I am 68 years old and I retired to Andalucia with my wife fourteen years ago. I wasn't satisfied with my level of Spanish and really wanted to improve it and I started having weekly Spanish lessons with Pruden about six months ago. I have learned far more practical useful Spanish in that time than in the previous ten years and, most importantly, my confidence and skills have improved in all areas: reading, speaking, listening and writing. Pruden seems to have unlimited patience and explains everything clearly and precisely whether it's about the reasons for certain confusing points of grammar or the subtleties of different coloquial expressions.  Studying can be hard work for anyone at times but the lessons are fun, interesting, engaging, often challenging, and always enjoyable. I always have a real sense of progress and achievement. After just six months of stretching and consolidating, I'm already thinking about the DELE C1 level and I never thought I'd ever say that.
