From a Caterpillar Who Could Say “Hola” To a Spanish-Speaking-Flamenco-Dancing Butterfly

For the first time since I left college learning something new took on a completely new dimension. At IFLAC, learning Spanish helped me discover my creativity through the projects that I was encouraged to do throughout the various levels. These projects, which ranged from simple to more complex, were so well chosen and the quality and degree of  guidance so apt for the level, that the challenge of completing them did not detract from the fun of doing them.

No matter which language one chooses in IFLAC, a whole range of learning resources which includes an amazing library is at your disposal. Added to this is the fact that my Spanish learning was supported by a wide range of both native and non native speakers all armed with a stupendous range of personal strengths, interests, skills which are all so  necessary to “drive home “ one’s speaking skills in the  target language by engaging in powerful thematic conversations.

This institute is a fortress of passionate trainers who can enrich your cultural and historical knowledge. They have the perfect formula which can transform you from a caterpillar saying “hola” into a Spanish-speaking-flamenco-dancing butterfly! Even a thousand trips to Spain could not bring about such a metamorphosis.

Last but not least, being a teacher of French, learning Spanish here as well as being given the opportunity to teach French was another extremely satisfying and enriching experience which improved my command of both languages as well as of teaching methods. It significantly improved my communication skills as a teacher and my career in languages.
