The Spanish courses I've taken at UCSD were some of the most rewarding classes I've ever taken. I tend to be afraid of participating in large settings, so having a smaller class size was conducive to my learning. I was able to challenge myself and engage deeply in the language itself. The teaching faculty are incredibly helpful when it comes to addressing difficult parts of the course like grammar or vocabulary. Additionally, the topics covered are very relevant to current events which helped me make connections in my classes.

The Spanish department at UCSD has been extremely welcoming to me while taking classes for my English major. What stood out to me the most about the linguistics department is how nice and caring the teachers are. While taking the two classes I had left to take for the language track, my teachers for both conversational and grammar sections were extremely helpful and sweet. I genuinely thought they wanted to see me succeed in my Spanish education which made going to class every day a nice break from routine. Spanish classes at UCSD also have the added benefit of being the size of a similar class at a much smaller university level which really allows you to get to know your fellow classmates over the course of the quarter.

It had been a little over a year since I had taken Spanish when I enrolled in the Linguistics Language Program at UCSD, so I was pretty nervous. However, the class ended up being extremely fun and enriching. My professors made sure the class understood any vocabulary we were confused on, and the topics we learned about were engaging and valuable. The class not only helped me feel more confident in speaking and listening to Spanish, but taught lessons that are extremely relevant to life in general as well. I’m so glad I was able to take the class, as it helped me feel significantly more comfortable with Spanish.

Taking Spanish classes at UCSD was one of the most rewarding experiences of my academic journey. I initially wanted to reconnect with Spanish and improve my conversational skills, but this program offered so much more.

The professors created a warm and engaging environment where I felt comfortable speaking Spanish, even when I wasn’t perfect. The classes went beyond grammar and vocabulary, incorporating real-world discussions about culture, healthcare, and sustainability. This approach not only boosted my confidence but also deepened my appreciation for the Latino community, which is a goal that is truly personal to me.

If you’ve ever considered learning a new language, UCSD’s Spanish program is the perfect place to start. You’ll gain practical skills, cultural insights, and a newfound sense of connection to the world around you.

Learning Spanish as my third language has been one of the best and most rewarding parts of my time at UCSD. I first took a Spanish course while studying abroad and loved it so much that I continued when I returned as a graduate student. At first, going to class every day seemed overwhelming, but it quickly became one of the best parts of my routine. Not only was it a great refresh from major related courses, but the daily practice made learning super effective, and I was able to pick up Spanish much faster than I expected. The immersive, supportive, and motivating environment along with passionate instructors made every class engaging and enjoyable. The program goes beyond just language learning as it also provides valuable insights into the culture, history, and social aspects of Hispanic countries. I truly appreciated how much the instructors cared about their students’ success, making it a fun and meaningful experience. I highly recommend the program to anyone looking to learn Spanish in an enriching way!
