Spanish institute reviews - How Students lives changed from Learn Spanish

We've gotten a lot of great Spanish Institute reviews and feedback from our Spanish students over the years, telling us of their successes and how learning at the Spanish Institute changed their lives and gave them opportunities. Here are just a few stories sfrom the reviews::

improved spanish skills

I lived in Spain for a year, three years ago. When I came back to Auckland I enrolled in your school. The approach to learning, with the accompanying library is excellent and provides a logical, structured and fun way to learn. Last spring, when I went back to Spain, my friends told me that my Spanish was much improved. Thank you Spanish Institute

volunteer helps in central america

I traveled to Costa Rica to volunteer and make a difference. Learning to speak Spanish has really helped me to enjoy my travels. As I now sponsor several Costa Rican children through World Vision, your course has allowed me to effectively speak with them. Thank you very much

reconnected to my culture

I was born in New Zealand and grew up in our monolingual education system, I was not allowed by my teachers to speak anything other than English at home so I grew up only speaking English. After taking classes at the Spanish Institute I was able to talk to my mother in Spanish, visit our relatives in Latin America and live there for some time. When my mother had a stroke a few years later and temporarily lost her ability to speak English I was able to translate for her medical staff which was invaluable for her recovery and well being.

better manage my seasonal workers

I bought this course because I work with many seasonal farm workers. Sometimes I could get away with giving instruction in English, but often I could see that they did not understand. After doing this course I can now give them special instructions, tell them where to go and everybody is on the same page with no misunderstandings. Best thing I have ever done!

english teacher working in peru

I decided to take some private classes to brush up on my high school Spanish as I was applying to teach in Peru, in no time I gained the confidence to speak in Spanish thanks to my amazing teacher. Thank you for the links to schools in Peru, I managed to land a job at Britanica in Lima, the 1st school I contacted. Muchas Gracias
