I would say his class is an easy A, but not because it's difficult is any lower than other classes. He made me feel like I was set up to succeed in his class. I am even speaking pretty good Spanish now. After taking his classes, he has inspired me to go even further toward being a fully bilingual person. He is extremely understanding and knows how we feel as students. He will never make a student feel stuck. He will not make a student settle for a bad grade. He will give them opportunities to get a grade they're happy with. Also, he offers plenty of extra credit and awesome group activities. He is an amazing professor and his class will definitely improve your semester.
