What some of our students are saying

 

When asked what they liked about classes at TFLI, students said...

 

…the friendly atmosphere of the class and the willingness of the teacher to explain every question..”

What some of our students have said before
 

"I really enjoyed returning to the institute this semester. Maria was an amazing instructor. She is always ready to teach and excited about having class. Your institute is just so different from Spanish class in college. Thank you so much for another wonderful course."        - Jason Frazier  Spanish 3.1, Summer 2010

 

"I absolutely loved the course! I was thrilled how quickly I became comfy with the material with [the teacher's] help. I enjoyed the diverse group of students. The class was full of different ages, backgrounds, reasons for being there.."

                                                     - Joe, Spanish Beginning 2, Summer 2010

 

"I loved learning at the easy pace, but still learning so much! When I went to Russia, i realized how much I had learned without even realizing I was learning it!"                                 - Rose Dullan, Russian Intermediate 3, Summer 2010

 

" The teacher was very enthusiastic about helping us learn the words. She made the class fun and exciting. [The teacher] was always willing to repeat words, phrases, etc. and eager to answer all questions." 

                             - Kevin Brock, Absolute Beginner's Spanish, Summer 2010

I always feel more comfortable with my Spanish after leaving each class. The time passes very quickly because Maya [Spanish intructor] makes it so much fun.  Personally, I don't really have time to dedicate to this, but...I will continue with classes as long as she is teaching.  I can see a real chance of fluency at some point.           Gregory Richardson, TFLI Spanish language student  2009

 

 

This is my first time taking a class to learn a new language since high school.. class is fun and I have also learned some things about the Japanese culture that I did not know before. I was a little worried when I found out Mika was the normal teacher for the advanced class but she has been very patient. I have learned more in the last three weeks then I was able to figure out on my own in a couple years.“ 

Richard Henry, Beginning 1 Japanese Student Fall 2009
