Testimonials For Spanish Immersion Courses in Barcelona
I have attended Dialogue twice and would do so again if the opportunity presents itself. Before I came for the first time, I spent over 30 hours researching schools on the Internet. I could not find any other schools that were as comprehensive in their approach and methods as Dialogue. In order to really learn a language, most people understand that the best way is to think and live the language as much as possible. This is central to the methodology of Dialogue. Moreover, the process of learning a language is not solely incumbent on the student. The teachers must be motivated and love the process of teaching. At Dialogue, Carmen and her staff are extremely knowledgeable and effective at their job. John Paul Lussow MBA student USA __________________ Thank you for providing me the opportunity to learn Spanish in an environment perfect for me. Up to now, I have been forgetting Spanish as fast as I learned it. Now I feel I learned so much in this one week that for sure I will keep it going by speaking Spanish with my wife. I especially liked the social conversation that came along with the great meals. Dan Rayes il Engineer USA (top) __________________ I have studied several languages, buy have not experienced progress like I did in Fontpineda. Juergen Plotz Railway Engineer, Germany __________________ Based on the former students' comments, I felt confident that the course at Dialogue would be excellent. I had no idea, however, that the experience would be as effective, enjoyable and fulfilling as it ultimately proved to be. Although I am sure that there are many fine programs throughout Spain and Latin America, I personally can't imagine that a better program than Dialogue's exists anywhere. I would estimate that in terms of grammar, usage and comprehension, my Spanish skills improved in two weeks more than they would have in one entire year of traditional university level language study. If advancing your language skills in the quickest way possible is your primary goal, then Dialogue Idiomas is a superb choice. Alan Weiss (top) __________________ "The most important consequence of learning a new language is that a new person begins to live. Thank you to Carmen, Norma and Julian for looking after me. And thanks also to Carmen for the good food." Marc Desmedt Electrabel __________________ "The most important element of learning a new language is thinking in that language, and that is what I now do. I had not just one, but two very special teachers for two months." Sunshine Sun, Korea __________________ "The ambience and the Dialogue working methods are optimal. I have been able to progress well, and am leaving with a solid base for the future." Laurent Gauthier, Belgium (top) __________________ "Thank you to Carmen, her family and her team of colleagues for this first big step into the Spanish language. I feel that the journey of discovery of the Spanish language, people and culture that I have begun with you will enrich my life in the coming years." Paul Culley Council of the European Union __________________ "Many thanks for the weeks I have spent with you. I very much enjoy total immersion with your family. I hope to come back very quickly." Sven Hansen, UBS __________________ "As far as the teaching is concerned, I am pleased. The classes with Carmen and Montse have given me much confidence. Without doubt, I have improved during this week thanks to the excellent teachers. Above all, I have enjoyed the family and teachers I have met here. I want to come back. See you soon !"
