I've lived in Miami for 4 years now and want to start taking some Spanish classes. I recently went to inlingua just to check it out (inlingua-if.com the one in Doral) it's a private language school which turned out to be a total scam they charge 52$ for 45 minutes for their "super method", you gotta be a moron to pay this kind of money. I recently heard that there are free Spanish classes for adults at night at some high schools just like there are English classes for immigrants I don't know if that is true I was not able to find anything free on Google... In case if there are not such classes could some one recommend a decent school with a reasonable price? I know they have classes at Miami Dede College but I doubt they are that good. I live in Hialeah Gardens...

Miami Dade College is hit and miss with good Spanish teachers. I had a teacher named "Sarita" from Costa Rica, and she was awesome. A really, really good teacher and I learned a lot. I think she still teaches Saturdays and evenings. Tuition was about 100 bucks for about two months of classes.

Exactly! They have bunch of free English classes at public schools then why not Spanish? I'm sure there are gotta be free Spanish classes at some schools at night!? No one knows of any free classes? And if I go to college you think it's better to go to FIU or Miami Dade, I know in FIU 1 credit hour is about 100$ what about Miami Dade College?
I think I'm going to have to stop by at some public school and ask them if there're schools that provide free Spanish classes maybe they know.

You can take Spanish at night at a local High School. The only thing you have to pay, I think, is the ID.

But is there a list of high schools offering Spanish classes? How do I know which one offers? By the way how big is usually class at local high school?

Your not far from me I got lost in Hialeah once for 2 hours lol its like a maze .
I wouldnt go to any place in Doral . A neighbor went for English lessons and another scam.
Have you looked at Craigs list maybe like a group type of Spanish learning class as anything 1 on 1 is going to be insanely expensive
