I’ve been studying with Rafael for 3 years, and I only have good things to say. When I started learning French from zero, Rafael’s patience was key. He not only made me feel comfortable speaking a language I didn’t know, but he also made the effort to understand whatever I was trying to say.

Over time, I’ve built not just a friendship with Rafael, but I’ve also gained the tools to communicate. After 3 years, I now feel confident having conversations while traveling and connecting with new people.

His immersive methodology, the videos before each class, and the way he builds community make the whole experience fun and meaningful. It’s a class I look forward to every week—and honestly, it’s been the best class I’ve taken so far!
