking, but my comprehension and ability to understand more than just conversational Spanish. I would highly recommend anyone take courses here, whether you’re a student or someone who wants to learn more.
