Immersion program testimonials

My personal goal was to be involved in everyday life. For me this was accomplished. You are taking classes but it is so smooth that you don’t feel like you’re learning!

Pepa, English Teacher, Spain English Immersion: Everyday Conversation & Culture Spain

I knew that I needed a boost and got it from this program. It is a 24/7 English environment that really works. There have been amazing presentations and great volunteers and the teachers bring their skills and soul to the program. My biggest improvement is in listening skills. Now I catch myself when I start to make a mistake.
