1. Click here to see 30 hours of our beginner class on YouTube.
By watching TPRS 2.0 in action, you will see the ideas from the book put into practice with a real class. You will see the 4-step process repeated over and over again. This particular class consists of adolescents, from ages 10 to 17. They were all new to Spanish except for one girl. At the end of the 30 hours, one of the girls tested Intermediate Low on the STAMP test. She was a true beginner when the class started.
