"Yo hablo espanol!"

Linda Mcclellan, student from Barbados

The one on one teaching was great. I really improved in the areas of grammar and comprehension. Most importantly I gained the confidence to speak and tell stories. So many language schools rely on rote and repetition, but with Gemma Cardenas the emphasis is on talking. I also enjoyed the film sessions. At the apartment I rented there were many dvds and after watching a few films with Gema I watched one every night with Spanish subtitles. It was a great way to learn new vocabulary.
