"Get Real SPANISH is a true Revolutionary product in foreign language curriculum. Its scope is solid and the verb tense base places students far ahead of traditional programs with regard to understanding, speaking and reading Spanish. It is most definitely unconventional, but extremely effective. Our school has piloted this program from its inception and have seen many of our middle school graduates enter high school Spanish at the intermediate level, finishing as fluent in the language. Gina has created a program that is extremely user friendly with easy to follow transitions. Get Real SPANISH is a phenomenon!"

"Using the Get Real SPANISH curriculum for three years gave me a great foundation for my Spanish. After moving into a high school using a different curriculum, I discovered that other students who came from different middle schools struggled with Spanish. I was far more advanced than them. I really wish that the Get Real SPANISH curriculum was used at my high school because I know that Spanish would be much more challenging and fun for me."

"Spanish has been my favorite class this year. I've learned so much without even realizing it. My parents are amazed at how well I can speak this language after only 8 months. ¡Muchísimas gracias, Señora Alcalá!"

first-year student, Get Real SPANISH

"Having my daughter in Señora Alcala's class and the Get Real SPANISH curriculum has been very impressive.  After only 2 months of Spanish class, she was able to speak basic conversational Spanish.  After 2 years of Spanish, she has been able to travel to Spain and Mexico and carry on conversations with the locals.  This definitely is the only way to teach and learn Spanish successfully!"

"Get Real SPANISH has been wonderful for both my kids and myself. My son has excelled in Spanish due to Gina's innovative teaching style and influence."

"The Get Real SPANISH curriculum is amazing!!! The songs helped me learn the information without it seeming like a lot of work. It is a unique way to get you excited to learn more about the language. I learned so much vocabulary and I always remember it because I always have the songs stuck in my head! I think it is a great way to learn a language."

"When I studied Get Real SPANISH with Mrs. Alcala, Spanish was my favorite subject. I learned so much, and I felt like I was on my way to becoming fluent. After 3 years of spanish with Mrs. Alcala, I was able to go into 3rd Year High School Spanish. I will continue Spanish in college, and one day I hope
to become fluent."

"We have two sons that studied Spanish at the same time. Our older son was enrolled in the Get Real SPANISH program and our younger son participated in a different Spanish class that was taught more traditionally. Our older son flourished during the same amount of time that the younger one struggled. While both are excellent students, the lack of progress of our son not involved with the Get Real SPANISH program was frustrating. In addition, our younger son’s best friend was also in the Get Real SPANISH class. The two compared skills often, and by Christmas break the progress gap had significantly widened between the two. He began to complain that his brother and best friend were well ahead of him. He was right. When our older son entered high school, he was was placed in advanced Spanish after testing."
