THE COURSE > TESTIMONIALS

On this page, we will try to give you an overview of testimonials and references. You can read testimonials, watch video testimonials, read about our corporate clients or read our guest book... Even the Scottsdale (AZ) Police Department has something to say about us!

Please note that we do not provide personal or contact details of former guests by email or phone. If you want to get in touch with them, you can do so through a form here which will protect their privacy.

The testimonials below are from all our immersion residences, including the ones in Spain, Mexico and the United States. So if you see a palm tree in the background, the testimonial won’t be from our Belgian Immersion residence ;-)

TESTIMONIALS

The  primary value I got from the week was exactly what my objective was: to gain familiarity with the "outline" of the Spanish language, giving myself a sense of the blueprint of the language so that I can "fill in the blanks" from then forward, piece by piece. Also to gain familiarity with basic pronunciation, grammar, and common idioms. I now know, only after 6 days at Anders, that I could go to any Spanish-speaking culture, with a small Spanish dictionary, and be able to function by myself just fine. The instructors were terrific, the environment was totally conducive to the accelerated learning pace. My overall experience with Anders was outstanding, and I look forward to returning for more advanced work. I recommend it without hesitation. David Allen.

Thank you for a wonderful two weeks at Anders, I shall definitely recommend the school to others. Please give my regards to both Esther and Claudia, two very fine teachers who made the process of learning a pleasure. Jonathan L. Payne. Author, The presence of Soul. London, UK Contact

Thank you for providing me with such a wonderful introduction to the Spanish language. The instruction I received was non-treating, patient and individual. Because I plan to return to Cuernavaca and travel central and south America in the future, I feel more confident about my ability to communicate and further my study successfully.  Donna A., Australia | Contact

Thank you all for a wonderful time!  Everything here was excellent.  During my entire stay I felt like part of the family and was treated as such.  I am eternally grateful that I selected this school and of course for the patience that all of my teachers had with me.  I hope to return in the future.  ¡Muchas gracias por todo!  Erik M., USA | Contact

These two weeks have been such a great experience for me. I thought about Spanish immersion for the past 2 years, and I’m delighted to have made the decision to come here. Rose L., USA | Contact

I can’t think about learning and practicing Spanish in a nicer environment. I hope to coma again! Cecily S., USA |  Contact

Thanks for 3 ½ weeks hospitality in Anders.  Studying Spanish was a pleasure because the nice atmosphere and a friendly team of teachers.  Before arrival my Spanish was ‘nada’ and after 4 working weeks training I’m confident that there is a solid basis for communication in my company.  Drees B., The Netherlands. |  Contact

Thank you so much for your hospitality, encouragement and patience in my endeavor to learn Spanish. I believe I accomplished my goal in my introduction of learning more and putting what I learned into practice. Many thanks to Gina for putting up with my tears as well as my funny expressions! These past weeks have been quite an adventure –hard work yet fun. At the same time, Gina, Esther and Gloria – you all made me feel very comfortable in my learning process. Thank you. Thanks for the wonderful accommodations, the great food and scrabble! Wendy H. |

Thank you both so much for providing me such a wonderful experience.  It exceeded my expectations (and I am hard to please!) :-)  As soon as I mentioned something I would like to do, the plans were in motion to make it happen.   I will recommend your school to all my colleagues.  Michelle K., USA | Contact

Thank you for making me feel so at home at Anders Languages.  Having in the past taken lessons in other countries I say that my stay here has been the best.  I have had the opportunity to speak the language all day with very good teachers.  I have enjoyed the food, the comfort and the excursions.  Daniel P., South Africa | Contact

I spent a week at Anders Languages and had an absolutely marvelous time. I found the accommodations to be comfortable and relaxing, the instructors competent and pleasant, the food outstanding (as good as my wife's best cooking and she's a great Mexican cook) and the residence owners to be very attentive in making sure I was having a great experience. Although there are no tests at Anders Languages, I felt I passed my "final exam" with flying colors. After my week of study, I went by bus to rendezvous with my wife, a Mexican native, and spend the following weekend with her parents and relatives in Chichila, Mexico. My wife had become ill and wasn't able to meet me at the bus depot to pick me up. Instead, she sent her mother and cousin, neither of whom speak English. I discussed the situation in Spanish with my wife's cousin and then she debriefed my mother in law who was waiting on a taxi. I then asked my mother in-law how far of a trip it was to her house. My mother in-law, who I'd known for 10 years, was completely shocked and looked at my wife's cousin with a look of disbelief on her face. My wife's cousin looked back at her and responded, "Answer him, he understands Spanish now!". I knew I'd learnt some Spanish, but was struggling with some of the conjugations and more complicated vocabulary and was feeling a little bit frustrated. This complement really lifted my sprits and showed to me how much I had improved in a short amount of time. On the half hour trip up the mountain, I spoke more with my mother in-law than I had in all of our previous meetings combined. While visiting my in-laws has always been enjoyable, being able to speak and understand some Spanish made a great experience even better. While I'm certainly not fluent after one week of Spanish, I had learned enough Spanish to participate and feel part of the group rather than as an outsider looking in. Anders Languages changed my life, and it took just one week of my time. Mark Siemens, Portland, Oregon U.S.A. | Contact
