We use it for our 4th semester French and Spanish courses. In French, we have been using it for a few years now and every semester, both faculty and students love it. In Spanish we have run our first pilot this semester and expect to continue using it.  It is very easy to use and wonderful tech support is provided by the company when needed.

I used it for 4 years or so at a small private college. I've always been satisfied with the experience and my interactions with the company.

Hi Carly,
I have used TalkAbroad with students and it was a great experience! The tutors were professional and well-trained, and prompt. Students gained confidence from talking with a native speaker for an extended length of time (something they didn’t think they could do). Technology was reliable.
I hope to use it again in the future.
Best,
Raychel

Hi all,

I'm interested to hear from anyone who has used or suggested their students use TalkAbroad. I'm interested to hear how it went and if you would continue to recommend using this company.  Feel free to contact me on or off list. Thanks!
