Hi, I joined Instituto Hispania at first level as they have the name in Pune ( its a trap, a marketing strategy). As I want to make my career in Spanish language I was really keen on joining institute. But as now I am in level to understand Spanish a little I have realised the books are pathetic here and there are much better books in another institutes (I know this as my friends joined few other institutes to learn and they speak better Spanish than me). The 5th level and 4th level has exact same exercises even the names are same. There are many mistakes in the books and even after complaining teachers dont do anything. Our teacher doesnt even understand English and has to face many problems communicating. Most of the times we now are learning dance and culture than the language. We cant even qualify for official exam due to the level of Spanish we have been taught here. Coordinator doesnt solve our problems and teachers dont care. There is no one you can go to and complain about. One girl came from Mumbai to sort out some issues they had and instead of helping us she screams all the time at everyone including teachers.
If you really want to learn Spanish, this is not the place. The rest depends on you. I am surprised there are good reviews about this institute. (Or maybe they are fake).
