"My experience in the intensive Spanish Program was wonderful. The program and professors are outstanding. The professors spared no effort in helping me and my classmates to succeed and to progress. As a result of this program, I have been inspired to continue studying Spanish and will certainly sign up for the next level course."

“The Spanish Immersion course at the University of Miami is simply put a class act. The Instructors are fantastic and challenge you to become better, faster. Without having had any Spanish classes before joining the U of M Immersion program, after 7 days of instruction, I understand the core of Spanish grammar and am able to construct sentences in multiple tenses in a grammatically correct manner. This was by far the best decision i could have made to start learning the Spanish language. Rosetta Stone or any other individual program cannot even touch the University of Miami Spanish Immersion course”
Carol Lang, Director of Human Resources (May 2010)

"It's been an amazing experience. I've learned more than I thought possible, and at the same time, have enjoyed every minute of the classes."

"This was an excellent start to my Spanish learning."
Banarjee Thomas, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (March 2010)

"I am so impressed with the program. The quality of the teaching is absolutely superb and the organization of the course is fantastic. Each year, I organize a world conference for news executives and I have a fair idea of what goes into organizing and running a program like yours, and I take my hat off to you. It's so well done!

I did a lot of research before committing to the program at University of Miami. I looked at programs in Mexico and in Guatemala and, in the end, decided that what the University of Miami's program offers was ultimately what I needed: an intensive Spanish language experience. And a vacation in Miami! I am so glad I made the decision to participate in this program and I recommend it in the highest possible terms to anyone looking for a fantastic Spanish experience."
Amy Selwyn (January 2010)

"This was an incredible experience. As someone who is new to Miami I was looking for a way to jumpstart my Spanish language skills. This is the best language experience I have ever had, I think because of the incredible skill of each instructor."
ISP student (March 2009)

"I very much liked the idea of rotating the instructors as this provided different teaching techniques. Also the approach of covering the primary language skill and then followed up with reviews and drills helped to enforce the knowledge"
