Testimonials

" My wife and I decided when we retired that it was time to make a commitment if we were ever going to really learn to speak Spanish. I looked at a number of offerings on the internet but settled upon Vistas for 2 reasons: 1) we did not have to live with a family and 2) it appeared to be a very rich approach to learning. My daughter who is in the field of teaching language verified that the approach described fit the best research for language learning that she knew about.
Our classes were made of some classroom foundation and practice and about when we thought we could not stand more, we went each day on an outing to learn in the natural environment. To this day, when remembering the names of vegetables, for example, we picture them in the market where our teacher took us. Cooking lessons and outings to local markets, museums and restaurants rounded out the learning. While we were having a great travel experience, we sometimes worried that we were not really learning a lot because we were not feeling 'stressed enough.' However, when the 2 weeks were over we were and continue to be amazed at what we know, what we can read and understand and the great foundation in Spanish we acquired in just 2 weeks. Our instructor was extremely skilled and rapidly adapted her approach to our individual styles and capacities. Just when one of us felt I can't go on, she changed direction and refreshed us. The anxiety and dread at putting myself into a new learning situation, anticipating daily frustration and embarrassment, was gone in the first day. This experience is not just one of learning a language but of being introduced to a culture as well. We plan to return for another, advanced session. "
