The Adventure of Learning Spanish
TESTIMONIALS
TRAVEL WITH CONFIDENCE, LEARN SPANISH IN MEXICO
"...I have been amazed at the amount of material we have covered
in just two weeks, especially when the classes are so informal and
relaxed. I loved putting Spanish into practice in the pozoleria, giving
me a chance to experience some proper Mexican culture at the
same time it was great to stay in your home with your lovely family..

    "Yadira:  I am honoured to have been your first student in Adventure of Learning Spanish!  It
    has been a wonderful set of adventures.  You have helped me a great deal to my intentions
    to one day become fluent in Spanish.  I appreciate your teaching style of total immersion
    and especially your incorporation of everyday activities.  I will definitely recommend you to
    friends and various websites.  Please contact me if/when you choose to visit Minnesota!  
    Best wishes for success with your new business."

    ...We were extremely happy with our Spanish classes- They were a wonderful addition to
    our vacation. Our teacher -Erandi Blanco made classes fun and interesting everyday. She
    is filled with energy and knowledge and communicates both to her students. We cannot
    recommend her more highly.

    Yadira, thank you very much. I learned a lot from your lessons, when I start as a governor I'll
    remember your help.

    Yadira Rios is an excellent Spanish teacher.  My wife and I stayed at the Brisas del Mar
    hotel in Zihuatanejo two weeks ago, and the staff arranged for Yadira to come to the hotel
    every morning for an hour.  We were in Mexico for only one week, so I couldn't take her
    extended course, but Yadira and another young woman named Erandi worked with me
    every day to improve my Spanish.  Their enthusiasm and energy helped me to improve my
    listening skills, and taught me how to read faster in Spanish. I highly recommend Yadira.

    I have studied Spanish for three years here in Boston, but I had never been to Mexico
    before.  I liked the way that Yadira quickly determined my strengths and weaknesses in
    Spanish, and then focused on those areas for the next five days.  I think that she would
    use the same method for a student at any level, from beginner to advanced conversation.  
    She seems to have a gift for sensing exactly what a person needs to move forward in
    Spanish.  

    She also teaches French. She speaks English very well, and has traveled a lot in the U.S. I
    emailed her last week to thank her, and she responded right away, saying that she would
    be glad to answer any Spanish questions in the future.  If we go to Zihuatanejo again, I will
    arrange more classes with her. Enjoy your trip to Mexico!

    Erandi- ¡Muchas gracias por su paciencia! ¡En siete clases aprendí mucho! ... Your method
    of explaining a word in Spanish rather than translating into English is a very good method
    of introduction. We tried to cover much grammar in a short time. Ideally it could help to
    practice each new tense before studying the next conjugation. Next time we should study
    for a longer time!
    Susan McGuire
    Erandi, many thanks for your help with my Spanish. Also, thanks for your willingness to
    change the format of the class. Enjoyed the chance to practice ad found you very easy to
    understand. I wish you many days of happiness and enjoy your trip to Turkey to
    understand. I wish you many days of happiness and enjoy your trip to Turkey.

    that I'd find an angel in the form of a Language teacher? Thanks to her I've learned a lot -

    "...The last two weeks have been AWESOME. Salsa on Friday, "El Rancho" (the farm)
    COWS. Lots of love, Yours in Spanish.

    "Muchas gracias por todo" The last two weeks have been a real eye opener and I have
    enjoyed the experience thouroughly! I will definitely be continuing with my Spanish this
    time around! Viva México.

    "The Classes were great practice for my Spanish. Now I feel comfortable getting around
    Mexico and other Spanish speaking countries"

    "I got to practice my Spanish which was good. It was also good having someone who
    knew the area. It was like having your own personal tour guide"

    "At my level of Spanish I had a lot of trouble understanding our leader who spoke only
    Spanish to us, my brothers really enjoyed it though. But just listening was a great learning
    experience.
    Chelsea Martínez

    "These Spanish classes were very good for our kids who were in classes for 3 years in
    junior high and high school. We were in Ixtapa for a week, they took 8 hours of classes in
    4 days. I recommend it."
    Robert Martínez USA
    "Due to my sickness the lessons were limited but in the lessons we had I was quite
    impressed with our teacher Erandi. I have had several past Spanish experiences and she
    has been by far the best teacher I have encountered this far. Our intimate class size gave
    me easy access to all the resources I needed to easily learn and Erandi's strong sense
    of humor helped to make my classes very interesting and productive. Despite the illness I
    have had an enjoyable week.
