The teacher is very friendly, helpful and gives many inputs, when I make
mistakes; he corrects me and tells me why. I am glad to
have him as my teacher.

My teacher managed the class in the right way; he cares about my
difficulties and my skills (being French that helps very
much). I think that I got the basis for speaking in
Spanish. Three weeks is a little short to speak perfectly
but ok for later achievement.

great job, keep him! My family was excellent and a good
choice.

The
School provides a very good environment and the necessary services to learn a
language. This has been a good experience for me. Not only
as an academic effort, but also as a cultural experience
of great richness and variety. Thank you,

Private class is well structured. The teacher has objectives which he
sets out for me to achieve. Objectives are reasonable yet
flexible enough to have all questions answered.

As an advanced student, I had a very beneficial time. The teacher was
very smart, very intellectual and was able to accommodate
to the fact that I was proficient in some of the planned
areas of curriculum.

I enjoyed all my experiences here in Mexico. I like the classes,
especially the concentration on conversation. My biggest
problem was my hesitation in speaking. After spending two
weeks working on conversation. I feel much more confident
speaking. I am looking forward to working on grammar now.
The homestay has been fine. The family has been very
helpful and conversation with them has helped to build my
vocabulary and work on pronunciation.

I am staying at the Posada San Rafael Inn and I am most pleased with the
accommodations the owners and their staff. It is close to
the school which also helps. Further more, it is
inexpensive.
