Student reviews about "Standard Course" at Spanish Experience Center
Pamela
"Well structured. "
Giles
"I liked Govanni's approach to teaching grammar. I am a visual learner and he uses diagrams. For me he made the imperative, the subjunctive easy. Thanks, Govanni. I also enjoyed the Tres Reyes celebration in the lobby, before classes stated. Govanni also taught Mexican culture, which I suppose explains the "experience" in the Spanish Experience Center. Everyone is very friendly."
Patricia
"An incredibly great, nice and helpful team. You feel part of a big family right from the start. I would book a course there again at any time."
Durward
"My teachers, Enrique and Luis, were excellent! I studied for an hour every day and I tried to watch the Spanish soap operas.
Thank you very much!"

“Setting: friendly instructors; changing instructors weekly gave variety to teaching styles which was a plus. On-site kitchen with DELICIOUS food!”
“Personally I would have loved to have done a cooking class even if only once a week. Paty produced fabulous food. I wish we could have bought a cookbook of her recipes with photos of the dishes and odd photos of teachers and school settings. I’ll be first in line to buy one! Not hardback and not huge or heavy!!”

“I like the school's atmosphere. The teachers know how to listen and are flexible in their teaching. I also believe that the classroom is important.”
“The only thing that I found difficult is that the teacher of the nextdoor classroom was speaking so loud that it was sometimes hard to understand people in our own classroom. We have to close the door and then it was very hot!”

“Govanni is great.”
“They need to fix the sink in the kitchen.”
Insider tip: “Go on Govanni's trips.”
Details of the review
Quality of teaching / language progress: I liked Govanni's approach to teaching grammar. I am a visual learner and he uses diagrams. For me he made the imperative, the subjunctive easy. Thanks, Govanni. I also enjoyed the Tres Reyes celebration in the lobby, before classes stated. Govanni also taught Mexican culture, which I suppose explains the "experience" in the Spanish Experience Center. Everyone is very friendly.Other comments: Well run enterprise.

“I liked the excellent teaching, friendly staff and sense of community surrounding the school.”
Details of the review
Other comments: They have an excellent lunch service with homemade Mexican cuisine at very affordable prices. Also the school is located inside a roomy traditional hacienda style building with an open courtyard which adds to the overall atmosphere. On the other hand, I found that the school's policy of basing their prices in American currency made the school more expensive and somewhat punitive for Canadians.
