I’ve tried multiple courses to learn Spanish and by far this one is the best. I’m much more confident now that I know what I’m saying, and have learned a ton in less than six months. That said, like most programs, it is not comprehensive. If you want to become fluent, you need to watch Spanish tv programs, listen to Spanish podcasts, news, or YouTube videos, speak to people in Spanish, etc. Paul reinforces that idea throughout the course and he is right. Learning a language is difficult and it’s a commitment. This course will give you a great foundation and the confidence to start speaking and understanding, but you have to do more than just watch his slides to become fluent. I can’t comment on the customer service experience because I haven’t had any interaction with it. My only complaints are that occasionally the slides are glitchy, which is annoying, the platform is very basic, and I agree with others about the constant stream of marketing emails. But there’s a simple fix for that one: unsubscribe.

Course until he takes them away from you even before you finish them. I asked for them back but get no reply. Don’t buy! P.S I've been on a delightful rollercoaster ride with "Spanish with Paul". Picture this: I bought the program, I was notified that my subscription had expired, resulting in the closure of my account, and only to be met with an echoing silence. Meanwhile, my inbox became a digital jungle, overrun with a constant barrage of offers for more of Paul's "unmissable" programs. It's like he's taken up residence in my email, pitching his wares like a relentless door-to-door salesman. So, today, feeling somewhat masochistic, I thought I'd dive back into the chaos and start my lessons. Lo and behold, what do I find? My lessons have expired! And oh, what luck, there's a shiny new offer waiting for me to renew – at a "discounted" price, no less. Well, isn't that just peachy? After being ghosted and ignored, they expect me to happily fork over more cash. But as for lining Paul's pockets with your hard-earned cash? Save yourself the trouble.

The pace seemed haphazard and redundant. I kept having to repeat the lessons while ignoring errors in the screen text. At times, the lessons seemed to go around in circles... I tried to put in a set amount of time each day, but some of the classes were too short, while others seemed to go on and on, and I had to bail out. Finding my way back to where I stopped was another frustration. I got halfway through the $99 course when it "expired," and I was expected to pay another $199 to continue. NOT A CHANCE! There were times when I couldn't log in. I never even got a chance to OPEN the upsell $49 "bonus" course that was pushed when I was buying. In all, it was a disappointment. The free YouTube classes are much more organized than the paid course. I wish I had seen the ratings before wasting my money.

I have requested a refund several times shortly after I purchased the program, with no answers. I have had a multitude of other offers for different programs that Spanish with Paul has flooded my email on a daily or weekly basis. I just went in to start my lessons only to see that they expired and offered a discounted renewal price to get my program back, I mean I finally gave in because of no answer or refund and it is gone. His YouTube is much better and free, I would give it 5 stars, but don't give him any money for any other source of his lessons.

I recently bought a 2nd program as my first one expired. We were told it was new, updated material. Turns out it wasn't. They are using the exact same program and simply saying it's been updated. That is FRAUD. When I confronted them about this fraud, they did refund my money. I'm a clinical psychologist and have don't typically left a review on line. I wanted the public to be aware of their unethical behavior.

It’s ok, but it expires. The worst part is that you get swamped with offers for additional courses. I bought a few, which were terrible and served only to sour me on the whole experience. I decided to just let it expire.

I've used several courses in the Spanish with Paul collection. The main course is excellent, though marred with typos which can be very misleading. Some reviewers say it's boring: well, languages are hard work, so I don't mind that it can be grind. My main complaint is with his vocabulary course which claims to give you 5,000 words but comes in at 3,750. This is fraudulent. Again, its a pretty good, course, but it is very flawed in that many of the example sentences it gives you for specific words provide almost no context for the words, and so offer little memory help. Also, there is still the typo problem, especially misleading with accent marks. On the whole, I believe that I've gotten my money's worth, but there is some frustration here, the need to check spellings and accents out with Spanish Dict, and anger, frankly, at the dishonesty regarding the vocab course.

Overall this is a good course with lots of content. I'd give it 3.5 * I've recently took this course for a second time, with a two year break, as I understood it to be updated - well, it's more or less the same, aside from a Spanish speaker rattling off some questions at the end each of the modules, which didn't overly impress me too much. Nevertheless, Paul is a good teacher and he's very easy to understand. and certainly knows his subject - All obvious pluses and the course when on offer is cheap. The drills can be overly long and tedious. and just looking at writing on a white screen for hours on end is quite boring too. The course greatly lacks colour, variety and a bit of humour wouldn't go a miss as Paul is very dead pan, though he certainly has a great teaching voice. With a bit more thought on the visual side this course could have easily been be a 4* rating. Doing this course WILL NOT make you Spanish Fluent. Spanish children study English at school from 6 - 16 and longer if they want to. It takes a long time to master a language and you have to build up a lot of vocab.' You don't learn too much in terms of reading or writing skills on this course but the vocabulary learning paragraphs are above intermediary level and quite stretching. But, I would still say do it, as it gives you a good foundation in your overall learning process. Quite why he spends nearly all of module 9 on the various Subjunctive tenses is not only totally over the top but rather self indulgent I would say? And frankly not required in its entirety. I consider myself to be an intermediary and I whipped through this course in about 4 weeks - though I only did the basic Subjunctive and ignored the rest - Like I'm ever going to need that? So , I would say that overall, this is set at an 'intermediary' level and then it's up to you to improve on that over time. I've been learning Spanish, on and off for 4 years now and I'm still not very fluent and still can't understand what Spanish people are saying back to me in their longer sentences . as it's just too quick for my ear! So... it all takes a while! I think that this course is a good starting point for anyone.
