Excellent Forward Progress!!
June 12, 2025by: Kristine McNeilly - United StatesProgram: Spanish Immersion Online - Native Spanish InstructorsMy language skills are growing quickly and I plan to take ongoing classes. Excellent teachers and organization! The personalized program allows for inastructors to meet you at your level and take you forward talking about your life and experiences. It's a great way to learn.
Excellent Program!
June 12, 2025by: Vanessa Demaral - United StatesProgram: Spanish Immersion Online - Native Spanish InstructorsI started off with essentially no Spanish skills, and I have come such a long way! My instructor, Norma, is incredibly kind and patient, and it is clear that she really cares about her students and wants them to succeed. I was initially concerned about not being able to communicate with a teacher who does not speak English, but this has actually been the best way to learn. By having actual conversations completely in Spanish, supplemented with the textbook, a personalized google doc, and worksheets, I have been able to make a lot of progress. I will definitely be continuing with the program, and I am hopeful that I will be able to reach a level of fluency that I never thought would be possible as an adult with such little language background.
Enjoying my lessons and improving my skills every day
June 12, 2025by: Wendy St. John - United StatesProgram: Spanish Immersion Online - Native Spanish InstructorsI have been taking daily lessons for a couple of months, and am really enjoying them. My instructor, Gaby, is really friendly and helpful and makes the lessons fun. At the same time, she pushes me just a little bit out of my comfort level, which is really helping me learn in a more meaningful way. I am excited about the progress I am making.

I'd previously volunteered in Cambodia teaching English, and I was keen to head somewhere else and help out. I had previously quit university and was tired of working two jobs...so I booked a ticket to South America.

I want to go to graduate school to pursue a PhD in Romance Languages. I have a degree in Spanish, but I knew I wanted to live abroad, immersed in the language and culture, and really perfect my Spanish skills before beginning such a high-caliber program. Having a degree in teaching ESL already, I knew I could get a job teaching English abroad without going through a TEFL/TESOL Certification program, but I wanted to go through an organization so that I would have a support system in my new home and could ease into life abroad with a group of peers who were doing the same type of thing as I was.

I traveled to many places, but as tourist only. I think I was just ready to take my experiences to a new level, really get to know the country as if I lived there. I traveled to India and China in the past, saw all the touristy places but didn't experience as much of their culture as I would like to. Volunteering in Guatemala was exactly what I was looking for: interaction with locals and living just like one of them.
