It's also great for those who need Spanish for traveling or work, for new students who want to learn but don't know where to start, for people who want practice that fits their needs, for those who forgot a lot since they last learned Spanish somewhere else, and for people who can read and write Spanish but need help speaking it better.

''never had spanish so can`t compare teacher. she stayed in spanish format. I probably should of studied more to get more from course. Probably would of benefited if stayed w/ other member of group, but might of held them back.

'' I wanted to get back to you to tell you
that German was a wonderful, caring and patient instructor for a group
of people who started knowing absolutely nothing. It was a joy to work
with him, and, I feel that I learned a great deal from only 8 hours of
instruction. I can reasonably describe my family, where I live and
conjugate verbs as a start. German's deep caring for our instruction
and willingness to be available for questions really helped to reduce
any intimidation that I might have felt at starting a new language.
Thanks again for everything.'' Oct 19 2007
