Dr Carmen Cornejo

Founder & Teacher

The experience of teaching Spanish to foreigners is genuinely rewarding. I believe that everyone has the capacity to learn Spanish and that it only requires desire and discipline. It is very satisfying for me to see foreigners speaking Spanish. For them, traveling in South America, beginning to communicate in Spanish and having contact with the people of this continent are real accomplishments. Come and study with us!

I like teaching Spanish a lot, because I like to pass on my knowledge and watch how students improve their new language.

It is an interesting way to meet new people from different countries. The idea I have about foreign cultures, from television, is different from the information that I receive directly from the students.

Patricia

Among new words, rules and verbs begins the talking in Spanish which is for me challenging, very interesting and fun because I can get to know new people!

Aurora

Teacher

Teaching Spanish not only let me teach my language and my culture, also I can learn about countries. And the most important thing is that you can have more friends, with different cultures and languages.
I think if you have friends in different parts of the world... the world is not so big any more because friends make you feel at home, friends make that the frontiers disappear and wherever you travel you know that you will find a friend there.
