I have my BA in Spanish and sadly I'm losing grip on my language skills. Can anyone recommend some good Spanish schools for adults in Portland that might have a good refresher course. Of course I can google and have some places in mind, but just wanted to branch out and see if anyone had tried courses. I'm a language nerd and am thinking a nice 2 hour class one evening a week, plus an additional 5 hours or so of study would be a good amount for me.

PCC has several Spanish Courses: PCC Class Schedule

There is a Spanish Meetup: The Conversation in Spanish Meetup (Portland, OR) - Meetup

Or a Spanish Conversation Group: Conversation Groups » Spanish in Portland

Substitute any of the major languages for Spanish and you'll get similar results.

I have been considering the same thing! It would be nice to have some insightful responses based on experience, other than Google. Has anyone attended the Meetups? or the Conversation Groups?? I imagine an immersion type experience, but close to home. If that even exists...

I've attended German and Japanese language Meetup groups and enjoyed them as long as the organizer cared to keep them up. Skill levels were all over the board from just starting to native speaker.
