I had been unemployed for 6 months and decided that learning Spanish could only help. Guess what on the first application I said I understood some Spanish, I got the job. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, I believe without the Spanish I would still be looking.
I really enjoyed this class. Thank you for having an online spanish class for teachers. I am practicing everyday at school with my students. I feel much more able to communicate with spanish speaking students and their families.
The mandarin Chinese course is difficult but they way you guys set the course up is nice. I practice everyday and sometimes twice a day just to make sure I am saying the words correctly. I will be working in China and this is exactly what I was looking for, thanks.
Adriana,I am thoroughly enjoying the on-line course! It is presented in a concise and informative manner. It is also makes learning a lot of fun. I have found it fairly easy to retain the information. I like the short phrases and feel they are important to building a language. I am a doctor, so Spanish is very important in my field of work these days. The phrases that are pertinent to my field are outstanding - ex. patient medical history, patient exam, commands (look here, lie down, squeeze my fingers, breathe deeply, etc.) I also enjoy the occasional non-medical phrases or words. The pace of the course is just about right! Thanks!
I had a little knowledge of Spanish prior to taking this course so it was helpful in putting together phrases but I feel someone with no knowledge would be able to learn easily as well. I really enjoyed the course and would highly recommend it!
