INTERCULTURAL Comments | Spanish Course Comments
“I had a great trip in Mexico. I learned a lot at the Spanish language school as well. The intensive practice over the weekend helped me out when I was working in Tlaxcala, Mexico later in the week. Thanks for taking care of all the arrangements and making my stay very enjoyable. Beto and his family were a pleasure to stay with, and he took good care of me. I’ll keep Intercultural in mind next time I come to Mexico.” Doug Monroe, Engineer, Age 41 “I enjoyed this trip and I would recommend it to everyone.” –Russ Smith, Oconne High School, Age 16 “The Spanish school has helped me establish a foundation where I can now spring forward into the Spanish language!” -Darren Belton, Environmentalist, Age 37 “I got more out of learning Spanish at Intercultural for a week than in some classes for whole semesters! Being in the cultural environment was really beneficial. I’ll always remember the Intercultural family for singing Happy Birthday to me.” –Stephen Garcia, Social Studies Teacher, Age 29 “I think Intercultural Spanish school served my goals well; I appreciated the friendly atmosphere and individual attention to my needs as a beginning student.” –James Garrison, Music Director, Age 34 “Intercultural Spanish Language School has helped me work toward learning Spanish by giving me a way to practice.
