It was a great and unique experience which definitely helped me improve my Spanish comprehension and articulation.
I had a great experience with Platica! It was very helpful practicing my spanish with a native speaker, especially in a pandemic where it is not as easy to practice because of online classes. My partner was very patient with me, helped me learn alot, and overall was really great!
Ale was the best speaking partner! She was so personable and friendly, I would definitely recommend! Also didn’t make me feel bad or uncomfortable for not knowing a word or two.
I really enjoyed speaking with my partner. It was easy to set up, and there were no problems/hassles when Skyping. It was very beneficial to have frequent conversations in Spanish, as well as helpful to get feedback on what I need to improve on.
I LOVE Ale! Such a sweet and encouraging person to talk with and I definitely improved upon my conversational skills and confidence. She was very open and has a great memory, which made me feel more valued throughout the semester.
I loved talking with Ale! She was so nice and we always talked about important things that pertained to the class. She helped me feel comfortable speaking in Spanish.
My spanish conversation and overall experience was very enjoyable and helpful. My spanish partner was always kind and understanding of my skill level. I think the experience really helped improve my speaking skills.
This program helped me become more comfortable with my Spanish speaking and my level of Spanish speaking because it was such a comfortable and helpful environment. Talking became easier and less stressful because of the positivity of Ale!
My experience with Platica was fantastic! I met two really amazing women who taught me a lot about their culture and personal experiences and our conversations together helped improve my Spanish. Speaking with native speakers is a really valuable experience, and I'm so glad I got this opportunity to practice and learn more about Guatemala.
I really enjoyed talking to Elena, and although I was nervous at first I gained confidence and learned how to navigate the Spanish language with more ease.
I really enjoyed the conversations mostly because of the meaningful topics/discussions and feedback on where I could improve. My partner was also very friendly and down to earth.
Helpful and a great boost to Spanish speaking skills.
Overall a great experience. I’ve never done anything like this before so it was new for me. It was fairly simple to set up and is easy to catch on to. At first I was confused as to when and how often I needed to do it. The constant emails to schedule your appointment though are helpful despite being somewhat annoying. In the long run though, everything moved pretty smoothly except for the occasional technical difficulty or me forgetting about the appointment accidentally. I would recommend to people if they are trying to improve their conversational Spanish speaking skills for sure.
Platica is a great tool that significantly helped me improve my Spanish speaking skills. I was able to have conversations with a native Spanish speaker, wherein the discussions we would talk about pre-selected topics, and after that, we would take about whatever came to our minds. Overall, I would recommend this to other people for the idea that one can go out of their comfort zone to hone their Spanish skills in a friendly environment.
Platica is a great tool that helped me improve my Spanish skills. I got to converse with a native Spanish speaker, which really helps when trying to learn a new language. We would discuss pre-selected topics and, if time allowed, talk about other subjects that came to mind. This program really put me outside of my comfort zone in a good way because I got to hone my Spanish skills in an environment that encouraged improvement.
Platica is such an amazing program because it allows you to gain experience in speaking Spanish as if you were in a Spanish speaking country with the ease of the internet. After two years, I truly began to feel comfortable with my Platica partner, and I enjoyed all of our conversations. My favorite conversations happened when we veered slightly from our set conversation topics and I found myself speaking well and confidently about something I cared about. The program has helped me with my conversation skills and made me much more comfortable and confident speaking in Spanish. Next time I am actually in a Spanish speaking country or presented the opportunity to have a true conversation in Spanish, I will be grateful for all my Platica sessions. - Alaina Moskowitz
I have had a great experience with Platica. In every conversation, whoever I am speaking with is very approachable and I never feel any sort of pressure when speaking to them. It is a great way to help yourself get comfortable with Spanish and I recommend it to anyone trying to build confidence with their Spanish speaking skills.
I think Platica was a wonderful platform to help me improve my Spanish. At first, I was nervous that I would be heavily judged due to not being a fluent speaker, but rather Ceci helped me improve my Spanish greatly. I have been using Platica for two years with my school, and quite honestly I enjoyed speaking with Ceci. I learned to "go off script" and just have a more natural conversation. I recommend this to anyone who truly wants to improve your Spanish, because with Platica people like Ceci share that goal as well and will do what they can to help!
Platica really helps you work on your Spanish speaking skills and helps you put them into practice. I've been using Platica for about a year now and I can say that it has really helped me develop and review my errors to become a better speaker. Platica is a great source for both experts and beginners to become better in the language and I can say that the people I talk to are very friendly and will help you with your errors. One thing I enjoyed the most was being able review my mistakes at the end of the conversation and see what I can work on. I had a positive experience with this program and I would recommend this with others.
Great platform. Would recommend. Speakers are friendly and I feel my Spanish has improved.
