Comments from Previous Participants:

  • I would recommend this program to people whose main interest is to increase conversation abilities.
  • Sergio makes this program great!  He really makes you a part of “Sergio’s family!”

  • You get the opportunity to live in someone else’s house and see what its like.  You learn things that are not taught in the classroom.

  • The teachers I had were excellent.  They made the class interesting with different activities. 

  • I would recommend this program because instruction was excellent and living with a Spanish-speaking family forces one to speak using whatever language you know!

  • Excellent!  Loved the whole experience.
